Reminders & Insights

Flying

⦁ Hand fly approaches to keep sharp

⦁ Can't intercept the GS from above it

⦁ When air is turbulent, fly above MDA to give you a buffer

⦁ Do not bank more than standard rate

⦁ Remember compass errors ANDS NOSE UNOS

⦁ Use BRG1/BRG2

⦁ VFR on top when pilot requests...Uses magnetic course

⦁ When using Visual Approaches...Stay clear of clouds per AIM 5-5-11

⦁ Keep resetting the heading bug to be on top even when on NAV mode

⦁ Part 121 can't even start an approach if weather is reported below minimums...consider that in Part 91 operations

Working with ATC

⦁ Too busy trying to figure out where the waypoint is? "Can I get an initial vector?"

⦁ Request full approach using the hold if needing more time

⦁ Request descent to Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA)

⦁ Request a Cruise Clearance...Example "N123AB Cruise 8000" = Stay between MEA to 8000

⦁ Do not ask the tower for approach if you were not talking to ATC but you can still tune & twist ILS

⦁ Information vs instruction

⦁ Cleared and Established = you have clearance to follow approach altitudes

⦁ No radar coverage, no vectors

⦁ GPS MEA should include ATC coverage

⦁ R for FSS is frequency they receive on

⦁ Expect PTAC (Position Turn Altitude Clearance)

⦁ "Expect" -> Load approach dot not activate

⦁ Canceling IFR -> 1200
