14 CFR Part 25 describes the requirements for an airliner like the 737 to be certified by the FAA. §25.1303 Flight and navigation instruments. (a) The following flight and navigation instruments must be installed so that the instrument is visible from each pilot station: ... (3) A direction indicator (nonstabilized magnetic compass). ...
The FAA treats large airplanes the same as any other airplane when it comes to VFR flight. They are required to maintain the same distance from clouds, only fly with the same minimum visibility, see and avoid other aircraft, etc. However, since only IFR flights are allowed above FL180 (without a special exemption), and large turbine airplanes are ...
The answer is: no, normal flights are not allowed under the canyon rim. If you look at the sectional chart, you see this notice: Searching through the CFR (Title 14, Part 91) brings up this Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 50-2 - Special Flight Rules in the Vicinity of the Grand Canyon National Park, AZ. Ther is also Supbart U of Part 93. The ...
As fooot has described, the aircraft has a mechanical compass, which will work even if the electrical systems fail. Though unlikely, it is possible to imagine a situation where the crew of an aircraft loses all heading indicators. In such a situation, ATC can still provide radar vectors. ATC will instruct the crew which turn rate to use, and when to start ...
As SkipMiller said, you can basically request flight following at any time and any certificate level - student, sport pilot, private pilot - the service is available to anyone. Also: We're told that FF is "workload permitting". I used to think that meant they'd give you services when they can. But I was wrong about that. Instead, once they accept you, ...

Since a student pilot posed the query, here are some various thoughts based on my experience with FF. I'm a low-time VFR pilot (500 hours). I rarely make short flights; mostly cc for 1-3 hours. (I wouldn't typically use FF for a 30-min hop). I consider FF a HUGE privilege that could easily be taken away if enough GA pilots abuse it, neglect it, or don't ...

The indicator must be calibrated to read zero when that tank is actually empty of all usable fuel (in level flight). Bouncing is fine as long as they do not bounce when the tank is actually empty. See regs: 23.1337 91.205

If I'm flying along in my C-152 and I am trying to go in a straight line through the "center" of C airspace, but the controller tells me to remain clear, what should I do? Well, the obvious answer is remain clear of the Class C airspace :-) HOW you remain clear is entirely up to you - you can go over, under, or around - you just can't go through, and I ...

Yes, it's legal to operate under VFR without any visual reference to the surface. It's called operating VFR over-the-top, not to be confused with VFR-on-top which is an IFR clearance. Over-the-top is defined in 14 CFR 1.1: Over-the-top means above the layer of clouds or other obscuring phenomena forming the ceiling. There are some exceptions and ...
When asked for altitude, you report the altimeter reading, utilizing the correct barometric pressure entered into the Kollsman window. ATC separates traffic based upon indicated altitude. The indicated altitude may include errors, such as the pressure ATC provides, but all aircraft in the area will presumably be using the same barometric pressure, and will ...

Use of a sectional chart and pilotage. You will have to be aware of where you are using ground references while cross referencing where the boundaries of controlled airspace lies in relation to those references. For example if you’re flying around to the west of John Tune (KJWN) airport in Nashville, TN and will notice the river bends near the airport. ...
Wait until the frequency isn't terribly busy on one of your flights, then just: "Unfamiliar with Creek waypoint, Request clarification" You can reasonably expect them to either explain the waypoint, or if they're busy, potentially give you a phone number or other contact info to try from the ground. You can also call an Airport Manager (801-852-6715) for ...
The answer, as best I can discern it from my training & my own experience, is "You can't!" -- every instructor I've flown with has said that cloud clearances are the most inadvertently-busted regulation, even when pilots are doing their best to obey the requirements. Our eyes and brain are really good at judging distance relative to landmarks and objects ...

Visual separation is addressed specifically in the AIM (see below). It is an ATC instruction sometimes given when the pilot reports another aircraft in sight. ATC is then able to instruct the pilot to "maintain visual separation" from the other aircraft, and it doesn't matter if they are IFR or VFR. Then it becomes quite simple: Don't hit the other ...

I'm in a similar boat to you and I just did my first XC from KDYL to KDDH a few months ago. Which was the first time I had been to an airport I did not go to during training. It was a lot of fun but here are a few things to consider, Get the G430 simulator as Ron mentions. You should always familiarize yourself with all systems in an aircraft before flying ...
Generally: By Using a (Physical) Map Aviation charts have landmarks and airspaces on them, which you can use to estimate where you're at. Other answers give great examples of this already, I don't have to repeat it. But I thought I could add some real life experience here: 1) Memorizing the Area Glider pilots, especially trainees, often fly without maps ...

It depends on the operator's "opspecs" which are negotiated between them and the FAA. Generally in the US the vast majority of part 121 scheduled airline operations are required to be IFR, but plenty of part 135 charters are permitted to fly VFR. They may be subject to weather minimums higher than the general VFR limits.
While distances are hard for many people to estimate, time is much easier for many people to estimate. Pull out your trusty E6B, and work out the distance in terms of seconds. For example, at a cruising speed of 110Kts (typical for many small GA student planes), 3 Miles is 1 minute 30 seconds 2000 feet is 10 seconds. So if you cannot see where you'll be ...

Special case: our university has an exceedingly good autopilot installed in all of our trainers. If one of our private pilot students gets into IMC by mistake, they hit the button marked "Straight & Level" and then let Otto fly the 180 turn to exit IMC. While not every student or private pilot has access to the level of cockpit automation that we do, ...
Long story short, ATC has no reason to contact you but if they were to try they'd probably use 121.5 (see below). You're not in their airspace and the whole purpose of that airspace is to ensure separation, so as long as you remain clear of it they won't be concerned about you although they'll probably report your position to the 747. As for your specific ...
