Except this stuff may appear on his written, this includes all the relevant regs. Plus it is educational to know how little is required.

All the important docs that Paul mentioned, for example you could be asked (I was asked) during the oral what is the minimum required equipment for the IFR flight and you should know it is in Part 91.205. You really must be familiar with all part 61/91 related to IFR. I was also advised to...

It is the opposite, on the crest it would feel relatively flat, I am with Dave, he touched down too long or too fast or both. Also pilots routinely land there on the uphill portion. You need french pilot mountain authorization to go there or you can have site specific authorization.

Hi did have a chance if there was no ice, DC-3, King Airs routinely land there. You land 'uphill' (18% slope there) so it helps with stopping. At least it looks like there was some ice or some additional piloting mistakes were made.

Camera different view:

Took place today in rather famous Curchevel airport, France. 5 residents of Paris decided to travel for a bit of skiing... https://www.instagram.com/p/BtoMhSMjIY_/

Important point, there is absolutely no way considering workload you go through during MA to start drawing or use some app to figure out entry. You must learn to quickly visualize it, in a few seconds. This can be learned sitting on a sofa, I had problems with other things during my instrument...

Yes, many times during my IFR training (just completed), for example ILS 29 at Stockton. I hope you are training on fairly modern aircraft with HSI/RNAV equipment - the G1000 was showing me how to enter every hold, super easy. If you are flying on some old aircraft and want to execute holds...

Correct and this brings me to another question - G1000 (that I use) has no easy way to just change the IAF (keep the loaded approach but just replace the IAF). If you guessed incorrectly and loaded the wrong transition you now have to reload the whole approach (including BARO min), seems like...

BATD also works for currency and they are much more common in smaller flight schools.

Not sure what you mean by that. I just completed IFR training in G1000 aircraft and NEVER loaded an approach as "vectors to final" transition. Apparently it is no longer a recommended procedure to load it this way. You pick a transition that best agrees with your route of flight and this is what...

Did you guy notice that SkewTLogPro stopped working very recently, it gives you error message that weather data is not loading ... I just found out it is due to government shutdown - certain weather data that SkewTLogPro needs is no longer available from NOAA.

Thank you guys. I appreciate. He surprised me during the oral portion by questions I never saw before like: 1. How soon do you have to put IFR goggles to be able to log the practice approach for currency? 2. If you have full scale CDI deflection during such practice approach - can you log it? 3...

I just passed my IFR checkride today, out of KHWD, great weather (no gale winds as on Monday). By the way I was convinced I did not pass, made many small errors, I guess none of the errors were disqualifying, I think I was lucky to find a very tolerant DPE. (My DPE commutes to airport by bike...

I have this Casio Gravity Master aviator watch. Solar powered, GPS, atomic, automatically adjusts to DST, etc. Accurate all the time within 1 sec. I land in a new time zone and the watch will adjust. I have the zulu time set on the smaller dial. Wear it and forget it type of watch, absolutely...

Pilots lose their cool, panic sets in, so level of ‘competency’ may go out the window. Remember anyone this recent (12/2015) accident in Piper Lance in which the family of 5 perished outside of Bakersfield, CA. He lasted just about 3 mins after entering clouds. He had 270 hrs, 3 hrs under the...

I use Garmin G1000 PC Trainer - it is a great procedural simulator and helps you sharpen your G1000 skills at home on your PC. However anytime I use it I marvel why no one added a real aircraft feel to this setup, why wouldn't it 'fly' as say Cirrus or any other aircraft that is G1000 capable...

Worth it?. Only you and your pocket book can be a judge of it. I suggest you start flying first (I understand at the moment you are a wannabe pilot) - your point of view may change radically after you get your license. I fly behind the G1000 panel and it is a wonderful tool that could make you a...

I updated to iOS12 on my Ipad Mini 4 and I don't see any issues with FF, but I use it strictly as an EFB, not using it for navigation.

It is $86 per my last subscription renewal. I stick to what I said - per all the features that I get it’s a bargain. Of course I could get by with FltPlan but here I get a bit of “luxury”, intuitiveness and the flavor of touch & feel that I like, for you maybe waste of money for me is $ very...
