The following webinar may be of interest to you: "The Schiff Show - The Voices in Your Head(set) Demystifying ATC" Topic: What Does Air Traffic Control Really Need Pilots to Know—and What Do Pilots Wish Controllers Understood Better? On Thursday, October 8, 2026 at 19:00 Central Daylight Time (17:00 PDT; 18:00 MDT; 20:00 EDT; 14:00 HST; 16:00 AKDT; 17:00 Arizona; Friday, October 9, 2026 00:00 GMT) Select Number: CE03146838 Description: On the next episode of THE SCHIFF SHOW, host Brian Schiff welcomes air traffic controller Marcus Miller (#PropHatCat) for a fast-moving, practical question-and-answer conversation from both sides of the frequency. In a candid PILOT-to-CONTROLLER back-and-forth, they will tackle real-world communication, expectations, procedures, workload, weather deviations, sequencing, missed approaches, emergencies, en route communications, and the small decisions that can make every flight safer and smoother. No jargon for jargon’s sake—just direct questions, clear answers, and useful insight for pilots who want to become easier to work with on the radio and better prepared for what happens behind the scope. This presentation is 90 minutes long to allow sufficient time to adequately cover this important topic.

When may you descend below 3,000? Scenario ======== It's been a simple IFR flight on a VMC morning. Now you're approaching a destination that's frustratingly hard to pick out given the suburban landscape and the just risen sun in your eyes. The distance is ticking down, ATC is getting impatient, and the nearby Class B limits your options to maneuver. 6 October 2026 1H0 Pilot Loungs 1830 CDT From members at stlaviationmeetup.org Wed Oct 7 16:31:16 2026 From: members at stlaviationmeetup.org (St. Louis Aviation Meetup Members List) Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 11:31:16 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [Members] [EA61146917] A Mechanics Perspective on Protecting and Preserving You and Your Aircraft - FAASafety.gov (fwd) Message-ID: -- FAASafety.gov -------------------------------------------------------- You have asked us to notify you when a webinar is scheduled that meets your criteria.

The jet touches down beyond the runway numbers and rolls long. You are high enough to land before its touchdown point, but there is a light crosswind from left to right. Where is the wake likely to go, and what should you do if spacing is uncomfortable? Scenario ======== Everyone has their recipe for a perfect landing, and the mix of ingredients vary from plane to plane. The instructor recommendations are usually the best starting point when you're checking out on a new model. What will you do when the CFI's recommendations don't make sense, but you still need that signoff to fly your new airplane? 20 October 2026 1H0 Pilot Lounge 1830 CDT
