    Mr. Lake I have a question for you regarding the check ride for IFR. My question is if you have auto pilot in your aircraft during the checkride, can you use it during the check ride? Let me clarify that for a moment. What I mean by using the auto pilot, when in certain situations where you can temporary turn on the auto pilot say to punch in a fix and then turn it off and the hand fly. I hope that makes sense for the asking.

    • @SethLakeDPE
      @SethLakeDPE 2 дня назад

      Great question! If your aircraft is equipped with a operable autopilot that is capable of flying an approach most examiners will have you fly at least one approach using that autopilot. Additionally, several tasks within the instrument ACS specifically call our the use and evaluation of your ability to manage auto flight systems. Personally, I think it's solid single pilot resource management to turn the AP on during high workload tasks like briefing and preparing for an approach. If the evaluator feels you are using the AP too much, they may decide to simulate a AP failure though so make sure you don't use it too much. Appendix 3 only requires that one non-precision approach be flown from the IAF without the use of the AP. Hope this answers your question!

    Question regarding AC61-142 (Common Purpose): Is the need to build hours not considered common purpose? I can pick anywhere on the map to fly to build hours. Why would flying someone to any destination and using pro-rata not be common purpose. I needed to build hours anyway and the flown destination was just as good as any for the purpose of building hours.

    • @SethLakeDPE
      @SethLakeDPE 2 дня назад

      This is a good question and one that gets asked often. The building of hours is not considered a common purpose by the FAA. Paragraph 9 of AC 61-142 states: "...a private pilot have a common purpose with his or her passengers and have his or her own reason, other than the receipt of compensation for the flight, for traveling to the destination." This is also discussed in the 1985 Chero LOI where the FAA says pilots may not carry expense-sharing passengers to a destination at which they have no particular business. I hope this answers your question!

    If you are applying for commercial and have an instrument rating, you need to select both airplane single engine land and instrument airplane under "click here to edit US Standard Pilot Certificate information" under page 3. I recently got my instrument but it has not been processed yet. Without modifying this current certificate information, my commercial would be issued with the 50nm vfr day with passengers restriction. I discovered this on the summary page.

    Thanks for this deep dive. I'm curious about the pressure sensors at each bearing and how they relate to the reading at the oil pressure gauge. Does the gauge show the reading of the sensor with the lowest pressure?

    • @SethLakeDPE
      @SethLakeDPE 27 дней назад

      There is only a single oil pressure transducer in the engine, no one for each bearing. To quote Thomas Sowell: "There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs." This especially applies to aviation. More pressure sensors would increase complexity which would decrease reliability. One is good enough, but knowing there is only one pressure sensor is good information for a pilot when dealing with a abnormal situation.

      That is a good perception on your part but simply being to willing to move passengers for compensation is illegal. You don't actually have to do it. This is a very gray area but the FAA has taken actions against pilots who showed simple intent but never actually flew anyone.
