What intensity of precipitation will you guys fly through as an instrument rated pilot on an IFR flight plan? light to moderate? or greater? I don’t mind some green and small areas of yellow. I’ll stay away from heavy to extreme as that’s more often than not associated with thunderstorms. I have...
That’s true for a non towered field. It’s the pilots prerogative whether they choose to circle or not. I was talking about a towered field so maybe I should edit my original post.
Question for y’all. I guess for this example we can say we are doing a circling only approach that takes us in from the west. The field has one runway. runway 36/18 and it’s right traffic for 18 and left traffic for 36 the wind is favoring runway 18 so we circle for right traffic. would that be...
If Instructed by ATC to expedite your climb through 6000ft would you return to a normal rate of climb once reaching 6001ft or would it be 7000ft? sorry for the stupid question
What is your guys practice for use of carburetor heat while flying in rain? on/off? temps aloft dependent? humidity? only on when suspected carburetor ice or power setting outside of the normal operating range?
Good point. The left turn just seemed like the safer option. The traffic was already off to my right a bit and appeared to be moving more to the west. I just didn’t want to chance making the right turn slightly toward him and he never sees me. I have a tendency to over analyze and dwell after...
was flying yesterday below the floor of class charlie at 1500ftmsl heading southeast bound I had traffic at my 12-1 o’clock same altitude opposite direction. I don’t think he ever saw me because he never altered his course but I elected to alter my course to the left because if I went to the...
on an ILS after reaching DA and having all the required items to descend below DA do you still fly the GS and LOC all the way to the runway or use the VASI/PAPI if available?
I think we are misunderstanding each other. Yes the aim mentions "the point at which the turn may be commenced and the type and rate of turn is left to the discretion of the pilot (limited by the charted remain within xx NM distance) " I feel like most of us would fly the full procedure such as:
I never said anything about flying all the way to the barb before starting the PT. You're suggesting to not intercept and track the loc outbound at LUTZZ? and to just start your 45/180 PT at LUTZZ? Isn't that the complete opposite of what your posted earlier? I'm not trying to be rude.. just...
Not quite sure i follow. The PT can begin once you've crossed the IAF and have course guidance outbound. only requirement is to remain within 10nm of the PT fix. Also, I believe the Initial approach segment ends at the IF or if the IF is not depicted than it would end once you are established...
