Thanks Kevin, I didn’t know that. I thought those altitude restrictions were a must. Would a pilot ever expect ATC to climb them before hitting RUIZE even though there flight plan was approved for 17,000? I other words, hey 123AB, climb to meet the 21 23 restriction? That can’t be seen as practical ...

Hello PE, I was reaching out for a little Foreflight flight planning help. The flight is KTEB to KBOS and I’m going to be flying a Premier 1A light jet . Using the Foreflight route advisor feature, ATC has cleared several jets via BREZY V39 CMK MERIT ROBUC3 with 17,000 feet peak altitude. 224AE988-8...

Thanks Keith!

I understand and I appreciate the time.

Hi Keith, The youtube “Pilotage on Pilotedge” stream you produced was a real treat and a great way to use those skills to stay sharp. I have a question about the flight. When planning a pilotage / dead reckoning flight by hand and using your flight as an example, how should the magnetic variation be...

Thanks Ray,

I like how that method is calculated based on your route of flight.

Its interesting to see what was “taught”. You can’t always find taught experience gems in a text book or blog.

Hi all,

Disregarding any tail wind advantage, I wanted to get a sense of what parameter people use on the VFR sectional charts only to determine their lowest and legal VFR cruising altitude. I find myself using the MEF (max elevation figure) +500 by quadrant as my method.

Thanks!
Massimo

Thanks All!

Any thoughts on the G1000? I haven't gotten into this one yet.

Hi All, I'm planning on training in some low ceilings with X Planes stock Baron 58 and I wanted to double check with the group here. I can't really find an answer with the X Plane resources. Regarding X Plane's stock GNS530 used in the stock Baron 58. Does anyone know what its approach minimums capa...

Guys thanks so much your inputs! This is exactly why I am a member here. The fact that I guessed the turn without asking for clarification was wrong on my part but there is also the duty of issuing complete phraseology when one is overseeing complex navigation scenarios like a hold. This situation w...

Thanks for your feedback Rod. I should clarify that they never used the word depicted or the words as depicted. You’re right though, I should have asked saying “as dipicted?” which would have clarified the situation. As the old saying goes, “If you’re not sure, ask”.
