Seems like a stabilized approach... however, at 5nm out on the ILS 22 (assumption) they should have been at 2100' MSL, rather than ~1000' GPS altitude.

Wow, just wow. You'd think WAAS would be a pretty simple high-payback upgrade.

You're saying this airliner doesn't have WAAS or for some other reason can't fly (or at least follow) an LPV??

I'll also be a beta reader and will now DM you my email. Wayne

I agree that the GTN 650 is a great device... however, I personally find it quite useless (as is the GTN 750 IMHO) for displaying approach plates and altitudes on the map. I turn off the GTN option for plates-on-map... and use the iPad/ForeFlight for much easier reading of approach plates...

30 miles west of KLAS would put it roughly in the valley southwest of Mt. Charleston and south of Pahrump:

On the MFD lower left there is likely a soft button for "Engine". Press and you should get the "full" engine page, ala:

BTW, in the original video of Gryder's about this accident it appears that neither the left or right seat pilots had (or were using) shoulder harnesses. Who these days doesn't upgrade their expensive aircraft with at least a shoulder harness?! Would have almost certainly avoided at least the...

Here's a 4-part video on my solo trip a year and a half ago... California to North Carolina and back:

I believe you're correct... in order for a Student Pilot to log time, there needs to be a CFI by his/her side. On the other hand, I believe that an Instrument Rated and certificated pilot can fly and log approaches/holds for currency on an FAA-approved simulator (AATD or BATD) without being...

I haven't seen any airspeed restrictions, although all my flights within/through the ADIZ have been below 140 KIAS. https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/fs_html/chap5_section_6.html https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/us_restrictions/airspace/

As @luvflyin asks, what filed altitude is important... the MEA over DEWAY is 9500, meaning you'd have to file 11000'.

Interesting... I've watched several hours of video webinars with George Braly as the lead presenter... and always came away with the impression of him as an honest, well-informed, experienced-in-engines kind of guy. Clearly YMMV Wayne

All the things mentioned above. Last month with a couple of buddies, we flew a ~5000 nm trip all around Mexico, largely to places none of us had flown before. I e-flew on X-Plane 12 (on my <US$1000 home simulator) EVERY one of those miles (using "warp speed" for cruise) including approaches...

Wow, we’re on the final stretch of this wonderful flying adventure! Flying day 7 has us departing Puerto Vallarta, with a tech stop in Los Mochis, and then to Puerto Peñasco… followed by our final flying day bringing us home to California. I realize that some viewers are eager for metrics and...

After a scrumptious time in Oaxaca, we’re off today through the mountains and along the Pacific Coast to Puerto Vallarta and the charming surfing village of San Pancho. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

We’re entering the second half of this glorious adventure flying all around Mexico. After 3 nights at the freshwater Laguna Bacalar, today we’re departing Chetumal and heading for the mountains of Oaxaca. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

We’re nearing the midway point in this great adventure flying all around Mexico. Bill, Joe and I enjoyed two nights each in Mérida and Sisal, and today we have a short hop to Chetumal and Laguna Bacalar. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot
