    3. Avoidance
    4. Indecision is
  5. 5On approach where does Gary like gear and flaps deployedWell before FAF so you’re already on speed when passing it and for VFR OPS before entering D or for uncontrolled 5NM out
  6. 6Easiest criminal negligence charge to get in aviationFederal prison time if busting certain TFRs because you failed to get legally required WX brief
  7. 7When can you legally switch from approach to tower without being instructed to do so?FAF inbound
  8. 8Generally it’s always better to fly GPS Direct with what four exceptions?1. Mountain Flying

    3. MON System Use
    4. Busy congested airspace (SCal, Newark, JFK or Boston)
  9. 9Gary recommends you follow ATIS recommendations for landing runways with what exception?Just because it reveals ILS thusandso in service doesn’t mean that you should request it. Default to the LPV
  10. 10Two things you should always include in your IFR GPS Direct?1. SID if there is one
    2. Approach IAF by name
  11. 11Alicia Herron’s (AOPA Safety Institute) lost comm flowVolume

    Ammeter? If that’s the issue EMERGENCY
  12. 12What are TEC Routes and where are they?Tower EnrouteControl Routes -short distance IFR routes through congested metro areas run by approach control. Currently (Mar 22) they are only found in NE, N & S California, Texas & Louisiana.
  13. 13Possible difference between filing a TEC vs loading it in your navigator flight plan?Filing you just list the coded name in your route and in remarks write TEC. So far, most navigators won’t accept this and you will have to separately list all 4-8 waypoint intersections that make it in the 50-60 miles distance it runs.
  14. 14The biggest problem with going missed?It increases stress and decision fatigue and the pilot gets mentally locked in that they have to land there (like the 737-800 crash at ROSTOV ON DON, Russia)
  15. 15Three levels of Garmin 430 CDI Sensitivity?1. Enroute 5NM full scale either side
    2. Terminal when w/in 30NM is 1NM

  32. 32Garmin 430 abbreviation LFOB?Leftover Fuel On Board
  33. 33Garmin 430 abbreviation LPV?The GPS or WAAS precision approach which doesn’t provide a traditional glide slope but instead a GPS Glide path put together from either WAAS or instead a Local Area Augmentation System. Essentially a glide slope and path are the same but path has even more precision. If options are ILS vs LPV

  56. 56How can you make rule of thumb true airspeed estimation?Double indicated altitude, divide by 1000 and add to indicated airspeed.
  57. 57When can an IF be used instead or in lieu of an IAF?When vectored onto it at less than a 90 degree angle
  58. 58When does turn anticipation show on screen?Ten seconds before waypoint -set new course on OBS.
  59. 59What’s the second turn anticipation?“Turn right/left now”
  60. 60What’s the third turn anticipation?A momentary flicker from to/from and back to “to” and this is where approach LPV becomes illuminated, which means it’s passed the WAAS check and we may follow glide path to DA
  61. 61Suppose you’re departing on runway 20 and following the following Initial climb instructions “climb heading 213 to 1000 Climbing left turn to intercept SNS R-293 to SNS VOR” -exactly how do you follow these simple & periodically deviated/misunderstood instructions?when executing the turn roll out on the reciprocal of 293 (113), or continue to whatever interception heading. If reciprocals are not your thing just put 293 on the bottom OBS position and Voilà reciprocal is atop.
  62. 62You’re entering FPL, just entered departure airport and now want to enter departure procedure. How?Menu select departure, enter, select runway enter,…
  63. 63You’re flying along and received an amended clearance involving new waypoints amid your flight plan. How do you do this?Fpl, get a curser, delete anything no longer needed, highlighting the last waypoint you’re keeping after the insertion of new stuff turn small knob and spell out/enter each consecutive new points pushing enter for each
  64. 64Ideal map scale for best SA?Big enough to show next two waypoints
  65. 65How to remove waypointsFpl highlight correct one, CLR enter
  66. 66Increase or change brightnessTwist big knob to Aux, little knob to pg 4, big knob over one then little knob for adjustment
  67. 67How to de clutter map display when IFRCLR up to three times
  68. 68Top three 430 pilot errors1. Too much time programming close to FAF
    2. Localizer frequency and VLOC not set when already cleared
    3. Wasting time trying to remove procedure turn from FPL
  69. 69What should you do if programming things go wrong within 5 NM of FAFRequest missed
  70. 70Recommended flaps before final?Whatever the recommended aPOH flap setting is for short field departure
  71. 71Button flow going missed on ILS1.CDI out of V-LOC to GPS
    2. OBS to e
  72. 72Gary’s recommended intercept20 degrees
  73. 73When is a HILPT technically completed?When the aircraft is established on the inbound course after the appropriate entry.
