Summary 206 Max talks about airplane accidents caused by helicopter vortices. Pilots should exercise extreme caution near helicopters, especially at low altitudes. Although these kinds of accidents aren't really common, there is about one accident per year. It appears helicopters may churn up air in all directions, and that the location of their wakes may not be quite as predictable of those from airplanes.

Summary 203 Max talks about the different ways your aircraft can get misfueled, and the steps you should take every time you get fuel, to ensure you don't get misfueled. A Baron 58P that recently crashed at Palo Alto airport, appears to have been misfueled. Sumping the fuel doesn't guarantee you'll catch a misfuelling. Also a 50/50 mix of 100LL and Jet looks the same as 100LL.

If you have a question you'd like answered on the show, let listeners hear you ask the question, by recording your listener question using your phone.

Summary 199 Max talks about the accident rate, common mistakes, and offers tips for flying IFR circling approaches. ICAO says circling approaches have 25 times the risk of a straight-in approach with vertical guidance. The size of the protected circling area changed in 2013. In the circling area, TERP requires a 25° bank angle. Pilots often fly a downwind that's too close and overshoot the base to final turn.

Summary197 This is a follow up to #196 on Mountain Flying. Most aircraft need to be leaned prior to takeoff in high density altitude. Turbocharged aircraft and older SR20s don't need leaning. Max discusses many methods of leaning before takeoff. Always start with your POH to see what method it recommends. If it doesn't recommend a specific method, then you may want to use one of the methods discussed here.
