Readback: August 2018

Thank you for a great publication. It really helps knock some rust off. My question is for Tim Vasquez: Where did you get that chart shown on page 22 of the April issue?As a SPIFR EMS helicopter pilot, icing is my Achilles heel. Not only do I have the same problems as the fixed wing community-weight, reduction of lift etc.-but I also have asymmetric shedding that will tear the aircraft apart rather quickly. Also, as an EMS aircraft, my flights are not very long so I never get above about 3 to 4000 feet.

Key Takeaways:

• Pilots actively seek and receive advice on critical aviation topics, such as identifying useful icing charts and managing challenging "slam-dunk" approaches, often getting alternative tools or procedural recommendations.
• Readers frequently submit corrections to factual errors in previous issues, covering details from political affiliations and geographical locations to the accurate reporting of aviation fatality statistics, which the publication acknowledges and commits to addressing.
• The "Readback" section serves as an interactive forum where pilots praise authors for insightful articles, particularly those explaining Air Traffic Control operations, fostering a community exchange of knowledge and appreciation for aviation content.
