Hello All, Hoping some experts/old timers might help me on a basic Radio Range question. I understand the principle of merging the A's and the N's to get the on-beam signal. I have been told that, while originally this merge created a continuous, uninterrupted tone except for the station...

Posted this one somewhere else, but wanted to share with the gang on the newsgroups. Dave Well, after one year, two instructors, 9 hours actual, and nearly 70 hours of training I passed the instrument checkride. It was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but if you read my other post you know that...

I haven't heard a peep from anyone in aviation about this, but now it appears the Northwest can't survive without a NASCAR track, and yesterday the finalist was announced. Marysville, just a hair south of Arlington (AWO). From the...

Does anybody know the typical range of the DME signal when DME is installed in conjunction with a localizer or ILS? I shot an ILS yesterday that had it's compass locator decommissioned some time ago, so now the approach requires a VOR or DME, which is fine, because we've got both in addition to...

Anyone have a tip as to the best way to enter the LOC DME source on the KLN94? The NRST function won't always pick it up, if there are a lot of intersections around. I've tried loading the fix into an alternate flight plan, and then do a DIRECT operation later, but I couldn't get that to work.

Flying one of the kids on an IFR flight plan with decent VMC, she asked to circle some landmarks in Minneapolis/St. Paul Class B. I found myself saying "cancel IFR, request clearance to remain in class B with traffic advisories for some sightseeing". No problem, I remained on same squawk with the...

Hello. I see there are lots of smart folks in this NG and I learn a lot from you. I have a question that I sure someone can answer for me. I'm not so knowledgeable about some of the GPS approach procedures. I was reviewing the GPS 16L @ KHEF (Manassas VA) and am not sure which DH is applicable...

Hi, I'm European and I'm looking for time buiding in US. I've found that: http://www.aussie-air.com/ Is anybody have feedbak about this flightschool ? or if you know some serious flightschool which propose time buiding, just let me know. Thanks in advance. Skybe

I just finished a book about the aviation details of Sept 11 attacks. "Touching History" by Lynn Spencer was a quick read. I picked it up a couple hours before bedtime expecting to get through a couple of chapters and turn in. I stayed up hours past my bedtime and read about 95% of the book...

This morning I flew into Erie (KERI), a class D airport in northwest Pennsylvania along Lake Erie. Weather was low IFR with 500 foot ceilings, 4 mile visibility, and winds out of the southwest. An ILS to runway 24 was in...

I recently got intoduced to the Garmin 530. Nice box, advertises 3D nav, but I couldn't find any referance to step down altitudes on the approach. Is this not available? I find it hard to believe that they would store every fix and route in the Western Hemishpere, and leave out a vital portion...

I raised a question about this a while back. V7 runs a little farther offshore than I'm comfortable with in my single. I recently filed V7 from northern WI south to Gary, IN. When I got to Milwaukee, ATC started to vector me, steering me much closer to land than the filed route. I hadn't asked...

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

Thanks to all who replied to my in-flight weather questions. I think that I've narrowed my selection down to a PDA solution using the iPaq 4700, along with packages for XM weather an moving map from either Control Vision (AnywhereWx) or AirGator (NavAirWx). Detailed information on the web sites...
