    Precipitation intensity

    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...

    Circling approach phraseology

    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.

    Circling approach phraseology

    Of course I know what that means. It was just an example I made up where there weren’t any circling restrictions like that in the briefing strip.

    Circling approach phraseology

    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...

    Expedite your climb

    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

    Carb Heat in rain

    I do, some pilots have different techniques so i was just more or less curious

    Carb Heat in rain

    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?

    Right of way

    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...

    Right of way

    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...

    ILS question

    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?

    Procedure turn question

    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:

    Procedure turn question

    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...

    Procedure turn question

    That was my thought exactly!

    Procedure turn question

    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...

    Procedure turn question

    This is correct. He probably made a typo

    Procedure turn question

    I was pretty sure the correct procedure after LUTZZ would be to intercept and track the loc outbound and than do the PT. I guess what I'm getting caught up on is not knowing if that will always be the case with a feeder? will you always go from the feeder and intercept the loc/vor and track...

    Procedure turn question

    Hey all, another question about feeder routes and procedure turns. Reference this approach. UAO LOC RWY17. What would be the correct way to fly the full procedure from the UBG feeder to LUTZZ at 9.8DME. Once reaching LUTZZ intercept and track the loc outbound and then begin the PT or after...

    Temps aloft/Inversions

    Temps aloft/Inversions

    Hey all, is there a simpler way to determine the temps aloft with a temperature inversion? for example, if we are at sea level and the OAT is +5C at the surface and we reference the FB at 3000ft with the temperature still at +5C. What exactly is the temperature doing between the surface and...
