Commercial 250nm VFR flight - all 3 landings on the same day? by
Jim Macklin
The long flight does NOT have to be on the same day, it is
acceptable to have a stop, but it must be as it says below
landings at three places, with one a straight
line of 250 NM. I would log the flight as stages, with the
citation of 61.129 in the remarks, with notes that it was a...

How to adhere to this obstacle departure procedure? by
Peter R.
For several weeks now I have been flying to the Dunkirk airport (KDKK, NY
State, US) for business. Most weeks, the weather was VFR for my departure.
However, the last two weeks the weather was IFR and adherence to this
airport's obstacle departure procedure was required.
The procedure is very...

Chicago area from the southwest - advice? by

We're visiting friends who live in downtown Chicago next weekend and
I'm considering a few airports for our visit. Aside from lamenting

Printing off approach plates on demand? by

Hello,
I'm new to this IFR stuff and I'm wondering if I can subscribe to Jepp
or some other service and print off approach plates and airport
diagrams at my liesure? Ideally log into a web site every month, see
if the plate changed, and if so, re-print it. Seems easy, so I
imagine its...

GPS approach safety case by
Julian Scarfe
10ish years after overlay GPS approaches were introduced in the US, we in
the UK still have no GPS approaches. There must be a considerable body of
evidence collected on accidents, incidents and anomalies over the period
that GPS approaches have been in use. In particular, there may be...

What caused the VSI and ALT bouce in the IMC? by
cpu
Yesterday I flew a cessna 172 in the hard IFR. When I penetrated
apparently a heavy cumulonimbus rain cloud area, the VSI and altimeter
started to oscillate and bounce +/- 250 FPM (ALT oscilated 200~300 ft
up and back). The rate of bounces was about 3 to 4 Hz (3 to 4 times
per second). It lasted...

How do I fly this approach? by
Mxsmanic
Kindly take a look at the ILS runway 26 approach to Astoria (KAST). I tried
to fly this in my sim and I'm not at all sure that I did it correctly.
In my case, this is what I did: I was on V187 from Seattle at 6000. Once I
was within 25 nm of AST, I descended to 4300. About 12 nm away from AST,...

Approach Timing by

For those of you using handheld GPS's when you fly IFR:
Do you use the throttle to increase/decrease power to match the ground
speed to the approach speed table so the time is correct to the MAP?
Or,
Do you use the distance to the airport to determine/verify the MAP, even
though the time may not...

RNAV vs IFR GPS by
PaulaJay1
Coming into CLE the other day the controller ask if I had RNAV and I said no,
that I was /G ,that is, IFR GPS. He said that it was the same and gave me
direct.....
Is it the same, should I have answered yes to his question? Of course I can
navigate direct but do I have "RNAV"?
