No no, the AIM info that you posted is perfectly clear. And the discussion about the differences in Canada in general. I’m just talking about the exact interpretation of the FlightChops video.

haha! Words to live by, yeah? 8-) and yeah, it’s still a little bit ambiguous. But thanks for the links to the Canadian AIM above.

I think in another quick but careful review of the sequence, he's very very close to BOXAN when he "forces" it down. It was simply his statement of "I'm not quite at BOXAN yet and I'm gonna force it down to begin the descent" that flagged it for me. It seems like one of those things where it may...

Thanks for that. Yep, that clarifies/confirms some things for me. My read of the Jepp chart seems “on course”. The differences seem within the range of normal procedures if a bit different than what I consider “normal”. So yeah, just that decision to descend prior to BOXAN. We’ll see if any...

Anyhow, that’s somewhat of a rabbit trail from my original question. I love the minutiae of approaches and plates and TERPS obviously. But good to know that what stuck out to me in the video was not just missing a detail. I’ll see if i get an answer from FlightChops. Hopefully he doesnt think...

Yeah for sure. On that note it does say NA for Cat D… Could you fly at 600’ for 8 miles under a cloud deck? Sure of course. Not a big deal on a practical level really. IN a cloud deck? That would get my attention a little bit more… and I just wouldnt expect an approach to be effectively...

I mean … at 600’ from 8 miles out? Seems a little … aggressive :p

The longer I look at this chart the more odd it becomes. It makes it look like you could legally fly BOXAN to VIKTO at 1,200. Only 80 feet above the MDA (and 600’ agl … :: gulp :: that can’t be right) all the way from 8 miles out) to the MAP and below the glideslope intercept altitude (I know...

Yeah - I wish it was a world where people didn't love to play gotcha with good pilots who make honest mistakes. I'll find a way to DM him directly.

Thanks @RussR. I thought about it but I usually just steer clear of posting to places like YouTube because the viewer group is usually so uninformed that it turns into a typical social media mess, degenerating into an insult war over something simple. Technical forums like this seem more...

Thanks @MauleSkinner - It caught me for a few reasons. One, FlightChops is usually very conscientious about how he presents his errors, but also because there are just some small variations in what and how information is shown on the chart. I'm not used to seeing a VDA listed and most RNAV...

sure, I think I can post an image shortly. You can see it in the video, but it’s a little bit blurry. I don’t have a subscription either, but I think I can get a copy from a friend.

So, obviously there is, but I'm trying to figure out if there is a charting difference for Canadian procedures or if I'm actually just missing something basic that I've forgotten... This comes from a Flightchops video for a circling approach at CZBA (RNAV 32) It's an interesting video for...

Has anyone used (and have a review) of the Garmin e-learning online courses for any of their avionics packages? Currently looking at the G3000 Essentials 2.0 as a way to get ahead of the curve for a future job. And as a general refresher since I'm working with much more basic avionics...

Thanks guys! That confirms a few of my thoughts. Sounds like Sporty’s will give me what i’m looking for at this stage. I expect to have some test specific deficiencies after taking one of the ground school courses - at which point I’ll brush up with something like Sheppard. Thanks again.

I guess Sporty’s revamped their course in 2019. I haven’t seen them mentioned much lately. Any opinions? I’m finding the self-driven, self-organized study model isn’t what I’m best at (i.e. crack open a book and read and take notes until your vision goes fuzzy). Ideally I would take the course...

Ok, I since realized this was already a sticky thread, I’ve deleted and will move any questions I have to that one.

Nice thanks for the info. If the bikes are useable then a six mile ride is easy too. Airport doesn’t look like the layout would be conducive to just pitching a tent under the wing tho. Kinda looks like a standard ramp area and no remote tie downs on grass or anything. Kinda a shame since the...
