Scenario ======== The conventional wisdom for many pilots flying ILS approaches was to simply convert to a localizer-only approach if the glideslope didn't behave as expected. Is there an equivalent for an RNAV LPV? And if so, how much time is enough to change the plan on an approach in actual conditions? 3 February 2026 1H0 Pilot Lounge 1830 CST From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Wed Feb 4 03:19:03 2026 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 21:19:03 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Members] [CE03141500] The Schiff Show - Weather or Not?

The following webinar may be of interest to you: "The Space Shuttle Columbia Crew Survival Investigation" Topic: Learn How These Events Correlate with Aviation Safety and Our Mindset On Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 18:00 Eastern Standard Time (15:00 PST; 16:00 MST; 17:00 CST; 13:00 HST; 14:00 AKST; 16:00 Arizona; 23:00 GMT) Select Number: EA61141646 Description: This presentation is a National offering that examines what happened to the crew and the crew module of Columbia during entry. It does not address the cause of the accident. That was more than adequately addressed by the Columbia Accident Investigation Board, formed on the day of the accident as a Presidential Commission. It will examine the five events that occurred post de-orbit burn that had lethal potential. By evaluating each event in turn, a picture of crew survivability for future accidents can be painted. Of course, the Columbia crew experienced all five events from which there was no hope of survival. We learn how to correlate these events into our own general aviation safety mindset. Join Dr. Nigel Packham as he digs into the details over a two hour presentation. This is an event that is not to be missed!

For example, you’re renting a Cessna 172 that has been modified with a 180-hp engine, or perhaps to use automotive fuel. What, if any, additional documentation is needed to document that the aircraft is airworthy? Scenario ======== It really seemed like a sound plan at departure. Now you're hemmed in by clouds above and terrain to all sides. To make matters worse, your weather sources are in complete disagreement as to which airport offers the best chance of finding safe ground before running into a thunderstorm or a hillside. 17 February 2026 1H0 Pilot Lounge 1830 CST
