How not to play nice with a GPS by
Roy Smith
I had an interesting experience earlier today. I thought after all this
time I had the CNX-80 figured out, but I found a new way to screw things up.
I was on the POU GPS-24 (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0508/00286VDG24.PDF),
full procedure, Kingston IAF. We were IFR, in and out of IMC. We had...

Wrong data in Jepp GPS database? by
Roy Smith
I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back
into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered
it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8
and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

lets say ceilings are above the GPS minimums, will Center automatically set

Lost comm -- what would you do? by
Roy Smith
A student and I took off today IFR from HPN. Destination was FWN (Sussex,
NJ). Rhumb line course is 42 NM at 294 degrees.
Clearance was "Westchester 1, RV CMK, CMK 275R to intercept SAX 039R, SAX,
direct FWN, maintain 3000, expect 4000 after 10 minutes".
Departing runway 34, the SID is "climb...

Need help understanding KFC-200 operation by

How to back out FPL changes on GNX-480? by
Roy Smith
It never ceases to amaze me how I keep finding something I don't know how
to do on the GNX-480 after all this time.
Had a flight plan going when I got a pretty significant re-route in flight.
I went into FPL, hit EDIT, and started deleting waypoints with the CLR
button. After a while, I...

Odd clearance -- airway given twice by
Roy Smith
The stock clearance into HPN from the POU area is IGN V157 HAARP. It's
been that for as long as I've been flying around here. Recently, they've
started issuing IGN V157 VALRE V157 HAARP, which boils down to exactly the
same thing (VALRE is just a bend in V157).
Today, I asked the controller...

Descent below MDA -- what would you do? by

What would you do in this situation? You're on the GPS-22 into Ellenville,
NY (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0508/09390G22.PDF), planning to land
straight-in. Note the high MDA (1800 AGL). There's no weather reporting
at your destination, but several nearby airports are saying anywhere from

RAIM? by

I've been doing most of my GPS flying with a CNX-80, which doesn't seem
to suffer from loss of RAIM. Last night I was flying with a GX-60, and

The GX-60 manual isn't real illuminating on what you're supposed to do
at this point. Presumably,...

GPS clearance puzzle by
Roy Smith
Apparently, if you file IFR HPN - MMU, you get a clearance which starts
"CMK CMK275R SAX039R SAX" (i.e. fly outbound on the CMK 275 until you
intercept the SAX 039, then fly that inbound to SAX). In the good old
days of 2 VOR receivers, this is trivial to fly; the radios don't know
or care that...

Best way to identify fix? by

I was looking at some old IFR Refreshers tonight, and found the IFR Quiz
from September 2002. See http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0503/00282I2C.PDF.
Question #4 asks how to identify TANDS, and the answer they give is "BNA
DME and Livingston's R-270". Isn't that kind of nuts? The DME arc is
