Key Takeaways:

  • Readers praised Tim Vasquez's weather articles and requested more, which the magazine confirmed are a regular feature tailored for pilots.
  • A "Sim Challenge" article was criticized for being too difficult and confusing for student pilots, but the editor clarified that these challenges are intentionally complex, designed for "accomplished pilots" to stretch their skills and require significant preparation.
  • A pilot questioned why less precise RNAV approaches sometimes have lower minimums than more precise ones; the editor's expert confirmed this rare occurrence is due to differing obstacle evaluation areas and noted a potential safety ambiguity.

Gimme More Vasquez

Your May issue had “Surface Charts” by Tim Vasquez. This outstanding article has been long needed. I found it highly informative and I loved it.

I am a former USAF pilot with 4500 hours total time, now mostly civilian. This is the type of information I find most helpful and valuable.
