lnav+v guidance

if my cda starts at the FAF down to MDA and I cold weather correct, will the g530w path be safe to follow? e.g. my faf alt is 2000, mda of 1000, due to low temps cwc faf is 2500 and mda is 1500, the advisory glide path should still intercept at the faf and keep me on the 3.0 path then i'll level of ...

Anyone else get more icing on descents than climbs?

Hi guys,

Just wondering if you guys have noticed a similar thing I tend to pick up alot more icing when descending than climbing. I wondered if theres any science behind it or just a coincidence.

Thanks ollie

Re: Propeller theory

Do this mean the aircraft will accerlate the quickest with the highest power? Taken to the extreme, consider a reversing prop. When it is selected into reverse blade angle, it is unlikely that the entire blade is at a reverse blade angle, but rather just enough of it that it produces the desired re...

Re: Radar airspace

I think i found an another answer, in "see AIP Canada ENR 1.6,
Figure 1.6.2, Secondary Surveillance Radar Coverage."

That figure shows radar coverage as well?

Radar airspace

Just confirming how to identify which areas on the VNC/Lo Chart indicate a controller, wheather that be TML/ACC etc have radar view of that area.

Re: GPS intercepts confusion

By TRK i mean my current track, this will change throughout the intercept:
-My inital track --> my intercepting track (an angle to my DTK, e.g. 30, 45, 60, 90) ---> My TRK=DTK

GPS intercepts confusion

Im really confused about GPS intercepts. Heres an example, see if im correct: Say i want to intercept station "X" inbound: DTK = 045 Say my BRG (BTS) = 200 so my BFS =020, im N/E of the station so i have to fly S/W direction for any kind of inbound intercept. TRK = doesn't matter Once i intercept th...

GFA - Trough (Purple lines) vs trowal line

Hi could someone explain the difference between them and why a trough forms from a weakening trowal. I understand a trowal as a trough of warm air aloft (I used to know the term occluded front, cold front catching up to a warm front in a system) and trough as a elongated area of low pressure. I've s...

Re: CAT 1 renewal - Colour blind

TC really should adopt a more modern approach to assesing colour vision, like in NZ and AUS where they use practical flight assessments. There used to be a practical test, it's how I got my Cat 1. But then they go rid of it. Not sure why. My medical used to be Cat 1p, now it's just Cat 1. About 9 o...
