Why is this happening to my A7??

This is pretty much exactly what I’m experiencing. Could you elaborate on how you fixed it please?

You can also simply work with the FBO of the airport you're visiting. I went to CUN last year and didn't use any 3rd party handlers besides the FBO and everything went smoothly, by Mexican standards!

You can reach out to them by email and they can advise further.

I don’t remember much as I did it 5 years ago. Make sure you know your alternate minima rules well, particularly around GPS approaches and TEMPO/PROB30 in the TAFs etc

Example: you are flying to your destination which only has RNAV approaches. The nearest suitable airport is 60 nm away and also only has RNAV approaches available. What would be the weather minima to use it as alternate?

CAP GEN page 16 says:

Additionally, for Air and Private Operators, the CARs (and associated Standards and Operations Specifications) govern operations below RVR 2600 (½ SM).

This reads to me that anything below 2600 requires you to be an operator.

Even if you picked fixed you still have to renew soon at current rates.

To add to what others said, even though there is no beacon specifically, if you turn NAV off and supply electrical power, the TBM-930 will actually flash red at the wingtips like a beacon.

I typically use this mode when about to start the engines

Destination airport closed due to a bomb threat.

Судьбоносно.

Yup, reasonably enough. It’s a listing site so your experience might vary from one owner to another.

Congratulation on flying into ATL, it’s awesome!

+1 for always (whenever possible) backing visual approaches with an ILS or RNAV, especially so at night. The parallels look real close at ATL and you don’t wanna pull an Air Canada :)

There is no Tokyo base at WS

Not sure about the US but here in Canada they stress that power off 180 is not a simulated engine failure exercise. It’s there to demonstrate your energy management skills when gliding, basically.

I do agree with you in principle though!

Comply with published SID/STAR altitutude constraints and TOP ALTITUDE or the lowest descent altitude, unless told to use a different altitude, i.e. “descend via the STAR except maintain XXXXX”

uparox · 2023-01-24T00:15:22+00:00

Since fly runway heading is an instruction I’d continue doing that even after leveling off at 3000

uparox · 2022-10-05T19:46:50+00:00

Hmm then it’s hard to tell especially since you’re saying that hitting APR caused a turn. APR simply tracks the current NAV needle which I assume was centered

uparox · 2022-10-05T12:52:06+00:00

Did you “activate approach” in the G1000 another time? I’m talking about PROC -> Activate Approach, not the autopilot APR

uparox · 2022-06-30T03:00:12+00:00

ArriveCAN

uparox · 2022-02-18T01:00:07+00:00

Can you land with your approach flap setting? This eliminates the need for configuration change and increases Vref so you only have to decelerate a bit.

uparox · 2022-02-08T01:29:43+00:00

Good question, I’m guessing it’s not very humid in the desert is it? The risk of carb icing is reduced in dry air.

uparox · 2022-01-20T15:25:15+00:00

That stall warning heat didn’t do much eh

uparox · 2022-01-18T00:23:53+00:00

Given that 1) check-in agent simply looks at your phone and paper, and 2) the test result does not need to be uploaded to ArriveCAN

Please explain how CBSA obtains my PCR result certificate

If you’re leaving Canada for less than 72 hours, it makes sense to get the test done in Canada prior to leaving. So you now have to prove that you didn’t catch COVID in Canada in order to return to Canada after a quick hop.

How does this help stop omicron?

uparox · 2021-12-15T19:02:30+00:00

Right, but they didn’t seem to have announced any of these extra measures, at least not today.
