Non-Towered Airport Flight Operations with CFI Wesley Chin

In this Princeton Flying School webinar, CFI Wesley Chin discusses how to safely operate at non-towered airports, with topics including:

• General operating procedures at non-towered airports (collision avoidance, traffic flow, straight-in approaches, and more)
• Recommended communication procedures when self-announcing on CTAF
• Traffic patterns at non-towered airports (determining traffic pattern direction, flow, entries and exits)
• Practice scenarios that you may encounter while operating at non-towered airports

My understanding when you are abeam the numbers is not that that is when you start descent, but rather that is when you pull power back and MAINTAIN altitude until you bleed off enough speed to deploy flaps then starting descent. I suppose there are a million variations to doing anything. Those variations could be considered options available to you if you find you are consistently too high or too low on final.
