Garmin DME arc weidnress by
Dave Touretzky
I recently flew my first DME arc transition using my Garmin GNS-530.
It's always fun and challenging to figure out what the Garmin thinks
it's doing; see my list of "Garmin gotchas" for examples:
http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Garmin/
Below is the newly-added entry on my DME arc experience.

Using Excel or Access to keep track of students/records? by
BoDEAN
Any CFI's here use Excel or Access on their computer to keep a log of
their students and information on them and what you've covered with
them?
IF so, can you provide some tips on what a good starting ground would
be for designing a spreadsheet to do this.
Thanks

SLE LOC BC RWY 13: ARTTY Int NA for FAF by
Ben Jackson
The SLE LOC BC RWY 13 FAF is located at ARTTY:
http://myairplane.com/databases/approach/NorthWest/SLE_lbr13.pdf
In the notes it says "Artty Int not authorized for final approach fix".
However it sure does look like the FAF in the elevation view. So only
the fan marker can be used to identify the...

RAIM Prediction by

Is there a site that provides online RAIM predictions for the US? I know
that Flight Service is supposed to be able to provide this, but it would be
nice to have another source.

David Megginson
I was glancing at the IAP for the CYKF (Kitchener/Waterloo) ILS 25

noticed that the DH is very high:
ILS 1554 (500) 1 1/2
LOC 1560 (506) 1 1/2
CIRCLING 1560 (506) 1 1/2 1560 (506) 2 1700 (646) 2
Ouch! Does anyone know why...

GPS Altitude with WAAS by
Phil Verghese
I posted earlier about seeing differences of up to 500' between the
altitude shown on my Garmin GPS 196 (even while receiving WAAS) and my
altimeter. The GPS would consistently indicate higher than the
altimeter. Dan Luke suggested the cause might be non-standard
temperatures. After some more...

DME req'd on ILS (not ILS-DME) approach? by
Don Faulkner
Hi folks. I've got a bit of a puzzle here.
First off, I'm a student pilot, so maybe I haven't gotten to this yet.
Take a look at the ILS 18 plate for Springdale, AR (ASG):

First, note that the approach is "ILS RWY 18"
