We visited the East store a while back. My wife needed a new headset so we figured why not just fly over from KBHM. it was a fun experience. Bought a new headset and handheld radio as backup.

Just one follow up: Let's suppose it was night and I was totally unfamiliar with the area. I am about to leave the airport and I am given all the information in my original post. The ODP does take me out of the way of the Direct TABER that was given...but let's suppose I took off and followed...

Thanks. That clears it up. I appreciate it.

I was watching a youtube video of a flight from KBCB to KJZI. The pilot got the clearance to of the following: KBCB to TABER v103 GSO direct, 6000 expect 8000 10 minutes after. They departed on RW 30. The pilot took off and called controlled and was direct TABER. My question is around an...

Nice recovery. Thanks. This was helpful. Can’t be upset with you anymore.

this was very helpful. I actually had forgotten about the avclicks site. Thanks for all, i appreciate the helpful feedback. I think I have a much better understanding now.

Thanks for your helpful comment. Really builds the confidence. I am not struggling with it...i was seeking clarity to understand it for a check ride to make sure I am applying it correctly. When I have been flying as long as you, I hope to provide the same advice to others.

I think is a good point. I have been told this in the past, but just sort of in passing. This hits home.

I am getting ready for a previously discontinued check ride due to weather and need some help regarding lost communications IFR. I have the MEA AVEF in front of me, but for some reason I can't seem to get this down quickly enough in case of a real life scenario to get through it without having...

I definitely see your argument for a revenue plane, but for most general, there can’t be much difference in cost between filling to the tabs vs. half tanks. From my reading, most of these situations are GA pilots not remembering to switch tanks. I guess that is another problem.

Every time I land i fill to the tabs. I really don’t understand why people don’t do this. It is just good practice. I guess maybe if I was on a very short hop it might be different, but it is just a simple thing to do.

Thanks for posting the follow up to your trip. Unbelievable they dropped you - but good thinking.

Will post back once this is done. We had to move it to later August due my schedule. Just gives me more time to study and plan.

This is exactly what happened. They didn't want to start the check ride at all, including the oral, unless we knew for sure we could get it done. So I still have to do the entire thing. Just gave me time for more practice.

When you put it that way, there really isn't any downside.

Unfortunately, weather. Rescheduled. Uggg... hey, just more time to prepare.

Well POA, every since getting my PPL in 2015, this forum has allowed me to read and learn from others. Now it is time for the instrument rating. I am not doing this as a career, but to be a better pilot and allow for some flexibility in flying. Either way, not bad for a guy who use to not...

So based on real world GA flying, I would think the feedback from most is that nearly every time you would have one of the four happen. This may be why when I ask someone about this that has been flying a long time they wonder why I am even asking because they have never had to fly the entire...

Thanks for the help. So, basically, if you are coming from the opposite direction and use a tear drop, or parallel approach to line up, no need to do the addition circuit. If you are coming direct, pretty good chance there is nopt anyway. So is the only time you would fly the hold is either...

POA, I know this question has come up before and I am looking for direction to reference AIM or FAR. I seem to get mixed answers to the questions "if a hold is on the approach plate, do I have to fly the complete circuit once or can I just do and entry and then get lined up?". You all know...