  74. 74Can we shorten the leg lengths of a HILPT?Sure. Just don’t exceed them. AIM 5-4-9 a.5 gives us that freedom: “The holding pattern distance or time specified in the profile view must be observed. For a hold−in−lieu−of−PT, the holding pattern direction must be flown as depicted and the specified leg length/timing must not be exceeded.” Again, however, while shortening your entry is permitted, it’s best to keep the controller in the loop.
  75. 75Four common occasions when you might fly a full hold?At some en route fix to hold for congested traffic ahead, on an approach due to preceding traffic or your own need to further prepare, at a missed approach holding fix before rejoining the en route structure, and on departures to climb to a safe altitude.
  76. 76Are 430 turns based upon standard rate?No. They are based upon 15-degree angle of bank up to 30 degrees depending upon what it thinks is necessary.
  77. 77Rule of thumb for determining standard rate turn bank angleTAS divided by ten then add five. So If 115/10 = 11.5 + 5 = 16.5 degree bank angle or at 90/10 = 9 + 5 = 14. These are the two most
  78. 78You’re in a HILPT where you’ve already made your entry and you’re on or nearly descending to the correct altitude what’s next?Since you haven’t requested or needed another turn, as the turn anticipation begins, turn to roll out onto FAC, hit FPL, get a cursor illuminate hold and click yes when “Remove Holding Pattern Yes or No” pops up.
  79. 79When do the HAL & VAL (Horizontal & Vertical Alarm Limits) complete self check?One minute before FAF
  80. 80How would you know if the box failed HAL/VAL check?Instead of green LPV in the lower left of screen it’s a green LNAV
  81. 81FAF ChecksTime turn twist throttle talk and touch
    Verify GPS mode & double check LPV Displayed
  82. 82Advantage of 530 over 430Screen is large enough to display arc, map and OBS all on one screen
  83. 83Oft forgotten item on missed approachGPS Mode
  84. 84COM Transmitter power has been reducedThe unit is overheating or insufficient voltage is available. Check ammeter. Load shed and got out

    2. Database expiration currency screen
    3. IFR Panel Self Test
  104. 104Biggest differences between 750 and 650Only 750 displays charts, 750 defaults to map whereas must be selected deliberately on 650, half scale GPS test on 750 is based on 150 & 650 on 024 degrees, everything easily seen on 750 home page whereas 650 must scroll
  105. 105Where do you get database subscriber alerts?Fly.Garmin.com and select database alerts
  106. 106How to identify VOR on 750?Hand move map screen (if necessary) to reveal VOR, touch it, push waypoint info button lower right, touch frequency, touch top NAV frequency to flop making the new one active, touch audio panel, push to illuminate NAV1, should be able to hear
  107. 107Download GTN TrainerFor iPad open App Store search GTN and download the trainer, which opens in 750 mode. To switch to 650 hit settings, change device and select 650
  108. 108Three types of traffic available with our ADS-B?1. TIS Traffic info system (requiring mode S) borrowing info from TRACON, not center
    2. Traffic Advisory System (TAS) which interrogates other transponders (Intended for advisory use only to aid pilot)
    3. FIS-B showing pressure altitude
  109. 109Symbol meaning of big black square with white Diamond?TIS Non-Threat traffic
  110. 110Symbol big black square yellow circleTIS Traffic Advisory (TA)
  111. 111Symbol big black square half yellow circleTraffic Advisory Off Scale

  115. 115Smaller black square with half yellow circleTraffic Advisory off scale
  116. 116Traffic screenInstead of map, hit menu, traffic bringing up the similar black screen as 430 where recommended settings are:
    AIRPORT TRAFFIC AREA = 2 NM Range
    Takeoff = 6NM
    En Route just use map or if you want to use it select 12 NM
  117. 117Ownship iconYour location is at the nose of ownship, not the center. For instance a yellow traffic ball 45 degrees ahead and to the left from the ownship symbol and even with the nose of it is actually at nine O Clock, not ten.
