    ADs, Flight Schools, and Checkrides

    And there doesn’t appear to be one that covers the 90 or 100 series, or the Baron, which I remember our PMI requiring compliance for when we did a conformity inspection in the 2008-2010 time frame.

    What if... Modernizing GA

    The design criteria for the DA40 probably was something like “better payload than a 172,” so once that criteria was met, they moved on to others.

    ADs, Flight Schools, and Checkrides

    So just to hijack the thread for personal use, there was an AD issued after the Roselawn crash that required certain verbiage in the AFM/POH regarding flight in icing conditions. It applied to numerous types and/or models of aircraft, but I can’t find reference to it anymore. Does anybody have a...

    What if... Modernizing GA

    I can’t answer that, but consider the Hawker 4000 with a composite fuselage vs the Citation Longitude with an aluminum fuselage. Interior dimensions are the same, but an aluminum structure needs ribs and stringers, so the outside dimensions are larger. Larger fuselage means more drag, requiring...

    Garner could probably sell me on a Firebird.

    Mesa AZ incident.

    ATC isn’t authorized to close the field. They just control traffic in and out of it.

    How to enter a holding pattern?

    No…it shows the holding pattern southwest of the inbound course, and “hold NW” indicates the location of the inbound course relative to the fix.

    How to enter a holding pattern?

    I got “hold northwest of the XYZ VOR 10 mile fix on the 220 degree radial” on a checkride once. ;)

    How to enter a holding pattern?

    I’m recalling the line at 70 degrees from the inbound, but the same other than that.

    Wake Turbulence: Small behind a Large

    I doubt that all-engine book numbers exist for 737 takeoff since Part 25 takeoff performance calculations are predicated on an engine failure, but they do publish a balked landing climb gradient that’s all-engine. For the Beechjet at max takeoff weight, sea level, 20 degrees C, that works out to...

    Wake Turbulence: Small behind a Large

    I’ve never gotten a takeoff in where wake turbulence was a potential issue that the tower didn’t give me a fairly quick turnout to avoid wake turbulence. Despite the head start, I’ve never flown a light GA plane that will outclimb a jet.
