I've said it two different times in two different ways. Not until you are established inbound. The only thing else I know to do is draw a picture, but I have to warn you my artwork is worse than my prose. Fortunately Jeppesen already has one.

Either you didn't carefully read what I wrote or my rural Oklahoma education prevented me from communicating it well. I said you can't descend below 3000 until you're established inbound which is what the procedure prescribes. I didn't say you can't descend below 3000 until you're at the FAF...

As I understood it the question or assertion was not can you do a ratetrack pattern for a procedure turn but whether or not you can use the depicted missed approach hold as a "template" for your procedure turn. In my mind this raises two questions. The first question is it legal? If you are...

That's not what AIM 5-4-9 says. It does specifically say, "A procedure turn is the maneuver prescribed when it is necessary to reverse direction to establish the aircraft inbound on an intermediate or final approach course." Furthermore I'm not sure why you'd even want to roll your own...

Except you'd be in quasi-legal territory at best. A PT or hold-in-lieu of PT is a course reversal maneuver. If you are not doing it for that purpose I don't think you'd have a good answer to the FAA's, "Captain, what were you thinking?" question.

The problem is that holding pattern is for the missed approach, not any inbound segment. You can't use it for a hold-in-lieu of PT.

Not in a category C aircraft on rwy 19 as you'd have to exceed 1,000fpm, which isn't reasonable.

400' per NM from the FAF to TCH is the limit for a straight in approach. That's why it's a VOR-A. My guess is the way they intend for you to fly this approach to land on rwy 19 is after the FAF fly at or above the circling minimums and remain there until you are in a position to land while...

I think RFC Dallas got a Cirrus fairly recently although they don't mention it on their website which doesn't look to have been updated in a couple of years. I remember seeing it in the shade port area at Addison where they park their planes and one of their members mentioned it would soon be...

No hotdogs doing stupid **** in the pattern.

I've flown my NA 182 to Leadville several times. I've also been into Aspen, which is even more challenging coming from the SE. Getting out of Aspen I had to circle over the town for about 15 minutes before I had enough altitude to head south. If I flew in and out of those airports regularly...

My suggestion is get an iPad and ForeFlight:D. There will still be a basic VOR network in the US long after I’m gone. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/techops/navservices/transition_programs/vormon/

I would care more about mission capability and wouldn’t think twice about where it was made. If money was no object I’d probably get a Global.

You don't necessarily need 1500 hours or an ATP to fly SIC. I've known a lot of low time guys doing SIC work in jets. Part 91 operations are going to have even less requirements. The only basic requirement is a commercial multi ticket and 3 take offs and landings in the plane depending on...

You can do practice approaches on an IFR flight plan, but make sure ATC is down with what you are doing. Sometimes in busy airspace they may not be able to accommodate everything you want to do.

The Red Barn used to be cash only. Not sure if this is still the case.

The rule is no smoking 8 hours prior to flight and no alcohol within 50’ of the aircraft.

Many if not most jets will have an IRS(s) that use multiple sources besides GPS including Lasertrack, and VOR/DME. The reason being worldwide positional accuracy is important and SBAS isn’t available everywhere. There’s a priority matrix that uses the most accurate source and falls back to...

Not really a hamburger, but there’s a fantastic dairy/cheese shop just outside of Dublin. There’s also the Dublin Bottling Works that is worth checking out. They have a crew car at 9F0, but the only fuel available is Swift, which you can use if you have the auto fuel STC. You can also access via...
