All the videos looks like airplanes or helicopters to me and they are not trying to hide anything.

In the logbook, open the entry and where it lists the approach, slide your finger right to left and then tap the red delete choice.

The source is in CFR 14 91.175(c)(3)(i) which specifies the TDZE as the reference. Back in 2013, the FAA had removed TDZE from about 3000 approach plates and replaced it with the ICAO THRE which is the Threshold Elevation. This was done as part of an ICAO harmonization push by the FAA. I pointed...

Seems like there are several "get out of jail" permissions including staying below the airspace or "AND/OR UNLESS AUTH BY ATC".

My guess is that ELLVR feeds into a STAR transition used in the HOU area. I checked and it seems that ELLVR.SNDAY1 is used as an arrival transition. There may be others?

ELLVR transition is for the Jets, but it continues beyond ELLVN to College Station CSN, which is used for piston to the HOU area, so JPOOL7.ELLVR is the same as JPOOL.CSN lite. :). I doubt that ERAM is adapted to block piston aircraft from filing JPOOL7.ELLVR, in spite of the note.

You missed step 1, which was to turn off the iPad BT.

Go through the steps involved, it takes much longer than you indicate because you can't connect more than one device at a time. Do it, then report back how I can improve the sequence. Edit, I am not lazy, but I am forgetful. I have an iPad Mini 5 mounted on the yoke that auto connects to my...

Which altimeter reads higher? One with a leak will read higher. Both altimeters are likely to be connected to the same static source, so there may be an issue in one of the indicators. You should have an avionics shop test the altimeters and static system.

Runway 36 has a true heading shown as 360 in NASR data. The magnetic course for the runway is based on the 1990 variation of 1 W. The VOR radial 330 is based on the 1965 magnetic variation of 2 E. The current magnetic variation in 2020 is about 4 W. The <= 30 degree alignment criteria is met...

If the pilot receiving the dual can act as PIC for the flight, the flight instructor doesn't need Basic Med or a medical certificate.

We had an RCO for many years that used a leased telephone line to relay the VHF communications to CLT TRACON. The leased line was both expensive and failure prone and out of service often. last year a GCO was installed and the RCO was removed from the AFD. The GCO uses a dial up line, so VHF...

The color graph is on the right and brown/magenta is good LPV service (like 100% availability or 1.0). As the availability drops, the color changes to orange around 95% availability, to a teal color around 90%, and to blue at 85%. White is off the chart. There are 1440 minutes in a day, so each...

Alaska and most of Canada LPV service has been disrupted by solar activity over the past week. The sequence of first seeing amber LPV annunciation indicating that LPV service is not available ending in a downgrade to LNAV when one minute out from the FAF is the way this presents itself on WAAS...

I don't file many VFR flight plans, but almost always file IFR for cross country. I don't use FF in the air most of the time, but will monitor the local TRACON frequency for local flights. When pilots file VFR flight plans, I see many don't ever activate the flight plan and pilots don't...

FSS is no longer in the business of providing clearances via the phone. FSS will handle relay of a clearance from ATC if it is received over the radio. A GCO may not work because although it is radio, it places a telephone call to FSS. All this is part of the most recent FAA/Leidos contract and...

The current DP order says that MEA should not be based on ATC, but only based on legitimate MEA requirements. IOW, MEA means what it means and can't be redefined by ATC. From 8260.46J 2-1-1(d.)(2): Departure Procedure (DP) Guidelines, d. constraints. The following charting constraints apply...

If you had filed a VFR or DVFR flight plan, you would have been assigned a transponder code by FSS. This is a default transponder code unless ATC issues you a different one.

If you are departing from US and returning to US after entering an ADIZ, you close out your flight plan with FSS. A "completion notice" is synonymous with "closing the flight plan". Any VFR flight plan that enters or crosses an ADIZ is considered as a DVFR flight plan and you have to obtain a...
