Just Let Down
As an instrument student, thank you for a great magazine. I especially always look forward to the Killer Quiz.
Readback: September 2013
Key Takeaways:
- Readers provided extensive feedback and corrections on "Killer Quiz" questions, prompting clarifications on descent procedures in holding patterns, mandatory leg lengths for "hold-in-lieu of PT," and acknowledged inconsistencies in wind data presentation.
- The article highlighted unique Canadian IFR regulations allowing flights in uncontrolled airspace with an itinerary instead of a flight plan, and discussed the role of consumer GPS devices like Spot for search and rescue, while also emphasizing the passive alert capability of ELTs.
- A discussion clarified that LPV approaches, despite being technically classified as non-precision by ICAO standards, offer precision-like performance and minima comparable to Category 1 ILS approaches, leading to a practical duality in their classification.
