So now, after demonstrating your racisim in the above thread, you are using the terrible tradgedy of 911 to sell Christianity on an IFR newsgroup. Boy are you a sad and desparate soul! One more for the killfile. Antonio Biff Smith wrote: ...

Do the two VRF cross country trips required for the commercial rating (2 hrs, 100 nm min, one day, one night) have to be dual? FAR 61.129(a)(3) seems to imply that it should be dual in the statement: "20 hours of training on the areas of operation listed in 61.127(b)(1) of this part that includes...

I've had many non-pilot friends and co-workers ask, "Is flying a small plane more or less dangerous than driving a car?", to which my response has always been "It depends on who is piloting the plane." However, in order to get a firmer answer from a statistical standpoint on this question, I...

Out here in the Rocky Mountain states, those of us who are instrument rated rarely get a chance to practice our skills in real IMC since "real IMC" usually implies either thunderstorms (summer) or severe icing condiditions and blowing snow (winter). However, today I was given a real treat by the...

In a couple of weeks, I'll be flying from SNA (Santa Ana/John Wayne, CA) up to the Bay Area (Palo Alto, CA), and was wondering if there is any way to plan or know in advance which departure SoCal is likely to give me. In looking at the SNA SIDs, a logical choice seems to be the Anaheim...

Has anyone ever flown a light single into LAX? If so, would you care to offer some advice? In a few months, I've got a relative who is flying into LAX from overseas, and I would much rather fly in to pick them up rather than face the madhouse we call "driving to LAX". Do they prefer IFR or VFR...

Aside from a call or visit to an FSS, or DUATS, are there any other "legal" sources from which a pilot is allowed to obtain weather reports? I'm not talking about what's actually *useful* here...hell, sometimes the weather channel is the most useful thing out there...I'm interested in what's...

According to Garmin's product literature, the GNS 430 and 530 are "WAAS-upgradeable", yet there is no information as to when this upgrade might be available. Does anyone have any other information on this? -- Dane

A few months back, I bought an iPad with the intent of using it in flight for maps, approach plates, and as a supplemental nav. to my GNS 430. I finally got the opportunity to play with it today while doing some hood work to see how well it performs in-flight, and I must say, I am very...

Hello a question again;-) Our PA34 with two Garmin GNS430 is certified for B-RNAV (RNP5) I can't find any information about the source signal. Does the GNS430 calculate RNAV information only from its GPS-signal or can it also get information from the VOR/DME? Does anybody know something about...

Hello I have some questions about the ATC-flightplan and how to fill it out. 1. Field 10, standard equipment ILS means localizer AND glideslope, right? DME is not part of standard equipment, right? 2. Field 10 R means RNP. Do I need to write e.g. R5 for RNP5? Or is no value needed? (is

As many of us have experienced, the response of FSS briefers to phone calls has been sometimes ... um... desultory, and when we're at a remote airport with no radio link to Center, waits on the phone of 15-30 minutes for clearance have been common.

So what does everyone think about the proposed new IFR currency requirements? The major changes seem to be that 1 hour of cross- country time will be required, along with six approaches, consisting of BOTH precision and non-precision, and two types of holds. Some of this can be completed in a...

All, I am trying to figure out how to complete the ICAO information on fltplan.com for filing a flightplan for a C182 with a Garmin 530W. The RNAV/RNP stuff has me confused. What would the proper answers be for an aircraft with a 530W? How about a standard Garmin 430? I've searched high and low...
