Because these are printed on paper and released about six months in advance, they are certain to be older than the year printed on their front cover. Even electronic applications that provide the FAR/AIM may even be slightly older than their last update time stamp. The following FAA web site provides the most current AIM for free! https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/ However, the web site, under the "Manuals" header, provides four PDF files for the AIM to download. Which PDF file or files should you download to have a complete up-to-date AIM? (Hint: It will be necessary to examine the first few pages of each of the 4 PDF files to determine your answer.) If you decide that you need to use more than one PDF file to have the complete current AIM at your finger tips, how do you use the PDF files together as a group? (There is more than one correct answer for both parts of this question!) ====================== Next, during a scenario sponsored to us from Bold Method, we will make a summer afternoon flight in a Cesnna 172 from KHTS to KIMS. And you don't want to mis your son's graduation party, yet there are scattered thunderstorms in the area. Will you be able to come up with a safe game plan? ====================== Nest will be a short Bold Method quiz related to the scenario. ====================== Finally - Bonus Q of month: You're cruising at 8,500' in VMC and, on your WAAS GNS 530 moving map screen, you see blue cross hatching on a portion of your screen as shown below. What does this blue cross hatching mean? https://photos.app.goo.gl/m6scCugdNFivevRe8 From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Tue Oct 6 00:21:34 2020 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2020 19:21:34 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Members] Tuesday 5 October (update) Message-ID: Link: https://nyx.omnitec.net/StLAviationMeetup Password: FlyHigh Time: 1830 Local [CDT] Our Tuesday Jitsi meeting will feature a question of the month and a Bold Method scenario: For many years, pilots have purchased the paper edition of the FAR/AIM.

Here is a link to the meeting: Wednesday 4 November 1830 CST https://zoom.us/j/93826630834?pwd=R3lLMlYxdmtYVk5PcWZPdWFsSG1Vdz09 Password: FlyHigh First topic will be the Question of the Month: On the low enroute chart, let'slook at the POM VOR. It includes the note, "MTA V264 E TO V197 NW 11800." What is the meaning of "MTA"? How does it affect our flight over this VOR? Next will be an IFR scenario: After weaving around cells all morning, its time to call it a day. ATC turns you toward the approach for the nearest airportand right into a cell that was not where it showed on your NEXRAD display. Will you do an about face to get out of it, or just cross over to the other side?
