I've had it. by
Bob Gardner
I hate cross-posting, but just this once I will give in to the temptation.
The rec.aviation newsgroups have become useless. There is very little "meat"
in the postings...sushidot is about the only poster interested in learning
anything. If anyone is looking for me, I hang out in the AOPA Forum,...

Flair vs flare by
Bob Gardner
Please understand that I am a geezer, and getting crotchety in my old age.
I have Summit Aviation's CD-ROM that includes just about every piece of
paper issued by the FAA...regulations, AIM, PTS, ACs, etc etc etc. I have
searched this resource for two words: flair and flair. My Webster's Ninth
had...

Strategy for icing due to freezing rain by
Bob Gardner
Are you familiar with Skew-T diagrams? They show a continual track of
temperature and dewpoint versus altitude as reflected by the RAOB balloon.
Might be better than depending on rules of thumb. Just Google Skew-T and you
will get plenty of links.

For [email protected] by
Bob Gardner
It is apparently not possible to communicate with you directly, so let me
explain how I got the 1.4 miles of protected airspace on the non-maneuvering
side of procedure turn airspace, and apologize for being wrong...the
protected airspace is 4.0 miles wide, giving the pilot even less reason to
work...

Compass turns revisited by
Bob Gardner
Got a little memory jog in the April 2006 Designee Update...other than
"Basic Instrument Flight Maneuvers," there is nothing in the 2004 (latest)
PTS about timed turns OR compass turns. Nothing. Nada. So instrument pilot
wannabes need not be concerned about demonstrating either one to the
examiner....

Standalone GPS by
Bob Gardner
To keep me from looking at every approach plate PDF in the country for some
research I am doing, would you folks give me some examples of standalone
(not RNAV(GPS)) approaches in your areas of operation?
Thanks.

PCAT value by
Bob Gardner
A Flight Training Device, such as the one you had demonstrated to you, is
harder to fly than the actual airplane when it is working perfectly. The
airplane is a pretty forgiving thing, short term...you can let go of the
controls and it will maintain trimmed pitch and bank for awhile. The FTD,...

GPS and Loran C by
Bob Gardner
Go to www.loran.org, and click on the March 2004 Newsletter....the USCG and
FAA have signed onto an agreement to retain Loran C as a backup to GPS.

finally got my Instrument Rating in Kansas by
Bob Gardner
In his book "WeatherFlying," Captain Bob Buck offers this advice:
First, fly from good weather to good weather; ceilings should be 1000 feet
or higher, tops 7000 feet or lower. Takeoff and landing, of course, are in
VFR conditions.
Second, bad weather to good weather...take off into an overcast,...

Don Brown and lat-long by
Bob Gardner
I know Don Brown. He is a good 'ol country boy, and an entertaining writer, but he is not a pilot. His aviation world is circumscribed by the AIM and Air Traffic Control Handbook, with no latitude (no pun intended) allowed. His Avweb column about filing IFR is almost perfect, but there are...

NA as alternate...redux by
Bob Gardner
Those who are interested in such arcana should look at the plates for
Moline, Illinois. Four approaches...all noted as not authorized for use as
an alternate. Hint: Don't file MLI as an alternate.

NACO charts - why have a reference circle? by
Bob Gardner
Their format allows them to depict navaids that would not be visible if the
whole thing was to scale....might have an IAF 20 miles out that would be off
the chart.

The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft? by
Bob Moore
Peter wrote
There are various documents such as the cert of airworthiness, and
(for an N-reg in Europe) the FAA radio license, which some say need to
be carried in original.
The Radio License doesn't come from the FAA, it is isued by the FCC.
