However, they do require additional knowledge for safe operations. Besides the basic system operating procedures, what three items might be considered most important knowledge items regarding autopilot system operations? Scenario ======== A last-minute switch to a slower airplane is unfortunate, but flight planning shows strong tailwinds will almost make up the difference. The time and range should still work—until you level off in cruise and see an ETA an hour further out than you anticipated. Surely that can’t be right. But what is right? 4 November 2025 1H0 Pilot Lounge 1830 CST From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Thu Nov 6 12:16:00 2025 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 06:16:00 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Members] [CE03140147] The Schiff Show - Wake Turbulence A Silent Killer - What You Can Not See Might Hurt You - FAASafety.gov (fwd) Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: 6 Nov 2025 05:19:30 -0600 From: FAASafety.gov -- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- You have asked us to notify you when a webinar is scheduled that meets your criteria.

Aircraft-specific software applications available on the market today can make performing weight and balance calculations much easier and less prone to mistakes. Before using such a software application, what action(s) must the pilot take? Scenario ======== Practice is the stuff of prevention when it comes to avoiding bad outcomes in flying. There is a catch, however: If your practice isn’t fully thought through, it can create exactly the situation you’re trying to prevent. Now you have little more than your reaction time to pick the strategy that separates a survivable ending from disaster. 18 November 2025 1H0 Pilot Lounge 1830 CDT From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Sun Nov 23 14:49:31 2025 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2025 08:49:31 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Members] [EA61140094] Aviation Emergency First Responder Training 2025 - FAASafety.gov (fwd) Message-ID: -- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- You have asked us to notify you when a webinar is scheduled that meets your criteria.
