OT - Noisy Thunderstorm - Video by
[email protected]
One popped completely out of the abyss of the MS skies last night.
It rates up there as one of the noisiest ones I have encountered much
less video'd since moving to MS. The thunder pegged the sound
capability of the camera as some distortion is heard throughout...

Passed CFI Knowledge Test by
Kobra
Flyers,
I just passed the CFI Knowledge test today but I have some questions for the
group. Sure I could look these up, but lets stimulation some discussion.
Here are some questions that I do not know if I answered correctly. The
verbiage may not be word-for-word but you should get the idea:

Cancelling IFR in Bravo airspace by
Terence Wilson[_2_]
On a few occasions I have filed a departure procedure to a nearby
intersection just to get on top (comments section reads "IFR to VFR on
top"). After breaking out of the clouds and advising ATC of the bases
and tops, I usually cancel IFR and proceed "own nav" with flight
following. Which brings me...

Couple of videos (Cessna 182 out of Oakland) by
Terence Wilson[_2_]
During a training lesson last Sunday out of KOAK I attached a
camcorder to the dash of the club's new Cessna 182. In the first clip
you'll see us passing through a layer at 1000 AGL to get on top. The
second video shows our flight from Byron back to Oakland, finishing
with the ILS 27R approach....

IFR to Oshkosh without an IFR reservation by
Paul Tomblin
I left it too late to get a reservation. Can I just file to FAH VOR and
then proceed VFR to Ripon and join the conga line?

ASR Approach - Doing the Controller a Favor by
[email protected]
I was asked if I would accept an ASR approach into a satellite airport
for controller training. I said, sure no problem. I got a wide
vector that put me on a 15 mile final. The controller gave me a "10
miles from airport, complete pre-landing checklist". I've never heard
that one before - it...

OT Lightning video by

Good time for admiring the skies when we shouldn't fly anyway.
My second attempt at putting together a video of lightning I took at
my house. Mother nature was very cooperative as I had a cell
approximately 5 miles to my west "strutting 'er stuff" with at minimum
1 Cloud to Cloud every 2 seconds...

Garmin 430 question by
[email protected]
I was wondering how to program this into the 430, and if it is even
possible. Say you are east of a VOR and ATC gives you a vector to
intercept the 270 radial FROM the VOR and track away from the VOR on
that radial and intercept an airway. The clearance went something
like this:
"Glasair 470XX,...

Initial Contact Question by
blackboxman
I know this is an IFR forum but your opinion is appreciated.
Scenario: you are receiving VFR flight following and are handed off to
another controller. You call up the new controller to make initial
contact. According to a controller I overheard yesterday, this callup
is incorrect:
