The FAA Compliance Program Explained This episode is sponsored by The Law Offices of Robert M. Strumor, LLC - you can find them at https://www.strumorlaw.com/ The Law Offices of Robert M. Strumor, LLC, handles various aviation matters, including FAA safety investigations and pilot medical certifications. You can find them on the web at https://www.strumorlaw.com/ Cruise Flight: Talking Points: Also referred to as the or "Compliance Program." (Previously ""Compliance Philosophy") • Works on the premise that errors should be corrected not punished • Voluntary Participation • Work with FAA inspector, do not ignore FAA investigations • Compliance Action may be as simple as coaching over the phone, or may have additional steps like a flight with aa CFI • Generally does not result in legal action • Generally not placed in the Pilot Records Database (PRD) • Compliance Actions are much less hassle than legal actions Filing an Aviation Safety Report (ASR, aka NASA Form) not required but a good idea. 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. If you love flying fiction that actually gets the aviation right, check out TROPIC ANGEL by Nate Van Coops. It's the first in a series of fast-paced aviation thrillers featuring seaplanes, shady airports, and a pilot who just wants a quiet life—but always gets pulled back into the action. The books are narrated by Scott Brick, one of the best in the business, and book three hits audio soon.

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. Accident Analysis: https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket?ProjectID=65858 Preflight: Sponsor Shout out. Cruise Flight: Talking Points: Why should you discontinue an approach? Make the decision!

March 7 2023 a low-wing piper and a high-wing piper on floats collided killing a flight instructor and student pilot in both planes.

It was after midnight and the lights of New York City could be seen from miles away as we flew over Republic Field on Long Island New York on our way to White Plains. I could make out the airport many miles away and the winds were calm. I caught myself saying "What could go wrong on this perfect night". I wish I didn't say that. In the flare to touchdown, I noticed things getting dark out of the corner of my eye. That is when I realized the time set for the lights had finished and I clicked the mic 7 times making the airport "come alive" again. This made me think about how infrequently many of us fly to non-towered fields and how we should review the procedures to know what to say and how to turn the lights on.

As a pilot who loves to fly, we try to protect our hobby through prudent planning, budgeting, and training. I often get asked questions about what to do when pulled over by the police to protect our pilot certificate. Should I take the sobriety test or not? To help me answer this question is Chris Pezalla from the Law Offices of Robert M. Strumor, LLC. Chris is an airline pilot and aviation attorney who has been a frequent guest on this and our sister podcast Aviation Careers Podcast. Before we begin a quick reminder that the new 2024 version of the scholarship guide has been published and is available by clicking on the scholarships guide on the right side of the screen at https://stuckmicavcast.com/ Cruise Flight: If I am pulled over and asked to take a sobriety test, what should I do? Be professional and truthful. Anything you say can end up in a police report. Always take the breathalyzer and blood tests. This advice is specific to pilots. Failing to get a BAC alcohol level recorded will cost you your medical certificate. Even if pleading guilty to the DUI, get a blood alcohol test. 14 C.F.R. § 61.15(e), which mandates that all Pilots, Flight Instructors, and Ground Instructors certified under FAR Part 61 to report any Motor Vehicle Action (MVA) related to drugs or alcohol to the FAA in writing within 60 calendar days. The 60-day period begins when your driver's license is revoked. What is a roadside suspension? Can I wait until after my court case to file the 60-day report? (No) Considerations for Light Sport, BasicMed, and Class III medical. Reporting on your next (and all future medical applications).
