No SID in clearance, fly it anyway? by
Roy Smith
Had a strange thing happen to me today. I filed IFR HPN - HFD (White
Plains NY to Hartford CT). The route part of my clearance came back
"radar vectors Carmel, V1, Hartford, Direct".
Usually out of HPN I would expect to get the Westchester-1 departure,
but it wasn't in my clearance, and I when...

Phrase "landing runway" vs. "cleared to land" by
Robert M. Gary
Today I was shooting approaches at MHR. Wx was 001OVC 1/8SM. When I
got handed off to tower they would say "Mooney 1234, not in site,
landing own risk, landing runway 22L". That doesn't sound like a
landing clearance to me. What does "landing runway 22L" mean in the
tower ATC phrase book? Why would...

How to get IFR Clearance enroute? by
Stimbo
What are the recommended procedures in obtaining an IFR clearance
enroute?
Flying from NJ to FL, I prefer to fly VFR, but undoubtedly I will
encounter IMC along the way. If I filed IFR in advance, it takes 1/2
hour or more to clear it through ATC. I obviously cannot wait 1/2
hour if I encounter...

GNS 430W vs GNS 480 by

I'm going to add either the GNS 430W or GNS 480 to a Beach Bonanza and am
wondering if any of you who fly with these GPS units have a recommendation?
I'd like a very capable IFR GPS with integrated NAV/COM abilities, which
I'll couple to my S-TEC 50 Autopilot with GPSS. Both the 430W and 480 are...

FAA letter on flight into known icing by

There was an earlier thread on whether it was legal to fly an airplane under

the airplane's operating handbook. I asked the Seattle FSDO what their take
was on the issue. This is their reply:

flying LPV with Garmin G1000 & King KAP140 WAAS by

I'm a little new to this airplane and tried to fly an LPV approach on autopilot.
I had the approach activated and was outside the FAF at approx 30 degree intercept, when I pressed AP, then APR. It turned on course properly but never captured the glide path. What am I doing wrong?
thanks

A sample approach that has both is KARR RNAV(GPS) RWY 9. LPV DA is
