It's from the TERPS. It is explained in AIM 5-2-9 (e).

I don't think that the spacesuit measurements will be much of a problem. They do not have to work in the suits, just wear them and ride home. It doesn't have to be a perfect fit.

That's the controller's fault for not specifying a direction. If the direction of turn was important, he should have specified which way to turn. In that situation, the most likely pilot action is to turn to the intended heading in the shortest direction. Did you turn in the longer direction?

That comes from the AIM. It is for when remaining in the traffic pattern and would apply regardless of what the TPA may be. The reasoning is that if you turn crosswind within 300' of TPA, you will be at TPA about the time you turn downwind and will not be climbing up into traffic already on...

Start with the regulations that cover operating in the vicinity of airports. 14 CFR 91.126 through 91.131. They will tell you what is required by regulation at airports with operating control towers in each class of airspace. Next look at the information on airport operations in AIM 4-3-2...

...Then they later are wiped out by a nasty virus spread by phone handsets.

You really need to be able to get rid of the question marks in order to say that a passenger, who says they can do it, can't do it. The regulation does not provide for extended testing. It says that "the certificate holder determines that it is likely that the person would be unable to...

Take a look at the requirements of 14 CFR 121.585 and see if it includes a provision that the passenger objectively did not meet.

Did the airplane not have a hand mic?

If you have access to a good complex airplane, I'd say do the complex endorsement first then do some cross-countries in it to build some experience without unfamiliar airports and working with ATC. When you get back into the slower, simpler trainer for your instrument rating you will be...

If they want VFR departures to contact clearance delivery prior to taxi then they'll list it on the ATIS. If they haven't listen it on ATIS, it's there fault, not yours, that you called ground first.

I use Windows for computers and android for my phone. I started with a TRS-80 in 1979, transitioned to a PC-Compatible in 1984 and Windows in 1990. Never had anything against Apple. Had a couple of iPods along the way and really liked them (but not being tied to iTunes). My airline provides...

I have confirmed that JAC is a supervised-entry airport for Skywest, as it is at my airline. I don't know how an unqualified Captain was assigned to the trip. I had a JAC layover coming up this weekend but was displaced from it so a reserve Captain could be qualified.

I've never flown an Airbus but find it hard to believe that there wasn't an unreliable airspeed procedure, probably with memory items. It would have them disconnect the autopilot and auto-throttles, and turn off the flight director cues, then set a predetermined pitch and thrust setting that...

As you setup the structure of your common ownership, you need to have an agreement that provides for what will happen in the case of death, disability, disinterest, drugs, delinquency, divorce, and the eventual dissolution.

No. Probable Cause the loss of control, attributed to a sudden and unexpected aileron hinge moment reversal that occurred after a ridge of ice accreted beyond the deice boots because: 1) ATR failed to completely disclose to operators, and incorporate in the ATR 72 airplane flight manual...

JAC, EGE, and ASE are supervised-entry airports at my airline. Captain must be qualified by taking a trip in, and out, with a line check airman.

It's generally at a towered-airport before, or after, the hours that the tower is closed.

Yep. I can fly a pattern but many GA pilots wouldn't recognize it as a pattern. 210kt on downwind, 190kt on base, 170kt on final slowing to a target speed often in the mid-150s. (My record is a target of 165kts) We usually join final at, or beyond, 5mi from the runway, even on a visual...

That is not an ATR. The ATR's gear extends from the body of the fuselage, not the engine nacelle. It looks like a Dash-8.
