Why does KJAX have this approach? What is the meaning of the dotted line on this approach? Scenario ======== We had several sessions talking about departure procedures and ODPs. The airport from which we will depart will put that knowledge to the test. Did we really cover all the important elements of IFR Departures? 1830 CDT 1H0 Pilot Lounge From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Wed Oct 6 13:40:20 2021 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2021 08:40:20 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Members] ntap Message-ID: Here is a link to the ntap system mentioned at the meeting: https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/domesticnotices/ From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Mon Oct 18 12:44:07 2021 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2021 07:44:07 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Members] Tuesday 19 October 2011 Message-ID: QotM ==== There is a solid magenta circle around KJES. What is the meaning of this solid magenta line? What is this airspace? Scenario ======== On a beautiful low wind VFR day, you're picking up supplies from a nearby airport to bring back to your home base airport. You're surprised on short final and successfully go around, can you figure out what happened and will you be able to plan a safe landing? Did you calculate your weight and balance correctly? Do you understand the impact of use of flaps? Or, is there an undiscovered issue with the surrounding terrain around your home base airport? 1830 1H0 Pilot Lounge From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Mon Oct 25 20:18:30 2021 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2021 15:18:30 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Members] 2021 Midwest Aviation Safety Seminar Message-ID: After a few years hiatus, .. looks like one is scheduled in a few weeks: https://www.faasafety.gov/SPANS/event_details.aspx?eid=108626 Speaker(s): Randall Ottinger, Erik Bratton, Fred Harms, Stan Rose, Phil Dixon, Bill Hopper Enjoy!

The "2800" with the lightning bolt is underlined. Then the "2500" at the FAF is underlined, but it is asterisked to LOC only. Are ALL the underlined altitudes hard minimums? Let's say you either manually or on autopilot start "sliding down" the GS and happen to cross the GS intercept fix 50 feet low. It is still well within GS specs -- probably within half a dot -- but slightly below the underlined altitude. Is it legal? Scenario ======== You understand that single-engine flight in the clouds requires some tolerance of risk. You only have one engine, one vacuum pump, and one alternator. That last liability is why you have some handheld navigation. So after a complete electrical failure in IMC, what combination of the iPad GPS and handheld NAV/COM will get you on the ground? 1830CDT 1H0 Pilot Lounge
