Do airliners get substantially different weather briefings from the rest of us?
Airlines usually use a third party (although Northwest infamously used their internal weather department) to get their weather because there's so much data to be obtained.

Do you ask ATC for HILPT?
In the case of an airport like KRWL, if I clear you direct FIKLA, I expect you to do a hold in lieu of procedure turn.
If I clear you direct FIKLA, I've put you on a random GNSS route, and I have to …

Can I find the minimum IFR altitude based only on a SID plate?
It's really an apples to oranges question. A SID always has an initial segment below the minimum IFR altitude, because it is a departure route. STARs are similar in that regard. There is no implied mi …

As a Center controller, if I'd issued this clearance, I'd expect you to fly to the fix, then start your left turn into the five mile leg. It's unusual, as I would probably send you to the VOR first, t …

Does accepting a VFR Descent cancel IFR?
At KLAR, it was common for Lakes Air B190s to request "VFR climb-on-course", because the departure procedure sends you to the VOR to climb-in-hold.

In the Center, when vectoring for an ILS, we will give you an altitude that will be UNDER the glide slope (but at or above our minimum vectoring altitude) for the localizer intercept vector. Your clea …
