A recurrent nightmare for me. I've trained for this situation but never had to perform it for real. And that was just the way DOWN to Florida...

Travel with us from Nashville to Denver and then back to NJ. We pick through a line of storms in the flight levels north of Oklahoma, deal with the density altitude of Denver, and then contend with unforecast winds which affected our fuel burn on a long and tight stretch of flying, all so that...

That's what I thought, until I came across this... http://www.dauntless-soft.com/products/groundschool/121or135.asp And then I started to wonder why the ATP-S has the "135" qualifier in parenthesis after it (suggesting that there was a "121" variety) and I wanted to make sure that I wasn't...

Even if CTP is not required for ATP-S?

What are the big differences, does Sheppard prepare you for either, and how do you sign up for the 121 variety? The PSI site (the vendor that manages all the FAA written tests) only lists the 135 variety as an option..

See AIM 5-4-5, section 4, paragraph (a);" ATC should not clear an aircraft left base or right base leg IAF within a TAA at an intercept angle exceeding 90 degrees."

Velocity173- Scrub to 16:30. I explain my reasoning for the query, then ask “would you like me to do the course reversal at JOPIV or expect vectors to final” to which she responds “you should expect vectors to final”. To me, and please tell me if I’m wrong here, but that is tacitly stating DO...

Velocity173 - Not to belabor the point, but I asked and she specifically told me NOT to fly the HILPT and to expect vectors. How does that factor in to what I did? Clip4 - sorry you feel that way. These videos aren't for everyone...

Velocity173 - I totally get that. But what if the turn onto the final approach course is a 150 degree turn from the heading it takes to reach the fix? At 150kts, when do you start that turn? If I let the FMS do it, it will start well before reaching the fix. If I cross the fix and then make the...

Also, don't forget... I ASKED whether I should expect vectors, OR whether I should expect to fly the procedure turn (given the angle at which I approached the fix - which would have required well in excess of 90deg to turn onto final - a course reversal procedure would be necessary) and was told...

Im not trying to make a big deal out of it. It was the only thing that was anomalous on the flight, hence the highlighting. But, the series of errors were 1) not giving me appropriate instructions and allowing me to cross final approach course, 2) as a result, the potential traffic conflict, 3)...

Actually, I was told to expect vectors after specifically asking about entering the hold/procedure turn, given the angle at which I was approaching JOPIV.

Had I not been in visual conditions, I would have done that for sure. When it's really busy (which it wasn't) I've also keyed the ident button. Thanks for watching and for reaching out!

Exactly! I would have, but I saw the conflict emerging and I needed to focus on identifying traffic.

Vectored across the final approach course into traffic on the way to Nashville for the MMOPA convention. Part 1 of an epic Eaglemania journey.

So sorry you feel that way. I don't make a cent on these videos and only do them because I enjoy contributing to the aviation community at large. Happy to entertain any critique you have of them to make them better. Jon

JK's! The best! Thank for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

Come fly right seat in a Piper Meridian with me as I fly from Manteo, NC to Akron, OH with a nighttime return. Life in the FL Ep27

Short Takeoff Over Rocky MountainS ;-)... (it's clickbait)

Piper Meridian in and out of Dulles, a busy Class B in the Northeast, with lots of STARS in both directions and some storms to contend with, for a private tour of the Lockheed SR-71 at the Udvar-Hazy Annex from the man who flew it.