  118. 118Red on terrain alert means whatTerrain and obstacles 100 feet or less below your current altitude. Emergency climb and turn maneuver
  119. 119Does terrain color yellow mean you’re safe?No. It means you may still hit If there’s a significant down draft. Immediately execute a climb and turn.
  120. 120FLTA Advisories and Alerts?Forward Looking Terrain Warnings & Advisories:
    EDR-W: “PULL UP”
    FLTA “TERRAIN TERRAIN!” and may graduate to “PULL UP”. Obstacle warning begins with “OBSTACLE AHEAD!”
  121. 121What is VCO 500?Voice Callout 500 feet above airport
  122. 122What happens if when you open menu to find that NEXRAD is on and you turn on terrain?It turns NEXTAD off. Also if you were to turn on radar it would turn terrain off. That’s because you can only view color contrasts for one selection at a time. Therefore default to terrain and periodically check the others when/if needed.
  123. 123Each knot of wind is how many FPM?50
  124. 124How to send textsHome, services text compose, enter number text and send
  125. 125How to Add waypoint?Home waypoint info, either create waypoint or user waypoint (a catalog of previously stored user waypoints), name it, comment description (spell out), position in one of three ways:
    1. Radial
    2. Radial/Distance
    3. LAT/LON
  126. 126When are AIRMETS, SIGMETS, NOTAMs, METARs & TAFs required (in other words a briefing)?Anytime you leave the traffic pattern (CFR 91.103. It has never changed!
  127. 127How to create waypoint from 750 touch screen?Zoom out, scroll over and zoom in, if necessary and touch the point. Next push the lower right button which just appeared that says “Map pointer create waypoint”. Name it and hit enter. The last two options are “Temporary “ or “Create”. Hit create
  128. 128How to set top of descentUtilities, vertical calculation, push descend at and input rate, list target waypoint for TOD. It’s all set but system will only reveal TOD information when moving in flight. It does not display on flight route.
  129. 129Difference between ETA and ETE?ETA is exclusively destination arrival time whereas ETE is estimated time en route to MY NEXT WAYPOINT
  130. 130Best GTN 750 SettingsKeep DTK in upper left, replace TRK (upper right) with ETE (or if IFR Select Active Waypoint) replace lower left ground speed with current wind speed & direction (or if IFR ETE) and change distance in lower right to nearest airport (or if IFR PROC PG)
  131. 131GTN 650 NAV page settings for IFRMenu configure user fields, DTK top left, ETE top center, active waypoint top right, NAV (freq) bottom left, tuned VOR/localizer bottom center, Distance to Waypoint bottom right.
  132. 132Best rule for how far to zoom outAt least far enough to see next waypoint
  133. 133Suppose you’re flying to your next waypoint and you see some yellow weather painted across your course. What are your options?Depending on severity and if widespread, you could request approach recommendation/vectors, turn back or if appears localized perform parallel track by: home, flight plan, menu, parallel track, choose a distance to the right or left and enter it & press activate.
  134. 134You already acquired a full standard WX brief an input departure direct destination and now you need updated destination winds to continue to build flight plan. What is the process on 650/750?From map view touch destination then push waypoint info and press WX data tab to confirm most favorable landing runway and approach. Should also confirm on MOS & Windy. Go back, touch home, flight plan and verify. Now back, procedure departure, select procedure, runway, Transition, load departure, back, procedure, arrival, select from fix, load arrival, back, menu, preview, back, follow same process to load approach you suspect you will get selecting a transition IAF or fix from arrival.
