Jack says we have to be serious, so here goes:

You are in a turbo-prop coming in fast, what is the proper landing technique
Flare, but only a little bit. Slow down, taxi, park. Submit the paperwork. Update the CV. Get a job with Cathay.
(Some pilots prefer to slow down before landing, to avoid the Cathay scenario. But hey, each to their own.)

You are flying from A to B and begin to experience -FZRA, what should you do? i think climb
Do whatever you like. In a turboprop you'll be descending quite soon, regardless of the decision.

How do i calculate critical point, SGR or SAR?
I don't know how my UNS-1 calculates it. But in my last job, I knew how my Garmin did it. It was with GS and distance to each place.

When is your True Altitude lower than Indicated
Cold or low, look out below. (That's cold temp and low pressure, btw.) That's why Canadian and Antarctic aircraft have skis on the bottom - in cold weather, they sometimes fly so low, they bounce off hill tops. Skis make for soft bounces.

I'd better leave some unanswered for all youse blokes, so you don't feel left out an' all.
