I'd be inclined to say "ten miles north, inbound runway two-seven". Operators in the boonies in Ontario like to say as little as possible, as fast as possible. "Sandy papa alpha bravo ten south two seven in eight." If you're not actively listening to the radio you're gonna miss one or two details of...

I think it's obvious that you should tell whoever you're talking to who you are! So when you make a radio call in uncontrolled airspace, tell them 1) your 3D position (bearing and distance from a known point plus your altitude), and 2) your intentions. That's it. 3D position and intentions. And keep...

Atlas... how did you do on the interview? How many hours TT did you have on your application?

Lots of the approaches up north don't work with the stabalized constant desent criteria on the new plates. I only meant to show where their position and heading was confirm as opposed to projected. If I may............ what design criteria do you base that statement on. TP 308... Just like every ap...

So are you admitting to breaking the CARs?

So no need for the 6/6/6, even if you do 24 month PPCs. I don't believe that's correct. When you do an IFR PPC, that is considered renewal of your IFR rating, however, that's the extent of their relationship. Your IFR is valid for 24 months and the 6/6/6 always applies (after 12 months as indicated...

And nobody has pointed out that this forecast was based on AUTO OBS.... ?

Sure, be skeptical of everything. Look at all the weather products and make sure they add up. But this title is a little misleading... it should say "be very careful when using a TAF based on AUTO OBS.

Also, how often have pilots ended up covered in ice where their de-ice equipment hasn't been able to catch up and then had a GP or LOC fai...

Well said BPF and Trematode.

Not saying one shouldn't be ready for all possibilities, but wouldn't simply going missed incur the least amount of risk?

That's pretty much it.

It seems to be the standard in flight training to teach pilots, when flying an ILS approach, to brief the timing to the MAP so that in the event that the GP or LOC fails, the pilot will transition to the LOC or NDB approach and use the timing as applicable. I don't think this is a good idea for a nu...

This pilot also seems to think he did nothing wrong.

Yes, I agree with your interpretation of what is written. think deciding whether, in the second case, the ADF is primary and the GPS secondary, or vice versa, is too much hair-splitting even for me. I know what I read in the AIM though! You can still kill yourself by following all the rules! The sma...

initial missed approach is a specified track direct to a VOR or NDB, then you had better be using a VOR receiver or an ADF to fly the missed approach. Not the GPS. I'll admit I wasn't fully clear but yes, you can use GPS for your primary navigation, however, as you indicated in 16/08, you must moni...

To add to it: what CAR 602.127 is saying is that you can't make up your own approach—you must follow the instrument approach procedure in the CAP which is created following the rules in the TP 308 document. Example: you can't OBS a 004 course on the ZWW NDB at CYWG and then fly down to your own mini...

What is permitted in the US is explicitly forbidden in Canada.

In this case, it is specifically approved by Transport Canada.

http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/s ... t-3970.htm

In Canada we use the American TSO-C129a document.

There is no CAR that says you can't fly a non-overlay missed approach using a GPS. I think that's a highly debatable assertion. 602.127 says an approach has to be made in accordance with an instrument approach procedure, and 101.01 says that an instrument approach procedure is what's published in t...

Could always be wrong, but I believe US LPv's are right down at 200 feet. Yes, the US and Canada are capable of LPVs to 200'. Canada doesn't have any LPVs down to 200' yet as this was recently added to the Canadian Instrument Procedure design manual (TP 308) about a year ago. They should be coming ...

What does AvCanada think about this?

You're saying TEMPO will happen. So VFR will happen at your alternate at the appropriate time. That's not what I'm saying. CYWG 150618Z 18010KT 1SM BR VV001 TEMPO 0812Z P6SM OVC010 Let's say the alternate ETA is 10z. If I asked what the available weather information said for 10z, what would you tel...

Haha nope. Where did I say that you only need to look at TEMPO to determine the minima? The CAR and CAP that I mentioned clearly states what is required. Where would you get the idea that the main forecast conditions could be ignored when determining what weather would be present at a particular tim...

#1, Can you get to a back-up aerodrome with the fuel onboard? (including your 45 minutes?) [SKC] I want to add something to this. You should always make sure you have enough fuel to make it to a back-up aerodrome, even VMC/VFR. I had a training captain tell me of an experience where he flew to an a...

I'm not sure why everyone is making this so complicated. TC CAR 602.123 states: "No pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall include an alternate aerodrome in an IFR flight plan or IFR flight itinerary unless available weather information indicates that the ceiling and visibility at the alternate aerod...