  135. 135You have just entered the entire flight plan and pressed and held home to bring up map then zoomed out from departing airport to view everything. You find that there are a path of white arrows leading to the first fix or white (or as it becomes active leg magenta) course line. What are they?Radar vectors of the SID.
  136. 136You’re flying along and approach interrupts own NAV with vectors and then clears you to a waypoint or fix in your plan. How do you do this on 650/750?Find the fix on the map, press it and when box options pop up press direct to (on screen)
  137. 137Biggest reason you should never activate Vectors to final?You will lose step down fixes.
  138. 138650/750 you are cleared direct to a waypoint in the approach and cleared for the approach what’s the flow?As previously mentioned, push the fix and direct to and turn to capture course then home procedure approach, activate approach and/or activate leg as necessary
  139. 139You’re approaching the last third of your flight plan, which is fully loaded, including approach X when you learn from ATIS or approach that winds have changed making approach and runway Y in use. What’s the flow?Procedure, approach, approach again, scroll up or down and select Y, procedure turn (if so directed) and select turn fix, load approach and activate, okay, home
  140. 140You are halfway through a procedure turn when ATC requests that you continue in a hold n of the PT Fix. What’s the flow?Home, flight plan, touch PT Fix, hold at waypoint, enter inbound course defaulting to right turns (unless they specified left turns but the hold will be on the same safe side as the PT), default to one minute legs (unless they specified otherwise), enter EFC time, enter, load, back, map,
  141. 141You’re turning in the hold when they clear you to land. What’s the flow?Home, flight plan, touch hold and push exit hold, okay, home, map. As we are rounding the final turn, with entire hold in magenta, as we straighten out onto FAC holding pattern is removed with only magenta to FAF
  142. 142Missed Approach Waypoint Reached Automatic Waypoint Sequencing suspended message pops up and we do not see the runway. What’s the flow?Full prop/power, nose up 10 deg, gear up, positive ROC, flaps up, activate GPS procedure, touch unsuspend and head to MAP Hold
  143. 143You’re transitioning from Enroute to ILS or localizer approach when message flashes reminding you to select correct NAV source. What’s the flow?Tune and flop if not already active, home CDI and verify V-LOC
  144. 144Important ILS Missed approach distinctionThere could be some disagreement between GPS Message timing and ILS. So always go with your personal DA on glide slope.
  145. 145What should you never do while 650/750 are turned on?Remove SD card
  146. 146When are you unable to do a parallel track?1. Any turn beyond 120 degrees
    2. Instrument approach past IAF
  147. 147Traffic devic has been in standby for more than 60 secondsFlop to active
  148. 148Definition of emergency“Something you’re not prepared for “
  149. 149Best ways to effect emergency outcomes1. Practice and train for them regularly
    2. Declare them early and often by asking for help
    3.
  150. 150Biggest killer of pilotsDecision fatigue
    1. Avoid fast decisions
    2. The longer you’re making them
    3. The more stress you’re under
    The more you do before you fly, the safer you will be
  151. 151Get WX briefing early10 days, rental car reservation or an airline ticket with free cancellation
    Check WX 2 days forecast/prog,
  152. 152Default route of Contiguous US WX?Starts in NW and goes South and then NE

    8. Fly Approaches before you go on simulator
    9. Use Every Electronic Gadget for situational awareness
    10. Slow Down
  159. 159Insurance against GPS outage on departureDrag and drop nearest VOR along course
  160. 160NDB AirwaysAlways colored brown but associated airways are Amber and blue running N/S and green/red typically run east/west
  161. 161What’s always required to legally track Tango Airways?Current GPS that is working correctly
  162. 162If there’s no MCA flag at a fix which has different MEAs and you’re going from the lower to the higher, where would you begin the climb?Begin at the fix but if it does have an MCA Flag you would have to consult your POH and determine how far prior to begin the climb in order to ensure you reach the altitude prior to the fix.
  163. 163A victor airway shows a black MEA of 15000 and below that in blue it says 12600G. What is this?It’s the lower MEA for GPS equipped. Why lower? Because it’s relying upon NAV signals from above without ground based service volume limitations.
