Yes, I do this all the time on the southeast side. We take the DODJE or YEAGR from CQY quite a bit under VFR for training purposes. When we're inbound, I tell them "N1234 is inbound to Executive/Mesquite/Grand Prairie/etc. We'll be following the DODJE5 on the way in." It's never been a problem...

The official answer is what you would really do.

Sounds like just another thing I would have the pleasure of disabling during training.

The guy actually takes the time to briefly address the reasons for the closure and "next steps" for his students. He appears to have talked to neighboring flight schools and notified them that he is closing. This is someone who's actually taking care of his students, unlike unscrupulous school...

You can do both, however, the GPS will likely be providing course information in its "approach" mode if you use the first method you described. The second method would have the GPS remain in "en-route" mode, providing less sensitivity to course deviations. This assumes you care about using the...

I don't agree with that change. I would stick to the standard phraseology, emphasizing the words "right" or "left" in the readback if you want to achieve the same effect. There's a chance you will say "Runway 10R, north parallel," or a similar incorrect readback, which will only lend to more...

Do you mean the Comair CRJ crash in Lexington?

I am flying an aircraft with an O-540 and a McCauley prop. The prop has about 200 hours on it, but the engine is nearing TBO. I came across a potential issue with the prop that I have not seen discussed much and am looking for input on whether this is an actual issue. When checking constant...

There are so many considerations to take into account before this question can be answered. Here are some of the factors that I discuss with prospective students: - Recency of experience flying airplanes - Type of airplane being used for IFR training - Willingness to study IFH, IPH, AIM, 14...

I agree.

Whoops, thanks.

Are you sure this is correct? Denton (DTO) has an FDC NOTAM out for its RNAV Runway 36 approach. The current approach chart version is AMDT 2B. The MDA/DA, visibility, and VDP have been modified to account for construction taking place on both sides of the airport. !FDC 7/1347 DTO IAP DENTON...

Nothing changed. I have not cited anything related to cold calls. If you're approaching a Class B primary airport and have been cleared into the Class B by the approach control, you do not need to make two-way contact with the Class B tower prior to entering the surface area of the Class B...

They have a radar display and can see you coming in, but Regional Approach does not call them ahead of time to advise them that.

Read the TFRs. Entry is permitted for operational purposes when in communication with ATC. No clearance is required, and as you note, ATC is not usually aware of these.

First, I'm not really sure what the vitriol is all about. This is an issue that can get you in hot water with the FAA. I'm taking time out of my day to provide you with citations where you can go and find out more information. There are three different protocols for Class B, Class C, and Class...

This certainly caught me by surprise. Yikes.

' Technically they just gave you a frequency change. A handoff is a radar procedure that results in a continuation of providing radar service to an aircraft. However the AIM states "Radar service is automatically terminated and the aircraft need not be advised of termination when an arriving VFR...

I had a great CFII based out of FNT who took me into my first actual IMC experience during IFR training. It was a wider array of stratus clouds with moderate precipitation and turbulence. It was a great learning experience. I'm working with 8 instrument students now and am hoping some overcast...

Double Eagle Tower can't handle a flight following handoff from Albuquerque Center because that procedure doesn't exist. What you are describing here is a failure of PIC responsibility. It is the PIC's responsibility to terminate radar flight following and contact the tower prior to entering...
