NAFI NOTAMs #55 My Checkride Changed Everything ~Guest Blogger Beth Stanton The plan was to keep the date of my checkride a secret. If I bombed, I wouldn’t have to disclose that fact to the world.

NAFI NOTAMs #45 Train train train ~Guest Blogger Randall Williams, CFII/MEI Mentally we train emergencies so that we’re ready when they happen. That means that at least four times in preparation for each checkride we had simulated the failure of an engine, and at least twice, we had shut one down and restarted it.

Then determine the braking action from the published NOTAM or from airport officials, which uses numerical Condition Codes to identify the conditions. After a winter storm passes you’ll want to wait for the airport maintenance crew to clear the majority of snow from the runway.
