Pilots are advised to complete post-landing checklists when clear of the runway, informing ATC if a brief stop is needed, and should use clear non-verbal cues to manage passenger distractions during critical ATC communications.
Flying through clouds is not permitted on a contact approach, often requiring an instrument approach clearance to descend through cloud layers first.
Discussions suggest modern WAAS GPS technology may offer superior accuracy for outbound navigation compared to localizers, advocating for updated FAA substitution rules, and highlight the need for specific training on VOR navigation with EFIS systems like the G1000.
Pilots must be aware that instrument approach charts are typically aligned to true north, causing magnetic courses to appear visually different due to local magnetic variation.
As with all pilot actions, communications are last. Reference the June 2020 article, “Towered Field Ops,” and the subsequent Readback item in August.
