I'm often get emails from Facebook Pilots or see postings in online forums asking whether to get the instrument rating in a glass cockpit or a round gauge airplane. It comes up so frequently that I decided to write about it in my new Max Trescott's GPS and WAAS Instrument Flying Handbook. I just posted a excerpt from …the book onto my blog so that everyone can see what I wrote about it. After reading it, feel free to post any thoughts here and/or cross post them to the comments section on the blog article as well.Подробнее
Max Trescott Do you know the recommended and alternate way to enter the traffic pattern at a non-towered airport? I thought Facebook Pilots might be interested in reading about the proper procedures. I was prompted to write this after coming nose-to-nose with an airplane this weekend that wasn't following the proper procedure for entering the traffic pattern.

Knowledge of the proper procedure for entering a traffic pattern at a non-towered airport continues to evade some pilots. Arriving aircraft should be at the appropriate traffic pattern altitude before entering the traffic pattern. ...
Max Trescott Another drunk pilot! Nothing new--this has been going on for decades. See the 1970s video that presaged the problem.

On Monday, British police arrested a United Airlines pilot after he failed a breathalyzer test. The pilot, who apparently had already boarded a Boeing 767, was preparing the fly the aircraft from London’s Heathrow airport to Chicago. ...

Just back from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Aviation Summit 2009 in Tampa, FL. Here's a link to the video of my interview on AOPA Live. AOPA Deputy Editor Ian Twombly interviewed me about Glass Cockpits like the Garmin G1000. We first talked about the benefits of why a pilot might want to learn to fly a g…lass cockpit equipped aircraft. Then we talked about strategies for training in the aircraft and ways to maximize proficiency between flights. Finally, we talked about transition training for these aircraft, which things people adapt to quickly, and which ones often require more time. I also taught seminars on Night Flying Safety and Tips for Flying GPS & WAAS Approaches and later signed my books at PilotMall.com Inc. It was great fun talking to Facebook Pilots and AOPA members and also catching up with good friends Rico and Will from A Pilot's Story-Documentary Film. Next year's AOPA Summit is in Long Beach, CA. See you there?Подробнее

Max Trescott Garmin just came out with 4 new portable aviation GPSs, essentially replacing all but the high-end of their portable aviation units. I've put together a table to make sense of the choices now available. Good news--it now costs less to get a XM Weather capable GPS from Garmin!

Max Trescott If the two pilots on NWA 188 did actually fall asleep at the controls, which bothers you most? That they fell asleep at the controls or that they may have lied afterwards to cover it up? Or are they in a no win position where they have to lie about?

The professionalism of two Northwest Airlines pilots who overflew their Minneapolis destination by 150 miles is seriously in question. While all the facts are not known, it’s quite possible that the pilots fell asleep at the controls. ...
Since January 15, 2009, Sully has needed no introduction. On that fateful day, US Air’s Flight 1549 had a chance encounter with geese that killed both engines, turning the Airbus A320 into a 150,000 pound glider. ...
Max Trescott Like a lot of people, I was interested in Sully Sullenberger's new book, Highest Duty. Few people know that I met Sully on the Hudson...well actually At the Hudson Books in the International terminal at SFO. In this post, I review his book and talk a little about meeting Sully.

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee reported the passage today of H.R. 3371, The Airline Safety and Pilot Training Improvement Act of 2009. One of the biggest changes is that it requires all airline pilots, including first officers, to hold an Airline Transport Pilot certificate, which requires pilots… to have a minimum of 1,500 flight hours. My informal survey of pilots suggests that most feel that the bill is the right thing to do, though it will increase the cost to become an airline pilot and may hurt fulltime flight instructors who will face increase competition from future airline pilots building time by teaching.Подробнее

While surfing the internet, I read an update on the David Letterman blackmail sex scandal. The key takeaway for me was that Steve Martin and Martin Short are on the show, so I’ll be watching tonight when I otherwise wouldn’t have—so that’s good for Letterman’s ratings. Is the n...
