Summary

Many pilots think that if a turbocharger fails, it’s no big deal and just represents a slight loss of power, which may be inconvenient, but is in no way an emergency. They are dead wrong! All turbocharger failures must be treated as an emergency requiring an immediate landing. We’ll talk about a pilot who didn’t know this and as a result destroyed an airplane. And we had more feedback on entering the traffic at non-Towered Airports. Not everyone likes the FAA preferred entry for crossing over the field at 500 feet above pattern altitude and then turning to enter on the 45. As one listener writes, “just because ‘it takes longer’ is not an emergency. Short of a true emergency there really is no good reason to deviate from the standard procedure in my book.” Plus listener questions. A listener asks about TAWS, the Terrain Awareness Warning System and how it works. We explain the different TAWS functions, and how they help keep you safe. And an instrument pilots asks about how to activate an instrument approach on his Garmin GPS. Click here for the survey. Tell us what flight planning tools you use when planning a longer flight. Please visit my new Patreon page and help me with my goal of funding the creation of two apps for my show, one for Apple and one for Google Play, so that non-techie pilots can find the show in the app store. You can Dictate a listener question from your phone and I’ll try to answer it on a future show, or send an email. News Stories

0:00.0	Hello, and thank you for joining me today. Coming up in the news, the president is either on vacation or not, depending on who you listen to, but regardless, a 17-day-long TFR is gumming up the works over New Jersey.
0:13.6	And there's a new competitor for the Cessna 172, and you'll never guess where the Chinese are building a new general aviation aircraft factory to turn out a new version of the old venerable Piper Cub.
0:25.4	And a part of general aviation that you're all familiar with just turned 90 years old.
0:30.8	Plus more listener questions and email.
0:32.9	Welcome to Aviation News Talk where we talk about yes sirree, general aviation.
0:38.9	I'm Max Truscott. I'm here to help you you get smarter faster to try and keep you safe as a pilot or student pilot by sharing my over 40 years
0:44.3	of experience as a licensed pilot author and the 2008 national flight instructor of the year
0:49.5	today we're going to talk about turbochargers and the emergencies they can create even Even if you're not flying with a turbocharger now, you may in the future.
0:57.8	And I want to share with you some of the common misconceptions that could save your life.
1:01.7	Plus, listener questions on TAUS and activating legs of instrument approaches.
1:06.1	All this and more, and the news starts now.
1:36.0	From General Aviation News.com, there's a presidential TFR, and it's huge. It's affecting virtually every airport in northern New Jersey, all the way from the New York state border down almost to the Philadelphia area.
1:44.4	And it's also completely shut down two airports, Solberg and Somerset. Now, if you don't think this affects you, if you live in any of the states bordering New Jersey,
1:49.1	please listen up. Let me give you an example that occurred out here in California a few years ago.
1:54.7	There was a mechanic in Sacramento who was delivering an aircraft to Byron, which is quite a ways away from the San Francisco Bay Area, and he was totally unaware of a presidential TFR that was
1:59.7	in effect, which had the normal 30-notical mile radius.
2:02.8	Well, it turned out that Byron was just barely inside that 30-mile radius TFR.
2:08.4	And the Secret Service met him.
2:10.4	And that was an automatic 90-day suspension of his license.
2:13.6	So you can figure any time you bust a presidential TFR, you can probably kiss your
2:17.6	license goodbye for about 90 days. Now, this TFR is huge. It affects some of the border airports
2:24.7	in Pennsylvania. And the National Business Aviation Association, NBAA, has asked the FAA to develop
