Readback November 2017

I am pretty much all in with all the latest wizbangs-syn vis, AOA, MFD, ADS-B In etc. in my V-35B, plus of course the great PFD. All this works perfectly with my legacy autopilot and it will take me wherever I want.I too discovered that I was really getting sloppy with my hand flying in challenging conditions and resolved to make letting George fly the exception. Sometimes we split the route where I fly out George flies back. I like flying the airplane and becoming more aware of all that I have on display in front of me, but it does take more effort and concentration.

Key Takeaways:

• Modern aircraft automation can diminish hand-flying proficiency and instrument scan skills, necessitating active practice to maintain fundamental flying abilities, especially when transitioning to less automated aircraft.
• The BasicMed process elicits mixed reactions, with some pilots finding it more complex and stressful than traditional FAA medical exams, despite its benefit of a "pass/no pass" outcome without direct FAA involvement if unsuccessful.
• Clarification is provided on instrument approach procedures, noting that pilots can make necessary turns to enter a traffic pattern for landing unless explicitly restricted, as missed approach guidance does not dictate landing turns.
