Read a book when I was a teenager

Attached are some examples of the approaches I have seen where the missed approach instructions as written represent a threat that need to managed. Sometimes, the procedure ends at a fix without published holding, sometimes on an assigned heading and sometimes there is missed approach procedure...

I have never seen an approach with no published missed approach routing after the MAP. I have flown several where the missed approach routing ends at a fix with no depicted hold or on a an assigned heading to await further instructions from ATC. I’ll post some examples later, if I am figure...

Unfortunately, I had to apply for the SI in order to return to my day job. Somehow I have gotten myself into a situation where I gotta burn kerosene in order to afford 100LL.

I try not to do inappropriate things in life, even it doesn’t threaten to put you in jail. Seriously though, we are talking about a hobby. My world doesn’t stop if I just can’t fly until year (or ever). If it’s a gray area, I’d rather just keep flying with my instructor until I have a...

I have been denied for my most recent application due to MI which is a disqualifying condition. I subsequently applied for a special issuance. Aeromedical responded by asking for additional test, which I have completed. I am awaiting a final ruling, which I am told will likely come in the 1sr...

Thanks for the feedback

Thank you for posting this. I was just sitting here on computer searching for this information. This is consistent with what I believe to be true, although I couldn't find this express language. Thanks

It seems that one silver lining of my incident is that I learning things I never knew. This is great info. to know. But if I had not had a medical misstep I would have never even thought to ask some of these questions.

Honestly, I don't know the answer to this question. It might take a little more research to find out if I can fly a LSA while I am awaiting a decision on my special issuance. I think there a few places in the mid-west that rent factory built RV-12's. That would be pretty awesome

My daughter is a private pilot working on her instrument rating. For a combo Christmas/Birthday gift, I offered her to take her to a seaplane course in Alaska, an aerobatic course in Fl/AZ or a mountain flying course in Co. She thought at this point in her flying she would gain more confidence...

Excellent.... Rather than re-invent the wheel, I think I am going to copy your exact setup. Is this an accurate component list for your rig? - X-plane 11 - Navigraph Subscription - Reality XP - GTN650 on kindle - Logitech G Pro Flight & Throttle combo

That is interesting. I didn't know you could fly gliders with no medical. It seems strange that they will let me fly a glider solo, but I can't even qualify for basic med to fly a LSA. I don't really want to ask the DPE to act as PIC, since I don't really need the rating. I am flying for fun.

MSP area (although, I do go to Miami & Tampa a lot to visit family when the weather is cold)

That's a great idea I had not thought about. I could put my master's degree to good use. Thanks for the tip.
