Windmilling Prop & Vacuum Pump by Matt Young
Ok, a curious question just popped in my mind. Say that one was flying IFR in a piston single, maybe a 172 or 182. While enroute, either in actual or above a cloud layer, the engine fails. Will the windmilling prop keep the vacuum pump going enough to make the AI and DG usuable during descent...

will this fly? by Lee Elson
Please excuse the cross post, but the topic might be of interest to several groups. I'm wondering whether providing light aircraft transportation services (people and/or cargo) and consulting to small businesses is likely to be a successful approach to setting up a very small aviation business. In...

Will the FAA be the next victim of the Government AX? by NOIRS
We are one Mid-Air away folks WASHINGTON - Hurricane Katrina turned FEMA into a "symbol of a bumbling bureaucracy" so far beyond repair that it should be scrapped, senators said Thursday. They called for creation of a new disaster relief agency as the next storm season looms on the...

WIDOE by Jon Woellhaf
Last Monday (16 Aug 2004) I was on an IFR flight from Oakland, CA to Ogden, UT. About thirty minutes from Ogden, I heard Salt Lake Center call a Lifeguard flight and clear him direct to (what sounded like) widow. The pilot asked for spelling and Center said Whiskey, India, Delta, Oscar, Echo....

Wideband Antennas by CHANGE USERNAME TO westes
Will a wideband aviation antenna, that receives across 50 MHz up to over 1000 Mhz, be useful for VHF and UHF TV reception as well as aviation frequency reception? Can such an antenna be used by multiple devices listening to different frequencies at the same time? -- Will westes AT...

Why would someone choose to fly VFR on top? by Ron Garret
Subject line says it all. In light of the fact that VFR on top subjects you to both VFR and IFR constraints, why would anyone ever choose to fly VFR on top? I can only think of two possible reasons: 1. There happens to be clear air at a +500 foot altitude and not at the corresponding...

Why some approaches are NA as alternates by Ben Jackson
What is the reason for an approach (or a whole airport) to be NA as an alternate? Is there some attribute an approach has to have to be worthy of being filed as an alternate? The one that got me wondering was KAST (Astoria, OR) which is NA except for the VOR Rwy 8 when it also has ILS/LOC and GPS...

3 Attachment(s) Why small radius collects ice faster? by Andrew Sarangan
Is there an explanation for why small radii objects collect ice faster? The NASA icing video simply states this fact without giving an explanation. I have found the same with most other sources as well.

Why publish a plate for an OTS approach? by Paul Tomblin
I'm just reading IFR Refresher, and it has a report on an accident that happened after a King Air was cleared for an SDF approach at KSME. According to the article, at the time the A/FD and NTAP listed the SDF as "Out of Service (OTS) - Indefinitely", and had been for four years, but the plate was...

Why Not Use PC To Make Glass Cockpit? by Le Chaud Lapin
Standard disclaimer applies: I still have my copy of Flight Training next to the porcelain throne. Ahem. However, as I flip the pages of this magazine, I cannot help but think that companies like Garmin are getting off a bit easy. Being a software developer, I am very suprised to discover that...

Why no stepdown fix in GPS? by Roy Smith
I flew the KFWN VOR or GPS-A (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0506/05412VGA.PDF) this morning with a CNX-80. Annoyingly, ANKLE (the stepdown fix) is not in the database. You get SAX-MAGLV. It seems like SAX-ANKLE-MAGLV would make a lot more sense. Is the some reason it's left out of the database?

why is intercept altitude labeled "LOC only"? by Gary Drescher
In the NACO plate for ASH ILS 14, the GS intercept altitude (1800') is labeled "LOC only". How can a GS intercept altitude apply to the LOC approach and not to the ILS approach? Is this a charting error? http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0610/05036I14.PDF --Gary

Why is ADF required for KSAC ILS Rwy 2 SIAP? by Mark Hansen
There's a NOTAM out for KSAC ILS-2 which states that the following note should be added to the planview: "ADF Required". Why is ADF required for this IAP? The marker beacon should tell you when you're over the LOM, and the missed approach procedure says you need to hold at the VOR or the NDB. Is...

Why is ADF or Radar Required on MFD ILS RWY 32 Approach Plate? by S. Ramirez
Does anyone know why the Mansfield OH MFD ILS RWY 32 approach plate has ADF or Radar Required written on it? There is speculation on another forum that ADF is required to establish the FAF for the localizer approach, but I argued that it is not required for the ILS approach, since intercept of the...

Why is a standard hold right turns? by Roy Smith
It has always struck me odd that a standard landing pattern is left turns and a standard hold is right turns. Having a left patterns for landing makes a bit of sense, since the pilot is on the left side of the cockpit and has a better view of the runway making left turns. But, for IFR holds,...

Why are some NDBs not displayed on Low Alt Enroute Charts? by Adlerson
Subject says it all. For instance, here in Southern California, the NDB Petis is on the low chart, while ElMonte is not. Anyone know why? Is it because of monitoring, or lack of? Or is it because one is part of the enroute structure, and the other one not? Or because one has approaches involving...

Why are non precision approaches not lined up? by Greg Farris
The title just about says it - I've always wondered WHY many non-precision approaches (not talking about LOC only here, but VOR, VOR/DME, NDB etc) are not lined up with the runway heading. Sometimes it looks as though the approach desginers have gone out of their way to make sure the non-precision...

Why an NDB approach with a miss to an intersection? by Ben Jackson
What's the point of the CVO NDB 17? It's an off-airport NDB approach to a runway that also has ILS, VOR and GPS approaches, all with lower minimums. Like all but one other approach (a GPS approach from the south) it has a missed approach that takes you to an intersection hold about 9 miles to the...
