I’m kind of wondering how to zero in on which specific remedial airmanship issues might pop op the most.

I’ll thow out another few rough examples/guesses (so maybe it’s not 5; maybe several different categories would have to be touched upon…)

  1. How do you use the runway aiming marks and touchdown zone during approach?

  2. What’s the maximum recommended angle to intercept the localizer?

  3. Is it recommended you intercept the glideslope flying at constant altitude?

  4. What is a reasonable recommended altitude agl to intercept the glideslope?

  5. When do you use check-in with ATC?

Bro u getting very serious here, I like it.

I would say many request visual rather than ILS approach

About how to intercept the glideslope, my main thought was on how to avoid the rough transition sometimes experienced when hitting the appr button.

26

My Questions :

  1. What is TO-2 Thrust Setting in a 737 mean ?

  2. What is the maximum ILS Localizer Intercept Angle ?

  3. What does “Max Continuous Thrust” refer to ?

  4. What is Vref ?

  5. What is a “Static” T/O

You can Intercept the GS when descending

To be honest, you had me checking on the details of some of your points (to fill in gaps in my knowledge). Quite interesting.

why you gotta do him like that

Is this a complete sentence?

The strategy is to fly at a constant altitude below the glideslope at like 160-170 IAS. For example, if I’m going for a 0 MSL airport I might fly at 2500. Then, once I am adequately close to but still below glideslope, I assume like -200 FPM and then hit APPR. This avoids the sharp upwards motion that often happens when you activate APPR too early and intercept from below and also stops the dive that happens if you intercept at the right time but flying at a constant altitude (because the aircraft needs time to start descending thus meaning you will be above the GS and have to dive a bit).

Yeah, so I think the video tutorial recommends level at 3000 or so until the glideslope comes down to you (hitting appr before that?). There seems to be some ambiguity that has caused repeat questions over time about what exactly avoids the bumpy transition, like as you just described. That’s why I threw that one in as an example.

I was kind of curious about an overview of these “80/20” kind of issues: the 20% of airmanship issues that cause 80% of the airmanship related questions/issues, roughly speaking.

So for these kind of core aircraft control/atc/(perhaps)nav issues, I just thought it’s interesting to wonder what a carefully distilled list of the cream of the cream of the cream of such issues might look like. An 80/20 cheat sheet maybe. Though I think it takes digging. The pilot attitude kind of questions I wasn’t really thinking about (admittedly I wasn’t clear about that), because I wouldn’t know how to test for that. That seems maybe like a psychological test which is tough if not impossible, which I think is what you were expressing before.

I consulted a certain “crystal ball” about most common misconceptions that may arise in the areas airmanship, to help me sus out what I mean by that. The resulting possible broad categories were, distilled to the bare minimum:

  1. improper procedures,
  2. airspace regulations,
  3. communication,
  4. traffic pattern,
  5. aircraft performance
  6. situational awareness.

That may or may not have been obvious to begin with. This pursuit isn’t to be critical of anything or anyone. It’s just a “what if” curiosity, directed by the topic question.

The above is 6 categories. Now I’m still wondering what the top 5 questions from those would be, or if maybe they should be 10 questions.

I guess part of my thinking was something like: if I’m a brand new user of IF with, say, not a whole lot of aviation experience, and I progressed through time to become quite capable, which points that I had learned gave me the highest octane expansion of capability.

  • Is mayonnaise an instrument found in your cockpit?

No, it’s the turbine air intake on the Beach King Air 350
