Difficult Departures
I just had to comment on Tom Turner’s recent article, “Departure Difficulties,” in December’s issue. It’s perhaps one of the best and thought-provoking articles I have ever read in your magazine.
Key Takeaways:
- Pilots are encouraged to continually assess and prepare for flight risks, especially in challenging conditions like LIFR departures, and to strategically expand their experience envelope by introducing new variables one at a time.
- Effective July 31, 2014, adding a multi-engine ATP rating to an existing single-engine ATP certificate requires passing a new multi-engine specific knowledge test and completing the advanced training outlined in FAR 61.156.
- For engine-out emergencies, understanding the distinction between best glide speed (VBG) for maximizing distance and minimum sink speed (VMS) for maximizing time is crucial for making optimal landing decisions based on wind and terrain.
