The point is that there's no requirement as to when to start the climb. You are PIC, and it's your responsibility to make that determination. The only requirement is that you meet the altitude specs for the waypoints on the procedure. I'd suggest discussing this some more with your CFII...

Oh, I thought it was your private cert you were close to getting. Didn't realize it was your instrument rating. My bad for assuming... Was your altitude restricted? Why? Did they release the restriction?

A few other things about A,B, and C. A - PDC, DCl: These are data link things. You may or may not be equipped with this expensive gear. But, all it really says is fly the procedure and climb as required to meet the procedure specs. B - Key thing here is that ATC has, for whatever reason...

There's no requirement when to climb, just requirements to meet as far as being at the correct altitudes at each waypoint. So, it's more like C. You are established on the departure, because, according the the departure procedure, you are receiving radar vectors to RAYVE. It's up to you to...

200kts helps to not make the ft/min climb quite as steep. But your original post said 2min to RAYVE. 1min means you have less distance. Just do the math and you'll be able to calculate the required climb rate. Wind matters also, since it's ground speed and not airspeed you need to use for the...

Ah, I see. Simulator. So, you can do a calculation based on ground speed, distance, and altitude change. At 9,000 ft, unless ATC has authorized it, your max speed is 250kts. I'll assume that. So, you're 2 min from RAYVE at 250kts, 9,000 ft, and you need to be 13,000 by SLAPP. 2min...

I misread the original post a bit. Thought the OP said approaching RAYVE for an assigned altitude of 9,000, not at 9,000. So, yeah, I agree with your question. How did they get to 9,000 prior to approaching RAYVE? The SID does say at or above 7,000 at RAYVE, so it's okay to be at 9,000...

I would have expected an instruction like "Climb via SID except maintain 9,000" if your assigned altitude is 9,000. You need to be at 7,000 or higher when at RAYVE, so you'd better be climbing to be at least 7,000 before you get to RAYVE. According to the SID, you're supposed to climb to...

Not as its normal storage place. Nothing wrong with a few days tied down on a trip even in rain. Flying the plane soon after it gets wet will dry it out. But yes, one should have a hangar for its home.

Good job recognizing the situation and recovering. Also good that you plan to get more training and practice. It's a world of difference with an instructor knowing you can remove the hood and doing it by yourself in actual. However, one thing to emphasize is that spatial disorientation...

My 1989 Super Viking regularly trues out at around 200mph (POH is in mph, so that's what the airspeed indicator reads in). That's around 174 knots. This is at 8000MSL and ROP at 13gph. People tend to be scared of wood and fabric which can depress prices. Get a good pre-buy from one of the...

Sorry, but this survey is poorly designed. Take the following question as an example. Try answering 0 to each question (the case for me). Can't do it. 0 is a valid answer according to the question, but the survey doesn't allow it. Feels quite biased as if the questions have been...

The kind of discussion that says that didn't happen? See: http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/waf/aa-mideast/israel/af/israel-af-not-used.htm They did fly Czech built Me-109 variants. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avia_S-199

Ahhh! That makes more sense. Thanks for the clarification. Knew I was missing something. I use "tr" in my shorthand when getting a "turn right" instruction in a clearance. So that's why I interpreted it that way, I guess. I've gotten clearances from Palo Alto in the past that said...

The thing that I noticed about this approach is the instruction to turn right (tr) from a heading of 183° to 127°. Highlighted in the picture below. That seems a bit counterintuitive to me. Do they really want the pilot to make a 304° turn to the right at USINE instead of a 56° turn to the...

Uhh, those aren't T-6's. They're T-34s. Still, impressive.

That would be Frank Holbert. https://www.160knots.com/ Frank runs the Viking Pilots Forum at: https://vikingpilots.net I'd suggest going to that forum for Viking related questions. There's a wealth of good info there. Happy Holidays! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

That's a really good point. I hadn't really noticed the distinction about open water before. Good catch with the chart legend. However, like a lot of FAR's, there may be other factors to consider. The actual full text of that sentance is: An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except...
