Argus 5000CE question by
Francois Marquis
Hello,
Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus
5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but
functionality-wise they are about the same. (minus the color, of course)
My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000
unit,...

Logging PIC time as student instrument pilot in IMC by
Greg Esres
I recently realized that I should not have included any "actual"
(IMC) time recorded in my logbook as PIC time while I was an
instrument student.
Why not? If you were actual, then it was PIC.
how about adding a "corrective" (new) entry?
That's what I do. Just make +/- entries to total...

Controller Forum by
Greg Esres
NATCA (National Air Traffic Controllers Association) runs a web-based
forum where you can ask questions of controllers.
Seems like a great resource, but it's presently highly underutilitzed.

I'm sure pilots and controllers would benefit if the site became more
highly...

IR checkride story! by
Guy Elden Jr.
Ok, time for me to fill y'all in on today's adventure... my IR checkride!
First, let me thank all of those (in rec.aviation.student at least!) who
have posted their PPL checkride stories. I've read a few over the past week
or so, and they helped calm me down quite a bit in preparation for today....

Why is ADF required on ILS approach? by
Rich Raine
Wait! He can use a GPS in place of the ADF on that approach. Isn't that
correct?

You are in IMC, when *everything* fails! Now what? by
Thomas Pappano
Hello All,
There has been much discussion here about the obvious benefits of
redundant systems, engines, vacuum, electrical etc., when flying in IMC.
We've also read NTSB reports of crashes of very well equipped planes
where the pilot did not make use of redundant instruments.
As for myself and...

IFR On Top by
Newps
You mean VFR on Top. The main advantage is you get to pick your
altitude and go much lower against headwinds. Since there is no
separation provided by ATC there is a lot more route flexibility.

IFR Simulators - non-PCATD by
Maule Driver
I'm getting ready to buy a new PC and want to set it up for a little IFR simulation work. Not looking for a PCATD or anything. I'm thinking the latest version of MS Flt Sim and the appropriate control peripherals. I'm not a gamer - really just looking for a little procedure training.

Lost comm - Arrival by
Michael 182
I know I should know this, but I just can't remember. If I lose comm on an
assigned arrival do I step down to the altitudes on the arrival segments? If
it visual can I "assign myself" the visual approach?
Thanks,

Logging instrument approaches by
Slav Inger
It's been awhile since I flew VFR, and having taken a cursory look
through Part 61 I didn't see anything to the contrary, so I'm going to
throw this out and see what you guys think. It's my understanding that
I can take a VFR-only airplane on a local VFR trip with a PP-rated
safety pilot on board,...
