That was the point.

Apt analogy if you brainwashed her into believing the dryer was the washer and the washer was the dryer.

That regulation is referring to special qualification airports, but some of those can be initial qualification/supervised entry. Airports requiring IQ/SE are listed in our general operations manual, not in our OpSpecs. IQ/SE airports require PIC (Captain) to be qualified with an LCA, simulator...

Okay, then read it is "negligible." Why do you believe elevator blanketing is the important factor? The Piper Tomahawk should be great at flat spins then.

Of course it isn't. It was a flat spin. Not recoverable unless you can shift the CG. So we need JB's opinion, really? The rudder authority in a flat spin is zero in any aircraft, not just an ATR.

The government can't prevent people from breaking the law.

The midfield cross has issues as well. I've always favored entering the crosswind over the DER, and never regretted my decision. I have regretted others trying to a midfield cross for the opposing runway and almost T-boning me when I was already in the pattern.

They're supposed to interpret the regulations, not make up ones that don't exist. IOW their opinions should have a basis in law, not "because we said so."

That opinion is kinda weak. "The AIM isn't regulatory, but it and an AC says you should do a 45, and we have always believed it is legal, so therefore it's legal."

The temporary certificate expired and he made no effort to renew it. Therefore he had no pilot certificate at all. He was not authorized to act as PIC under any circumstances and his CFI was invalidated due to not having a pilot certificate. Regardless of whether the temporary was issued...

You wouldn't consider the turn from a 45 degree entry leg to the downwind leg to be in the vicinity of the airport?

Sorry, had too many trains of thought going at once. I don't see anything in the C208 POH to suggest engine failure due to fuel exhaustion would cause the propeller to feather. Loss of oil pressure or pilot action via the propeller control seem to be the only situations that will feather the...

91.126 doesn't use the word "pattern," it says when approaching the airport.

Increased drag makes you go faster? I always thought drag was used to slow down.

In a steep descent, especially in a turbine aircraft, the power is already idle. When the engine quits, nothing happens.

In English?

You don't point your nose at the ground when you run out of fuel. That's not how it works at all. It's like saying running a redlight will cause your car to spontaneously combust.

The software is ancient and the owner is coasting. He once told me how much money it makes and heck, I would probably coast too if I made that much.
