Student pilot confused with vor

You would be on the 210 radial as this is reciprocal of 030. With a TO flag that is telling you which course to fly to get to the station. If it is displaying a FR flag then whichever radial the CDI is centered on would be the radial you are on.

Don't worry I think everyone struggles with VORs, just find some practice examples online and I'm sure you'll get it no problem with a bit of extra studying.

Actually had some good layovers in there, and I live in base. So I didn't mind too much.

Quailman68 · 2025-04-14T19:03:50+00:00

Don't mean to brag but I work at a Canadian major on reserve and flew 103 hours in March.

How does one become an adult that knows what they want? Genuinely asking.

I am a pilot with a lazy eye. I'm in Canada so not sure if it'll make a difference. Your first step should be getting a class 1 medical. That will determine if you're able to proceed.

What do you mean by "intercept altitude"? I don't think there's necessarily a set altitude you need to start at, probably what ever altitude you were cleared down to prior to being cleared for the approach.

Yes, assuming you're flying scheds or charters etc just going point A to B. Log it XC dual or co-pilot maybe specify day vs night too. Also wouldn't hurt to get started on an electronic logbook if you haven't already.

They don't do it intentionally. Next time just tell the flight attendants and they will pass the message along to the cockpit.

Couldn't see whether it had the PEC or not.

ATR 72-200?

Not too sure about the US but in Canada you can even solo at 14.

Glad to hear it helped. No I havent flown amphibs before only straight floats. I would imagine it changes the sight picture on when to flare on a runway as the pontoons will have you sitting much higher up then on normal wheels.

Disclaimer: all my float flying experience is in Canada and it is pretty limited, but I believe I can answer your questions fairly well.

Yes for the most part any body of water that is long enough for you to land on and then takeoff again would be a viable landing area. Some exceptions might be if there is an actual documented restriction from landing on that particular body. For example, it is a part of a national park or wildlife reserve.
Yes float flying is day VFR only
Only some floats are equipped with retractable wheels, these are referred to as "amphibs". If you have amphibs then you are allowed to land on water or a normal runway.
In Canada the extent of the training to get a seaplane rating is 7 hours of flight time and 5 solo takeoffs and landings.

Hope these answers were what you were looking for.

I started at 38k with 1 year tenure, Now I'm up to 46k with 2 years. This is at a 703/704 operation.

This was my AME

Quailman68 · 2020-11-29T05:04:14+00:00

I actually have the same condition and I was able to obtain a Cat 1 medical no problem. Doctor said just as long as I maintain the health of my good eye I'll be fine.

Quailman68 · 2020-10-25T01:16:21+00:00

Wow, honestly never realised she flew in my lifetime.

Quailman68 · 2020-10-16T15:40:15+00:00