  164. 164Hold defaults on VOR Airways?Right turns one minute
  165. 165Hold defaults on RNAV or GPS based holds?Right turns & 4NM
  166. 166Three ways to communicate with FSS/suchandsuch Radio1. Frequency atop VOR box name of radio below in open square
    2. Thinner RCO box listing Radio Name UHF & VHF
    3. Another VOR box as described in one but with a Capital R after the frequency meaning they receive me on that but I select whichever NAV1 or NAV2 from the audio panel (verify active) & turn up volume.
  167. 167Decision fatigue refers toThe deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual after a long session of decision making where statistics reveal that after ten decisions the quality is impaired a bit and after 20 you begin to make a few unreasonable decisions. And after 30 there are poor ones.
  168. 168Gary’s solution to Decision fatigue“Never hand fly and waste brain power on the simple stuff if you have an autopilot.”
  169. 169Primary benefits to autopilot besides less decision fatigue?Checklists, look outside, check WX, manage big picture, engine indications,
  170. 170You can ______ anytime and anywhere on a missed approach but you can never ______ until reaching the _____.You can climb anytime and anywhere on a missed approach but you can never turn until reaching the MAP.
  171. 171How are fly by waypoints depicted differently than leading turn waypoints?Fly by (over) waypoints are depicted as stars inside a circle whereas leading turn waypoints are merely depicted with stars.
  172. 172Fastest way to begin flight plan in ForeFlight?Click in route bar for curser, departure airport space destination space, tail number space, altitude space, speed space fuel burn space, (Sybil’s screen to select) plus sign, space, Zulu time and hit search
  173. 173MVA/MIA -are they a navigation tool?No, merely a visual reference.
  174. 174MVA/MIA -are they updated regularly?No. The controller using it must verify currency. At a minimum they are updated once every two years.
  175. 175What is synonymous with MVA?may also be referred to as Minimum Flight Altitude (MFA), Minimum Radar Vectoring Altitude (MRVA) or ATC Surveillance Minimum Altitude (ASMA).
  176. 176What’s the real difference between MVA and MIA?IFR are published but MVA involves investigation or inquiry.
  177. 177MEAThe MEA is the lowest published altitude between radio fixes that ensures navigation signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes (1000 or 2000 in mountains).
  178. 178RNAV MEARNAV MEAs are depicted on some IFR en route low altitude charts, allowing both RNAV and non-RNAV pilots to use the same chart for instrument navigation. Depicted as altitude with capital G at end.
  179. 179MRAMRAs are determined by FAA flight inspection traversing an entire route of flight to establish the minimum altitude the navigation signal can be received for the route and for off-course NAVAID facilities that determine a fix. It’s depicted as an R flag.
    When the MRA at the fix is higher than the MEA, an MRA is established for the fix and is the lowest altitude at which an intersection can be determined.
  180. 180MAAAn MAA is a published altitude representing the maximum usable altitude or flight level for an airspace structure or route segment.
    It is the highest altitude on a Federal airway, jet route, RNAV low or high route, or other direct route for which an MEA is designated. Adequate reception of navigation signals is assured. Depicted MAA followed by specified altitude.
  181. 181MOCAThe MOCA is the lowest published altitude in effect between fixes on VOR airways, off-airway routes, or route segments that meets obstacle clearance requirements for the entire route segment.
    This altitude also assures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 NM of a VOR. Depicted as asterisk followed by specified altitude.
  182. 182OROCAAn off-route obstruction clearance altitude (OROCA) is an off-route altitude that provides obstruction clearance with a 1,000-foot buffer in non-mountainous terrain areas, and a 2,000-foot buffer in designated mountainous areas. This altitude doesn't guarantee signal coverage from ground-based NAVAIDs, ATC radar, or communications coverage. Depicted in light shade magenta with large numbers indicating thousands and one small numeral indicating hundreds.
