For RNAV application on an unpublished route, the angle can be up to 90 degrees at the IF. So nearly 180 degrees to the IF, the controller was not complying with guidance, but it is not limited to 30 degrees.

If you are a ForeFlight user, I would recommend a Sentry. It adds a CO sensor/alert and if you want to use the new reported turbulence feature at and below 14000, it is free if you register the Sentry.

I discussed this extensively with the author of the info. He would disagree with Jason. The author noted that point 4. of the info requires: "4. When conducted in an aircraft, the flight must be conducted under actual or simulated instrument flight conditions [§ 61.51(g)(1)]." There is also...

Mark, I know you know all this, but I am repeating it so that other readers will have the information. FAA guidance to a DPE as it applies to the new ACS. 61.65 did not change, but the interpretation of its meaning has been clarified. The clarification was needed to support the new ACS...

Suggestion, in your article, include the new definition that constitutes a kind of approach. Since they are now based on the line of minima, the long cross country could all be RNAV (GPS) approaches, one to LPV, one to LNAV straight in, and one to LNAV CTL. Pilots and instructors should specify...

I was a member of ABS at the time, and there was general concern for the V tail, of which I owned one and still do. The claim was that he was involved in an accident, which was false and I just wanted to point that out. Monday remained on the board until 1987 and his airplane is still in the FAA...

Do you have specifics on the "the president of the Bonanza Societies "V" tail disintegrated". I have been an ABS member since 1980 and don't recall ever losing a president of the ABS. In 1979, there was a 60 Minutes TV show in Dec of 1979. There were also articles in Aviation Consumer and Flying...

I use the FAA IFP Information Gateway Search site https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/procedures/application/ To find a conventional approach near me, I select the Advanced Search and select the state, most recent TPP date, only check IAP, and enter search text for the title of...

By design, downgrades occur when you are 1 minute out from the FAF. RAIM available will not have anything to do with WAAS service because WAAS does not use RAIM. Also RAIM available means that the algorithm can be performed in the GPS, that is different than the result of whether or not the RAIM...

In Europe, they log IFR time which is the flight time under IFR rules. In the US, we log actual or simulated instrument time. When pilots convert their FAA ratings to EC ratings, they need to figure out how much IFR time they have. EC logbooks are done differently than FAA logbooks.

Undoubtedly the Solar Storm. LPV, LP, and WAAS vertical guidance was wiped out for the entire US CONUS, Canada, and Alaska for about 8 hours on the date of your flight. If you look at the LPV annunciation, it would most likely have been amber rather than its normal green color on the GPS...

I have seen that occur when VLOC is set on the GPS, but the CDI/PFD is set to GPS.

Not exactly, but it did take quite some time however from when the idea was first submitted to the FAA by the NBAA back in 2011. It helped that the FAA wanted to reduce their contract with Leidos and this was one way it could be accomplished. The main issues that had to be dealt with was buy in...

Number 2. It is extremely rare that a GPS shares the antenna between two systems. I don't think any of the popular Garmin or Avidyne systems allow this. However, there are instances where a GPS antenna will break into oscillation and in effect become a local GPS jammer knocking out all GPS in...

Not the 180 power off landing demonstration, but illustrates the difference between some of the smaller aircraft vs the Bonanza attempting the "Impossible turn" back to the runway on a departure engine failure.

I am a Bonanza owner of 45 years and specialize instructing in the type. They are very good gliders in the clean configuration, better than 10 to 1, but not so much with the gear down and much worse with gear and flaps down. In the pattern, as long as you delay extending the gear to abeam the...

A Bonanza A36 can't make the runway from a normal pattern, especially with gear and flaps down. If gear is extended abeam the numbers, you can barely make the runway if you turn right away. With full flaps down, no chance.

Actually, it has bearings and they move with changes in the local magnetic variation over time, so using the magnetic bearing from 20 years ago, might not fly over the same dirt, whereas with a VOR radial, the radial you set in the OBS and the CDI if it is centered, will go over the same dirt...

Mode S Transponders and ADS-B Out systems provide for the ability to configure a call sign. Most accomplish this using the ICAO Aircraft ID or registry number (aka N number). Most but not all may be configured to permit the pilot to enter a call sign that is different from the registry value...

You need to comply with JO 7610.12A which deals with the assignment and authorization of call signs:
