In the June AOPA Pilot "State of General Aviation" issue, Bruce Landsberg gives a gold star to Cessna, for their new production singles, which, according to the article, have not suffered a single fuel mismanagement accident. Well, I know of one near-miss, which could have broken that record, and...

I have another KAP 140 question for the group. Is there a way to have a dual axis w/ pre-select model of the KAP140 act as though it is only a single axis? Sometimes I want to engage the AP in heading mode but take care of pitch myself. Engaging the AP in heading mode makes the AP automatically...

I recently made an inquiry to Garmin regarding their new requirement that GNS 430/530 owners pre-order the WAAS upgrade prior to November 2005 to guarantee the $1500 price their marketing department has been stating for the past 2 years... Keeping in mind the WAAS upgrade for these boxes are...

Hi Folks- Without descending into the madness of the other thread, I have a couple of questions regarding the use of a VFR GPS while IFR. Hypothetically, let's say I was flying IFR from Santa Monica, CA to San Jose, CA (SMO to RHV). The weather is CAVU. I am filed /A and cleared via a fairly...

I just installed a GDL69A data link with my 530, which works great. It gives Nexrad radar as well as graphical METARs, and superimposes the information on the basic map pages. It is also supposed to provide text metars, but this will not be available until "sometime in the future" Worst, I have...

VFR this time. The French Aviation Authority publishes really excellent VFR approach plates. They are very serious about it - the revision cycles are monthly, and the level of detail and accuracy is impressive. Nevertheless, there is one airport I don't really want to fly into. Something...

This seems to be my week for stupid CNX-80 ****. Returning to HPN today, I asked for the ILS-34. I punched up PROC, then selected ILS-34/Vectors and executed it. A little while later, I decided I wanted to fly the ILS on the #2 NAV, and just monitor my progress on the CNX-80 by having it...

A month or two ago there was a thread about CDI indicating north/south vs. left/right in particular on front course and back course LOC. I'm studying for the IFR written and not in a single place does the FAA use north/south. Again I'm banging my head wondering does a lowly IFR student like me...

Last week I again experienced ATC confusion near Phoenix. Background: On 6 Apr 09 I used AOPA's flight planner to plan IFR from Longmont, CO (KLMO) to Falcon Field, Mesa, AZ (KFFZ) via the low altitude route HYGEN V85 FQF V389 PUB V611 FTI V60 OTO V12 ABQ V190 BARGN at 12,000. When I attempted...

Sitting here in central Taiwan, I bet on my VHF scanner I can hear flights above China talking to controllers, if they are high enough in the air. Frequencies to monitor would be Hong Kong 121.3, Guangzhou=?, Shanghai=?, Xiamen=?, Fuzhou=?. A Google search failed. I also notice 118-136 Mhz....

Is it normal practice for a Mode S transponder to display the aircraft tail number to ATC? I ask because I thought it did, but recently on flight following the controller seemed to have difficulty getting my number correct over the radio.

Ok, I am trying to brush off some of the rust and getting some recurrent training. The task was to plan a flight, KLOU-KLEX-KJVY. (Louisville,KY). So, I looked up the STAR Clegg2 ( http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/00697CLEGG.PDF), and the charts. Clegg2 *seems* to make the KLOU-KLEX simple- just...

V139 goes from southern NJ to eastern Long Island, cutting off the corner of the coastline at New York, heading out about 40 miles over the ocean. I just happened to notice that it's got MOCA's defined in addition to the MEA's. The segment between MANTA and PLUME, for example, has a MOCA of 2000....
