liberal snippage throughout I already have my IFR ticket. The knowledge is what I'm after. All I The knowledge you need to fly is not the same as the knowledge you need to pass the test. The King courses are geared to passing the test. You don't need to pass the test. really need is a refresher course, but I'd rather just go through the entire home study course so I don't miss anything. OK, but find a home study course that's not simply geared to answering the silly knowledge test questions. That is without question as the FAR/AIM is required to fly PIC. It's one of the thing I gotta have anyway. Knowledge of the FARs and AIM are required. There is no requirement whatsoever that you posess a written copy. |

whatsoever that you posess a written copy. When did they change that? I was always told by my instructors that I had to actually have a copy of the current FAR's in my possession. The AIM is not required at all, but the catch to that is if I have an accident due to something I overlooked that is discussed in the AIM, the NTSB can fault me for that, but I was always told and I believe I actually read in the FAR's that a current copy of the FAR's must be in the pilot's possession. Of course I was also told that once you reach the DH, you cannot legally descend below the DH unless you have at least the runway environment in sight, but another pilot told me that is a grey area and the reason I was told that is because the instructors want to keep me alive. He said "How long does it take you to make a decision while you are on the glide slope?" Yea, right. I took that with a grain of salt. If I reach the DH and I can't see the lights, I'm going missed. |
