    Visual Apprach and traffic pattern

    Been flying awhile and have flown a gazillion visual approaches but I flew with a guy today who believes we should enter the traffic pattern at a tower controlled airport after being cleared for the visual. Situation: approaching airport runway from 90 angle. 5 miles out we are cleared by...

    Changing an altitude for IAP in FMS

    Hello, I was flying with a guy who says you can't modify an IAP that is pulled from an FMS. I agree you cant modify the waypoints but he claims you cant modify the altitude. I always change the altitude in the FMS if there is a NOTAM giving a new altitude. He claims the only allowance to...

    Why oxygen duration would increase w/altitude?

    Delay Gear Extension in icing?

    I flew with a guy who insists that you should wait to extend the landing gear while in icing conditions. He said the brakes could not work if you leave the gear down in icing. Being a former frieght dog I was surprised I had never heard of this. What say you guys?

    Are you using the FMS-3000 .../Q or /L

    Thanks for the replies. I made a mistake in the original posting: I meant to say /Q (GPS) or /W (RNP). Our AFM says RNP-10. Some guys think that means we can file /W.

    Are you using the FMS-3000 .../Q or /L

    Dual FMS-3000's installed. A big debate at my company about what to file. We are probably stupid but everyone gets wrapped up around the axle when it comes to the term "Required Navigation Performance for the route, ect, ect" . We have looked in our navigation capabiliites section but once...

    Engine failure on takeoff and between V2 and Vyse

    Thanks, it is a SA-227. I was curious what the norm was for diffierent airframes/operators. In my company there are two schools of thought: 1st school - If above Vyse then pitch to slow to Vyse. If below Vyse then pitch for V2. 2nd - always pitch to V2.

    Engine failure on takeoff and between V2 and Vyse

    Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Engine failure occurs on takeoff and your airspeed is between V2 and Vyse. Lets call V2 115 and Vyse 135. Your speed when the engine fails is 125. Do you: 1. Pitch to V2 and maintain until 500ft (is how plane was certified) 2. Maintain 125 until 500ft...

    How many aircraft can operate SVFR at a time?

    The guy I bet claims the "traffic permitting" in the AIM does not apply to multiple SVFR, just IFR and 1 SVFR. Thanks!
