http://www.airnav.com/depart?http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0711/05320LDA19R.PDF Suppose I am approaching the KANAN NDB IAF from the south, maintaining 2500', which nav aid do I use to track 001 deg outbound? When I first looked at the chart I assumed it would be the CCR VOR 001 radial, but on closer...

Winds on approach by kevmor
I flew yesterday and did some practice approaches, and the winds were about 20 knots gusting to 26-28. I've flown almost all approaches so far in a different 172 that had a 180hp conversion. Because of the winds, I kept almost full cruising power on the descents to try and maintain my normal 90...

Solo IFR Currency by S Herman
Assuming VMC conditions, is it legal for a current IR pilot to file an IFR flight plan, and fly the flight *solo* wearing a hood, to meet currency requirements? Of course the hood would be off for take-off and upon completing an approach with a landing. Not that it's the safest or smartest way to...

Making the safe decision (AKA "I hate AIRMET ZULU") by Paul Tomblin
I'm parked at Barnes Muni (BAF) and I want to be home in ROC. But there is a AIRMET ZULU for ice in the clouds and precipitation above the freezing level, and there are low clouds layered up to the flight levels, and the MEA is above the freezing level. So it looks like we're going to be driving...

Throwaway GPS by Scott Moore
I thought for all of the GPS threads. Next year, 2006, the government mandate for GPS inclusion in cell phones starts. That means that eventually every cheap cell phone is going to have a GPS. GPS receivers are plentyfull now, but are getting set to proliferate into a commondity part. The time is...

"Are you worried about all those non-green colors on the radar?" by Peter R.
I actually received this comment today from an FSS (US Flight service) specialist when I called for an IFR flight briefing for a flight from Boston back to Syracuse, NY, early this afternoon. The Bridgeport FSS specialist was not joking either. He went on to say that too often pilots express...

Jeppview vs. paper Jepp Plates by G. Sylvester
time for me to renew my Jepp service. I usually get the California Express for $144 per year. Generally the work that I have to do is not that bad. My friend is going to be starting his IFR training soon and I was thinking maybe the two of us can get the Jeppview service that includes California...

IR written Primary/Secondary instrument questions by Jeremy
I'm studying for my written and having an awful time with the questions dealing with primary/secondary instruments for pitch/bank/power during various phases of flight. The distinctions appear to be senseless hair splitting, and I'm getting them mostly wrong in the practice tests. Some of this is...

Alternative to Jeppesen binders? by Ditch
Are there any alternatives to the Jeppesen binders? Even their plastic ones are kinda pricey. Thanks... -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American*

Approach to an LOM/IAF with PT (not vectors to final) by O. Sami Saydjari
The Approach in question is SDF RWY 2 at KISW. I was coming in from the south, nearly lined up with the inbound course of 021 degrees. I was in touch with ATC. The LOM/IAF is called NEPCO. The ATC asked if I wanted "direct NEPCO." I said yes. Within about 10 miles of the airport,...

2 pilot/small airplane CRM by Mitty
Can anyone point me to web or print resources with discussion of how to best utilize two pilots in small airplanes? Who does what, etc. I have found lots of airline-level material but really nothing that relates to flying light singles. Or maybe someone who regularly flies with a pilot spouse? ...

GPS 430 or 480? by Hankal
Just looked at my approach plates. Very few have NDB approaches, some are VOR DME, some require ADF. More and more now are GPS. Since I can use the GPS instead of DME for Some VOR approaches, is it not wise (prudent) to get an IFR certified GPS now? Should it be a Garmin 430 or a 480? The cost of...

backup cockpit lighting by Josef Burger
What do you use for extra and backup lighting in the cockpit for IFR flights at night? Some airplanes have pretty decent lighting built in. Others can have decent cockpit lighting and poor panel lighting. Others have shadows in poor locations, or areas of the panel/cockpit you'd really like to...

flying into snow showers without deice by Doug Carter
I'm presuming flying IFR in light snow in a Skylane RG with no deice equipment other that the pitot heat is OK if the temp is low enough to preclude sticking, perhaps -10c or less. This comes up as I contemplate flying to Minneapolis early next week. Just is case there could be other opinions...

Garmin 430 and ILS by Greg Esres
The Garmin 430 documentation says that you can use the GPS for course guidance on an ILS/LOC up until the final approach fix. Where exactly does the approval for this come from? My inclination would have been that in absence of an overlay, you could not use GPS anywhere after the IAF. Also,...

Outer Marker by Barry
When doing an ILS approach, with the glideslope, is it a requirement to be able to identify the outer marker or a substitute? FAR 91.175(k) lists the outer marker as one of the "basic ground components" and gives the acceptable substitutes, but doesn't explicitly say that it's required. The AIM...
