Turn left proceed on course.

That makes no sense to me. BOYER is right there if that was the case. And again, in my home airport I get: SBJ V30.LANNA all the time. You take off and you don't join R-274 (V30). I know many have done that and have gotten a mouth full from N90. So now I'm really confused.

It's not even about time. it's about plane AND airports. How many planes are capable of CAT III approaches and have airports that support them. And again, there are still restrictions even in this case. I updated my statement above anyway.

Yes, there are still some restrictions though. But sure, I give you CAT III. Now back to reality for 99.9% of the folks reading this thread.

So this happened, and I'm not sure if what I did was right or wrong (definitely safe though so I'm not that upset). Flying out of KLNS I filed the following: DCT LRP V39.ETX V30.LANNA SBJ DCT And got that. I was departing RWY 13 (flying back East). Question: On departure, when you check-in...

Because it would no longer be a straight-in approach. My guess is if you move HIKLO closer you will need a steeper descent to get to MDA. The missed and MDA are typically not at the same point in space, that's a DA. You need time to see the airport on a NPA. Another point comes to mind: An...

Does anyone find it strange a bunch of pilots are telling a non-pilot to go “after his dreams of flying” in this kind of thread. I mean …. I agree … but still … irony anyone?

You still sticking to this story? For real. I think you are either biased against Chinese pilots (I can't believe what you said up there given the number of hours all three of them have in various types of aircraft) or just ignoring the facts. The guy in the right seat was a flight instructor...

I concur. I just took my wife and son (5! Type-Rated in both 747 and Space Shuttle already) to Mystic (KGON) in a DA-40 and W&B was definitely a concern. You CAN do four but they may need to be strategically placed in the plane in addition to loosing some fuel. Now add high DA to the mix….sigh...

$3000 bond (you get it back when you leave), $75/month for an IFR certified C-177 with a GNS 4 series (no WAAS), AV-30C Attitude indicator, 300 AP and strong engine. Have flown it to VT and back with no issue to really speak of. Great bird. DM if you are interested. 47N is Central Jersey Airport

$3000 refundable bond, $75/month. 1977 C177B FG. Very nice plane, has been all over the country and just had a few upgrades done. Please DM with more info if interested.

Wrong forum too. Mea culpa.

Because Tom, these pilots at least on paper seem exceptionally qualified as well as proficient. Furthermore, i can’t think of a single reason and/or checklist that would have the PIC descend the plane that fast that quickly even in an emergency situation. My money right now is some kind of...

But this flight clearly didn’t have an engine out. And if we are to believe the early reports shared thus far, the plane’s systems seemed completely nominal at the time of the dive. Also, the flight being referenced above, if looked at from a flight path perspective, would show the AP and...

Same idea.

I think this leads into expectation bias. Typically, you looked up your route, and hopefully with the help of an EFB, picked a route that seems reasonable. Any changes or deviations will make it difficult for your brain to process and even harder to accept. Same goes with your wife (and mine).

Isn’t it the other way around with the GNX375, i.e. you clear the hold did get out of it otherwise you are in it forever? I think once you build the hold you get in it and the FP is already suspended until you exit the hold, no?

Yes, statistically speaking, they are rare events. But a few things: 1) Just because they are rare, doesn’t make them less newsworthy (invading another country these days is a pretty “rare” event yet it makes news, i could give tons more examples both good and bad. With your logic if aliens...

Rare you say? Explain to me how what you wrote above is *any different* than a mass shooter? And that NEVER happens. I’m not saying it’s suicide, but given some of the early data, it is certainly a real possibility.

Yeah totally. The idea the flight sim data was positive proof of suicide is sheer conjecture. Correlation does not equate to causation.
