Dual Transponders? by
Scott Aron Bloom
Ok, Im not talking about the commercial carriers. But why would a general
aviation plane have dual transponders? Why waste the panel space? So they
go
tits up that often in flight where its necessary?

Charted Visual Flight Procedures by
Scott Draper
An airline pilot of my acquaintance related about accepting a charted
visual flight procedure into Reno, part of which involves intercepting
a localizer course. He said they were IMC at the time.
My understanding is that the aircraft must reporting seeing a landmark
or preceding aircraft before...

Flight Level and a half by
Scott Draper
Is there a proper phraseology for reporting leaving 33,500? The AIM
doesn't say; it always assumes you're at a whole number flight level.

Terminal Certified GPS by
Scott Draper
A friend has some Apollo unit that is capable of enroute and terminal
navigation. How do I know if the installation is actually approved
for IFR flight ?
Thanks

IFR Ground Training by
Scott Lowrey
As a soon-to-be-minted private pilot, what are the experiences of
others concerning instrument training and self-teaching?
I don't have a problem flying with my current flight school to get the
hours, but I question the need for their formal ground school and the
requisite pile of books.
I'm an...

What annoys me today by
scott moore
http://www.invensense.com/news/112806.html
The short take on this: MEMS or micromechanical technology, basically
integrated circuit technology used to make microscopic mechanical
features, having been used to make $1 accelerometers, is now being
used to make $1 gyroscopes, with a full internal...

What ticks me off today by

"FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said the crash of Comair Flight 5191
might have been avoided if the CRJ-100 had been equipped with Automatic
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). Blakey told reporters at a
news conference at UPS's headquarters in Louisville that ADS-B's LCD

This one is just funny:

Why is it funny? Because Tracy is, or was, the only airport I know that

How to be safely stupid by
scott moore
Interesting call today. I talked to S-TEC/Meggit. I am doing my
annual and wanted to cure a longstanding issue with my S-TEC 30
autopilot.
The issue was that when dimming the unit down, when you turn the
potentiometer below a certain value, the light on the S-tec 30
goes to full bright.
The S-tec...

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...

Well, I flunked my medical, now what ? by
Scott Moore
Great, I flunked my medical.
Actually, this came close to happening 4 years ago. I tested bad on
blood sugar (I don't know if that means too high or too low). Last time,
I passed it after taking a new blood test after fasting. This time,
the (12 hour) fast didn't help. Last time, I got advised to...

Stupid question: water in fuel by
Scott Moore
Yes, this is a stupid question, and somewhat off topic for IFR.
But I get better answers here than elsewhere.
Question:
Why is it that devices to separate water from fuel are quite
common cars (my F-350 truck has one), but such a device, which
could save lives in an airplane, is not offered for...

Dumb, off topic and political by

Ok, I admit to making all three of these mistakes, but:
On "meet the press" one of the guests suggested that
Senator McCain was considered the most likely candidate
for Republican Nominee for 2008.
Would McCain, the presdent be able to carry out his

Proposal: use OT (off topic) by
Scott Moore
Please I would like to propose:
Off topic posters please include OT at the front of your message. Some
of us want to talk about IFR here, since, after all, that is the subject
of the group. And I would like to filter out the off topic posts.
Please. If you respect this group.

Does anyone know if the advent of the GNS 480 (WAAS capable version of the 430)

How much longer are we supposed to be happy for a bunch of frozen
piper pilots on government technological welfare ?
If ADS-B saves lives, deploy it. Or shut the hell up. Just my
2 cents.

Anyone know what is going in with San Jose Radar TIS ?
As usual, Norcal approach knows nothing about it.
It was dead all day today, and I have not flown for

Jeppesen skybound by

Has anyone managed to figgure out a fix for this dog?
In order to get a GPS card programmed using the Jeppesen
Skybondage adapter, I have to restart the application
over and over, it is continually deciding that the
card in the unit has 0 (zero) memory. It even tests
green using the applications...
