QotM
====

Youre being vectored for a localizer approach, have been given a vector to
intercept the final approach course outside the final approach fix, and
are cleared for the approach. The approach plate identifies no feeder
routes, and specifies NoPT. A hold is depicted at the FAF with a notation
of 4 NM. At what point can you begin a descent to the published altitudes?


Scenario
========

A delightful night flight home turns into a surprise missed approach only
seconds from landing. Now back above the unforecastand widespreadfog,
youre fat on fuel but short on options with the clock already passing
midnight. Youll have to balance between longer time in the air and making
the next landing attempt a sure thing.

QotM
====

Before an early morning flight, when the overnight air temperature has
been below freezing, no water is found in the fuel during the preflight
inspection. After landing some hours later after a flight in clear, sunny,
VFR conditions, with air temperature now in the 50s, a check of the fuel
finds it is contaminated with water. Where did the water likely come from?
Why did the pilot miss the contamination on the early morning preflight?


Scenario
========

Its just a short hop in a plane youve logged hundreds of hours flying.
However, its not until rotation that you realize how poorly the airplane
is performing. Now theres not enough runway to put it back down, but
barely enough climb to keep it in the air. Where will you go?

Protecting Your Pilot Certificate
Notice Number: NOTC3456

The FAA and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) discuss protecting your pilot certificate in the new WINGS-credit course ALC-1093, Cost Sharing, Time Building, and Posting on Social Media.
The first chapter of the course covers important information that pilots and aircraft owners need to know and understand regarding flying passengers and property safely and legally.
The second chapter is about time building, which is not as intuitive as cost sharing and pertains to flying to build time and experience. It explores topics like whether you can fly your airplane and be reimbursed by your company.
The third chapter covers important information that pilots and aircraft owners need to know and understand when it comes to posting on social media, holding out for compensation or hire, and what may be used as evidence should safety regulations be compromised.
Take the course at https://bit.ly/alc-1093 and get WINGS pilot proficiency credit! Make sure to leave us feedback after taking the exam.
