VFR Scenario of the Day

Getting Night Current

You have promised to take a friend for a sightseeing flight around Cape Cod tomorrow evening.  However, you need one more takeoff and landing to a full stop to maintain your night currency.  And you’ll have to get that done tonight.
Brief the Scenario (VFR #1).

IFR Scenario of the Day

Here Comes the Weather

You will need to be on your game because the weather at your destination is IFR with a 600 foot ceiling and 1 ½ mile visibility.  Lateral guidance is available inbound on the approach but step downs and an offset approach course will keep you busy!
Brief the Scenario (IFR #2).

VFR Scenario of the day

Summer Camping at Johnson Creek

You have decided to attend a Recreational Flying Association (RAF) fly-in at Johnson Creek.  This will be the first time that you have flown into a mountain airstrip by yourself.  You handle the challenge on the inbound leg, land and have a great time with the other pilots.  But now it's time to leave...  
Brief the Scenario (VFR #2)

IFR Scenario of the day

Make it Rain:  Going Missed

You're leaving KSNA and the weather stinks.  At the DA on ILS 29R at KTOA, the weather stinks more!  Work pitch, power and configuration to navigate to the holding fix.
Brief the Scenario (IFR #3b).

VFR Scenario of the Day

Shenandoah Sortie

You are flying from the airport at Front Royal (KFRR) to New Market, VA (8W2) for some avionics work.  Your route takes you through a valley where a stationary front, running from southwest to northeast, parallels your course.  There is also a low-pressure center forecasted to move to the northeast along this front, but you think you can beat any associated weather to New Market.  
Brief the Scenario (VFR #3).

IFR Scenario of the Day

Situational Awareness

This flight from Santa Barbara (SBA) to Oxnard (OXR) is short but it has all the makings of a challenging IFR trip, especially on the approach.  Repeat;  where am I now, what's next, what do I need to do to be ready?  Repeat...
Brief the Scenario (IFR #10).

VFR Scenario of the day

Plenty of Spice at Spicewood

This scenario has you flying an extended left base to RW 17 at 88R.  As you turn final you'll wonder what happened to the asphalt crew.  That's a narrow landing strip and the wind is making a centerline touchdown darned important.  
Brief the Scenario (VFR #5).

IFR Scenario of the day

Straight Out of Annual

The club’s 172 is out of annual. New vacuum system, overhauled engine, new GPS Nav/Com.  It's bullet proof.  Take your fine steed from Santa Barbara (SBA) back to Santa Monica, CA (SMO).  Once again, SOCAL’s awesome TEC route system saves the day and you’re confident that the cleared route will be KWANG CMA VNY V186 DARTS at 5000’.  Pick up the clearance, get going!  
Brief the Scenario (IFR #10).

VFR Scenario of the day

To Turn or Not to Turn:  What is the Answer?

You’ve just taken off from McCall, Idaho (KMYL) for another $300 weekend hamburger when the engine quits.  The silence is deafening but you’ve got to cut through the noise and make a quick decision.  Can you make it back?  If not, then where do you go?  You’re the PIC so what’s your plan?  
Brief the Scenario (VFR #9).

IFR Scenario of the day

Partial Problem

You’re enroute IFR from Monterey, CA to Santa Barbara, CA on a turbulent day in hard IMC.  You say, bring it on...  OK.  Not for the faint of heart or weak of bowel, this scenario will really push your skills as you deal with turbulence in IMC and then a vacuum failure to boot. Stay in control as your vestibular system goes out to lunch.  Use the remaining avionics and ATC to use to produce a safe outcome.
Brief the Scenario (IFR #13).

Brief the Scenario (VFR #1).

IFR Scenario of the Day

Here Comes the Weather

Just when you thought it was safe to be back in the system the weatherman throws you a curveball.  You will need to be on your game because the weather at your destination is IFR with a 600 foot ceiling and 1 ½ mile visibility.  Lateral guidance is available inbound on the approach but step downs and an offset approach course will keep you busy!.
Brief the Scenario (IFR #2).