  183. 183MTAMinimum turning altitude (MTA) is a charted altitude providing vertical and lateral obstruction clearance based on turn criteria over certain fixes, NAVAIDs, waypoints, and on charted route segments. Check out Page 2-38 in Chapter 2 of the FAA's Instrument Procedures Handbook for more.
    The turn area provides obstacle clearance for both turn anticipation (turning prior to the fix) and flyover protection (turning after crossing the fix). This does not violate the requirement to fly the centerline of the airway. Many factors enter into the construction and application of the turning area to provide pilots with adequate obstacle clearance protection. These may include aircraft speed, the amount of turn versus NAVAID distance, flight track, curve radii, MEAs, and MTA. Depicted as MYA with instructions
  184. 184MCAAn MCA is the lowest altitude at certain fixes at which the aircraft must cross when proceeding in the direction of a higher minimum en route IFR altitude. Depicted as X flag.
  185. 185What does the following Search box flight got plan command mean: D KSFODirect San Francisco
  186. 186What does the following Search box flight got plan command mean: KJFK FLW 32.3/99WNew York to this VOR to an Lat/Lon waypoint
  187. 187What does the following Search box flight got plan command mean: KUZA KOSH 8000ftRock Hill to Oshkosh at 8000
  188. 188What does the following Search box flight got plan command mean: KJFK YQM V311 YQX 5050N 5330 N 5315N EGLLJFK to London Heathrow using ARINC 424 coordinates between Gander and Heathrow.
  189. 189What does the following Search box flight got plan command mean: KUZA KOSH 8000 1315ZRoute details calculated for Zulu time departure. Alternatively, could express as 13:15 or 1:15p, in local time. You could also express as + 60, meaning an hour from now.
  190. 190How do you enter a VOR Radial and distance?No spaces or anything between these three in this order:
    1. VOR Three Letter ID
    2. Three digit radial
    3.three digit distance
    It will display in route as one item with two forward slashes like this: PAE/235/25
  191. 191Why are you unlikely to be approved for an LNAV/VNAV?It requires coupled autopilot and other features we likely don’t have.
  192. 192Why is the VDP kind of useless for GA Aircraft?Because at the VDP or anywhere that I have the runway in sight I will likely put in full flaps to land, changing the configuration. Airlines don’t
  193. 193Initial flight plan flow in search boxDeparture airport code space
    Destination code space
    Knots space
    GPH space
    DEPARTURE TIME (either 1space hour or ZULU or +60)
  194. 194Destination alternate vs. country halfway WX alternate in ForeFlight?Destination alternate -when you up arrow to flights list destination alternate in the alternate space. There is no 2nd alternate offered here.
    Half way WX alternate -when you press proceed to file, it provides a space for second alternate -enter here.
  195. 195Gary recommends a regular airplane equipped with the following over a new new C172 with G1000 NXi -why? 1. ForeFlight ProPlus 2. Jeppesen Charts 3. Best/fastest IPad with most data 4. Stratus 2S AHRS/External GPS/ADS-B In 5. X-naut cooling case for IPadBest set up possible for $2600 total vs $438000 which doesn’t give the following:
    1. Cannot generate flight plan
    2. Cannot generate Standard WX Brief
    3. Cannot open/close flight plans
    4. Cannot do Wt/Balance
  196. 196Common difference between GPS Holds and VOR based holds?GPS are typically 4 NM whereas VOR are typically one minute.
  197. 197Controller tells you to hold west of muddy, 4 NM legs. What’s your inbound course?270 is what he says but 090 makes sense
  198. 198Fastest way to get plate on map?Touch airport, touch details, touch more, scroll up select approach, up arrow and to map
  199. 199If departing one airport and overlaying a nearby emergency approach to another which has multiple kinds, which one should you select?In case the reason for emergency diversion is total GPS failure, you should default to ILS or localizer for the sake of redundancy.
  200. 200How to fly a custom hold reference the one mentioned earlier hold west of muddy 4 NM legs?1.Custom content, enter custom user waypoint, call it something (muddw)
    2. Latitude muddy/270/4 save
    3. Go to map and drag course line and rubber band to new waypoint (between muddw and muddy)
