As you slow the aircraft from cruise to approach speed, the magnetic compass indicates a turn to the south. Are you actually turning, or is something else going on? Scenario ======== The immediate emergency is over - or is it? There's nothing to indicate the problem persists and it would be far more convenient, even arguably safer, to keep going. However, a recurrence of the fire later could be much worse than dealing with options than you have right now. 6 January 2026 1H0 Pilot Lounge 1830 CST From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Tue Jan 6 19:37:41 2026 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 13:37:41 -0600 (CST) Subject: [Members] [CE03140971] The Schiff Show - When Confidence Outpaces Preparation - Stepping Up Your Mental Game - FAASafety.gov (fwd) Message-ID: -- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- You have asked us to notify you when a webinar is scheduled that meets your criteria.

What should you do if it appears the vector may take you into IMC? When can you test your ELT? Scenario ======== Flight following is the best way to get an extra set of eyes for traffic and keep in touch with ATC inside busy airspace. That’s why you planned your trip to use this valuable tool. So what’s your next move when ATC decides to cut you loose just when you need Flight Following the most? 20 January 2026 1H0 1830 CDT
