I think they have to be current like IR pilots have to. Plan B for OP could perhaps be to get vectored and brought down to MVA for a visual approach. With that said, I don’t mind OP’s risk/reward philosophy as he sees it. Freedom to chose for himself I guess.

No idea but it sounds like ASR approaches are more common

In this scenario, you can tell ATC that the GPS failed and that you need radar vectors. Maybe followed by a PAR/ASR approach

Personally, I can fly in the clouds, fly in the mountains, fly at night. But only one of those at the same time.

If I had to guess, 60%-70% of Travis Approach's workload is GA traffic. Very easy to deal with and accommodating.

You can follow I-5

I've been up to 17,500 in a Tiger

Yeah, the AMUs are always a negative but finally getting remote access to the plane is cool. I'm assuming other remote features like uploading flights plans etc. might come in a later software updates

Looks promising from Garmin's marketing materials: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/664160 Sort of what should have been available many years ago imo.

AFAIK FDIC’s only source for covering $250K insurance and other bailout is printing money, am I right?

True, but banking is primarily about converting liabilities (deposits) into assets (investments) and pocketing the spread there. Obviously risky for the creditors (customers) at times.

They must invest deposits. Only way to pay for tellers, ATMs and all other expenses running a bank + trying to make a profit. That's what banks do, invest deposits.

Can’t wait to burn that GAMI juice LOP with GAMI injectors :)

As far as a low pass, I would be interested to know if wreckage gear lever was up or down

Always a chain of events behind these accidents and the biggest abnormality here is clearly the 180+ kts approach ground speed. What is it, 30-40 knots above gear extension to the threshold? It doesn't make any sense, unless you consider the intent of a low pass several in here have speculated...
