Save the confirmation number, and save a copy of the report. From FAA website: “The Compliance Program represents a focus on using — where appropriate — non-enforcement methods, or “Compliance Actions.” A Compliance Action can be described as FAA’s non-enforcement methods for correcting unintentional deviations or noncompliance that arise from factors such as flawed systems and procedures, simple mistakes, lack of understanding, or diminished skills. A Compliance Action is not a legal adjudication, nor does it constitute a finding of violation.” • Information provided can be used in future investigations and legal proceedings by the FAA, but compliance is almost always the best option After Landing Checklist: Pick Of The Week: https://amzn.to/446pp13 He’s a former Blackhawk pilot just trying to put his past behind him—but when a plane goes missing, Luke Angel is the only one who can untangle the truth.

Runway Incursions, unstable approaches, and simple misjudgment during landing are the main reasons we need to go around, but are you ready to execute a go-around maneuver properly? In my over 25 years of instructing recreational, business, and airline pilots, I have noticed a consistent trend: we don’t perform discontinued approaches very well. In this episode, we discuss how and why you should go around. Additionally, we will give you tips and tricks to execute the go-around maneuver safely and properly.

If you like exciting action-packed airshows that give back to the local community you will love the Florida International Airshow in Punta Gorda Florida. Today I am speaking with Denise Dull, President of the airshow who has led a team to help grow into one of the best air shows in the United States. We will discuss the challenges and keys to success in creating, growing, and continuing the legacy of an airshow.
