Pilots have flexibility in post-landing checks (stopped or taxiing, with ATC advisement if stopping) and can use non-verbal cues to manage passenger distractions during ATC communications.
Contact approach clearances strictly prohibit flight through clouds; pilots must maintain clear-of-clouds visibility.
The article notes reader interest in modernizing navigation practices, such as allowing WAAS GPS to substitute for localizer guidance (especially outbound), and seeks tutorials for VOR navigation on EFIS/G1000 systems.
Pilots should be aware that magnetic courses depicted on approach charts may appear offset from "true north" due to local magnetic variation, as charts are often aligned with true north.
As with all pilot actions, communications are last. Reference the June 2020 article, “Towered Field Ops,” and the subsequent Readback item in August.
When landing, the pilot is expected to taxi completely off the runway, whether or not blocking a taxiway. The airplane should be stopped and the post-landing checklist completed before taxing further.
