⦁ 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 bearing needles (BRG1/BRG2) for situational awareness (SA)
⦁ VFR on top when pilot requests...Uses magnetic course
⦁ 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
⦁ OBS mode = turns airport or GPS waypoints into quasi VOR
400 feet AGL rule:
AIM 5-2-9 (e)(1)
Unless specified otherwise, required obstacle clearance for all departures, including diverse, is based on the pilot crossing the departure end of the runway at least 35 feet above the departure end of runway elevation, climbing to 400 feet above the departure end of runway elevation before making the initial turn, and maintaining a minimum climb gradient of 200 feet per nautical mile (FPNM), unless required to level off by a crossing restriction, until the minimum IFR altitude. A greater climb gradient may be specified in the DP to clear obstacles or to achieve an ATC crossing restriction.
