    Practical Difference Between FIKI and Inadvertent Deice

    Are we getting too complicated. If you don't have Fiki you have to get out of inadvertently flying into icing immediately. If you do you have more time to assess the option to stay there or leave. Assessing whether or not a flight will encounter icing accumulating on an airframe isn't an exact...

    IFR Current - Spacial D freakout

    Great post. In my experience you brain somehow adjusts and learns; you just trust your instruments. It gets much easier, but may never completely go; can vary from one flight to another. Doing things.. gradually ...helps. We have evolved to rely on our balance systems over millions of years.

    On request, standby...

    Ok so this is the reply you might get in reply to when you call ATC for ifr clearance (when on the ground prior to taxi etc) The first time I heard it I thought it meant I needed to request it, or that I hadnt requested clearance properly. I still think it is an odd reply from that...
