Only the FAA could say that an approach that can be flown to the exact same minimums is not classified as the same type of approach for alternate planning purposes.

I also think you can consider it a precision in the training environment if you go below 300 using it.

Edit: yeah for things like alternate planning it’s a real kick in the pants.

Yeah for checkride purposes an LPV can be substituted for an ILS. I used to know the reg number off the top of my head. But yeah alternate planning is really the only time it comes into play.

When it says that an airfield has an average of 135 operations per day, what is an "operation?" I think I read that it includes every individual takeoff and landing, so 10 laps in the pattern is 20 operations, but is there anything else? Does a go-around count?

It just means the airport has mostly charter flights in and out, otherwise it would average 91 or 121

Dear diary, I got another erection today at work. SO embarrassing, but kinda hot. The CO asked me to fix up his dress uniform. I had stayed late at work to move his badges 1/8" to the left and pointed it out this morning. 1SG spanked me while the CO watched, once they caught it. Tomorrow I get to start all over again...
Except my avatar please. It used to be something else but it’s been so long I’ve forgotten.

7400 squawk code doesn’t mean poo poo, outside of the 3 emergency codes ATC can assign whatever, it’s just a general guideline outside of the emergency ones.

The lack of response from the gulf stream pilot on liveatc is most likely from the controller multicasting to multiple frequencies and they weren’t on the one liveatc was monitoring at that time, or could mean they’re using UHF radios, which liveatc does not have.

If the government or whoever didn’t want you to know about whatever “super secret” thing that is, they sure as hell wouldn’t be flying out of Ypsilanti.

LiveATC has the most hilarious frequency pairings, and no concept at all of multi-freq ops.

"Prosecutors and police in Moldova closed down a clandestine factory that was illegally producing copies of Soviet-type Kamov KA-26 helicopters to sell to ex-Soviet states."

Counterfeit helicopters. Just those two words alone make me imagine pretty much every possible crash scenario.

You'll notice the complaint is that they didn't have the correct paperwork. Nothing about their international partners complaining about the product.

Would you rather fly in a counterfeit Kamov or a certified Boeing? Really close choice, as they say in poker.

*edit it appears that stock buybacks are banned in Russia, so I'm going to take the Kamov as the slightly less corrupt option

If I’m just doing a 135 recurrent while already having the type and ATP do I need to do an IACRA? I’m off to school next week and I usually like to do it ahead of time because they always find a way to mess it up if I do it in front of them.

I don't think so. When I've done recurrent under 121, I've never done IACRA, so I think that's one of those situations where the FAA relies on the employer to keep the relevant records on their own.
