Why is a standard hold right turns? by Roy Smith
It has always struck me odd that a standard landing pattern is left turns and a standard hold is right turns. Having a left patterns for landing makes a bit of sense, since the pilot is on the left side of the cockpit and has a better view of the runway making left turns. But, for IFR holds,...

When does IFR begin in VFR? by Wizard of Draws
I took a short XC today after a layoff of a few months due to real life constraints and weather. I filed IFR even though it was VFR because I wanted to get back into the groove of communicating with ATC. I filed for 5000 going east. On the ground, they told me it would be faster if I took off VFR...

GPS approaches with Center by Dan Luke
How many here have flown GPS approaches with Center as the approach control? I'd be interested to hear your experiences. I needed to fly one yesterday to get into Greenville, AL and the ZTL controller sounded really befuddled about quite how to handle it. Because of another recent experience, I...

Is an IPC a substitute for 6 approaches? by Ben Jackson
The way I read 61.57(d) (the requirement for an IPC), it's just an extra requirement that kicks in under certain circumstances. It's not a subpart of 61.57(c) (6 approaches etc in 6 months), and (c) does not have any exceptions related to (d). So if an IPC is essentially a checkride, it could be...

Glaze Ice by brian whatcott
I did an Oxford instrument ground school long ago. One of the weather topics was glaze ice. This was described as extremely dangerous, in that supercooled rain could impact and flow to a glassy ice layer over the wing in seconds, which tended to pull the aircraft down pronto. In the last three...

Most Challenging Instrument Approaches in Western US? by Angus Davis
I am curious to hear this group's thoughts on the most challenging instrument approaches in the Western US. Perhaps this not the best way to phrase the question, because I am planning a trip with a fellow instrument student and our instructor around the Western US this winter, similar to those...

Requirement to fly departure procedures by [email protected]
I was always under the assumption that if my atc clearance received on the ground was direct to a fix, I was free to forgo the departure procedure and do an immediate turn after takeoff. I note that FAR 91.129, Operations in class D airspace states that: "(g) Departures. No person may operate an...

Weekend IFR ground school with Aviation Seminars by Brad Z
Good write up. Although I've always studied for my written tests the old fashion way, I've always been curious of how the weekend "cram" sessions work out for folks. By the way, was that 8:00 PM that you took the test, or the 8:00am the next morning? Either way, it sounds like some really...

Instrument Approaches and procedure turns.... by Cecil E. Chapman
I'm reviewing the approach plates for my Instrument lesson this coming Thursday (which I just realized is September 11, of all things..). I've found it useful to 'practice' approaches using OnTop flight sim before my lessons, seems to give me more 'bang for the buck'. Anyway (I'm sorry, in...

IMC without an autopilot by Jon Kraus
Just curious as to opinions about flying in IMC without an autopilot? Does an autopilot make flying in the clouds safer or is it just a crutch for the lazy? For myself being new to IFR flying I feel safer knowing that if needed I could turn the autopilot on. Maybe it is a false sense of...
