    When to Choose an IAF versus Vectors when Getting Vectors to Final + GA News

    When to Choose an IAF versus Vectors when Getting Vectors to Final + GA News

    Max talks about when to choose an IAF versus Vectors when Getting Vectors to Final. Like most things in aviation, the answer is “It Depends.” In older GPSs, choosing Vectors drops some waypoints, which is fine over flat terrain, but which can be dangerous when vectored over mountainous terrain. This is why CFIs often encouraged pilots to always load an approach with an IAF and not vectors, even when being vectored for an approach. Newer GPSs have solved this problem, and in most cases, it’s fine to load an approach with vectors.

    303 Cirrus SR22T Crash at Shelbyville, IN and Why the CAPS Parachute Matters

    303 Cirrus SR22T Crash at Shelbyville, IN and Why the CAPS Parachute Matters

    Max talks about the fatal crash of a SR22T in Shelbyville, IN and why after an engine failure, Cirrus pilots are encouraged to use the CAPS parachute rather than glide down to a field. He also talks about why Cirrus pilots are at greater risk of dying than Cessna pilots if they do attempt to put their airplane into a field. He also describes the physics behind why a parachute pull is safer than trying to land in a field.

    San Diego Cessna P210 Crash – Poorly flown ILS and low fuel

    San Diego Cessna P210 Crash – Poorly flown ILS and low fuel

    Max talks about the crash this week of a Cessna P210 in San Diego, and why it crashed. The flight originated in Concord, CA and flew for just over 4 hours to Montgomery Field in San Diego. The aircraft first tried to land at French Valley airport, was high on the approach and went missed. It diverted to Montgomery field to fly the ILS 28R, however the pilot flew about a third of a mile south of the airport, missing the runway. Five minutes after the approach, while climbing for another approach, he ran out of fuel. ATC audio provided by LiveATC.net

    San Diego Cessna 340 Crash – the Perils of not Understanding Circling and Visual Approaches

    San Diego Cessna 340 Crash – the Perils of not Understanding Circling and Visual Approaches

    Max talks about why the pilot of a Cessna 340 in San Diego turned right instead of joining the localizer and later crashed. It all came down to the pilot’s lack of understanding of how to fly a circling approach, and his inability to communicate that he’d like to switch to a visual approach. This miscommunication led to a controller sending him back into IMC for a second approach. Sadly, at the time, the pilot was in VMC and was preparing to land. ATC audio provided by LiveATC.net

    San Diego Cessna 340 Crash Final NTSB Report – Currency and Proficiency

    San Diego Cessna 340 Crash Final NTSB Report – Currency and Proficiency

    Max talks about the final NTSB report results for a Cessna 340 that crashed in IMC while on approach into San Diego. The pilot’s logbook revealed that Instrument Proficiency Checks and Flight Review conducted during the prior year were cursory and did not meet the requirements for issuing those endorsements. Max talks about the problems with pencil whipping flight training and falsifying endorsements. He lists all of the elements required for an IPC, so you can ensure you’re getting all of the training required for an endorsement. ATC audio provided by LiveATC.net

Ti C ,

Excellent information

Thoroughly enjoying this podcast! Thanks so much for sharing great content!

Gustavo Durazo ,

Great podcast

I am an aspiring pilot, and have lots of friends who are pilots. My friends are amazed by my knowledge about aviation without being a pilot myself. I review a lot of content from you tube and podcast but feel that your podcast is mainly responsible for all my knowledge. Keep up the good work and never stop!!! Will let you know when my journey starts !!!

United, assistant chief pilot

You are not someone I’d want to fly 40 years with, or even around the patch.
You made me say a bad word, out loud, several times at the inaneness
of this interview.
You deserved to be booted from the flight with your “1K?” Status.
Should have kept your mouth shut, and relocated yourselves upon reaching cruise.
But no, you wrote the Chief Pilot.
I pulled the plug before you asked about chemtrails and UFO’s👽
Bunch of mewling quims.
