"Best forward speed" approaches by
Ben Jackson
A few questions about fast (by spamcan standards) approaches in busy
terminal environments:
1) Is there any point in practicing any "best forward speed" approaches
besides the ILS?
2) How fast is fast enough? Obviously 120kts is better than 90kts
(maybe 1.5m less time after you turn onto the...

"Blocked" by
Lee Elson
I'd like some input from those of you who are familiar with the
working ATC environment.
In a situation where a transmission to/from ATC is "interfered with"
by a second transmission I've always believed that it is useful to let
all parties know that the tranmission was blocked, even if I...

"center" or "approach" - why important by
[email protected]
In a recent flight, I received the handoff, "27D change to Chicago
Center on xxx.xx" Next call, "Chicago Center, Arrow 27D, 3000"
Response: "Arrow 27D, this is not Chicago Center, this is Chicago
Approach". Me "Arrow 27D, correction noted"
Is this an issue of sufficient importance to waste the...

"cleared to ... when direct ..." by
John Harper
Got an odd clearance the other day, on climbout from Santa Monica
(IFR but in perfect VMC): "climb and maintain 6000 when direct
Ventura". I took this to mean that someone would later clear
me direct VTU, whereupon I would climb. However I never got
such a clearance, and later an evidently nervous...

"Direct when able" by
Mitchell Gossman
When instructed to fly a heading then "Direct XYZ when able", does a
controller expect a call when you are in fact able and will be turning
on course? Usually it is a trivial turn since the heading they give is
a good guess for direct course.
I've had conflicting experience. One time after being...

"Going for the Visual" by
O. Sami Saydjari
A while back, I was with an experienced pilot, IMC, descending to land
at my home airport. The airport is not in an environment where ATC will
give vectors to final. As we approached, ATC asked which approach we
wanted. He said that he was "going for the visual." The ceilings were
right at the...

"K" in VOR identifier by
Jack Cunniff
I had a first today; flying VFR across New England on this clear winter
day, my route took me over Bradley, KBDL. I always tune VORs during my
flights, so tuned Bradley's VOR.
Identifying, though, was interesting. The morse identifier was FOUR
characters, the last three of which were B D L. I had...

"normal" procedure for pop-up filing by
paul kgyy
I was taught that, if I needed to file an IFR flight plan in the middle
of a trip, I should contact FSS first to file and get clearance, then
contact ATC. On the other hand, I hear frequent references in
rec.aviation to pilots who just contact ATC directly. Does this depend
on how busy ATC is -...

"Refusing to Handle You" by
Mike Granby
So, an interesting thing happened today. I am at a fly-in at Hagerstown
and about to head back to my home-base at York (THV). I can see from
the PC they had there that there is a line of heavy rain and possibly
thunderstorms blocking my route back. There is no way around it to the
north, but there...

"Stand Alone" Boxes (Garmin 430) - Sole means of navigation - legal? by
Richard
Probably this has been answered in this forum previously, but I can't find
it. Sorry.
I recently got into a friendly discussion with a knowledgable CFII who said
a Garmin 430 could not be legally used as "sole means of navigation".
Looking back, I think what he means is that "GPS" (even IFR...

"W" is JFK's son and Bush revenge killed Kennedy in 1963 by
Ross C. Bubba Nicholson
JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making
her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a
personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced
their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond
instead of a cheap...

Hi folks,
We're headed up to Bangor and Bar Harbor to cool down for a vacation next
week and I was thinking about renting an airplane for a day or two and
touring part of the state. Any thoughts on neat destinations in the area?
Also, I wonder if any FBOs or clubs rent Bonanzas up there?
