Hello: I just wonder if there is a place where you can check which is the last date changed were made to a Jepp approach chart of Low-Altitude Enroute Chart. Our club has 49 / 50 enroute charts, that are supposed to be current (last changed Jul 04), but I found out a frequency was wrong. How do I...

I flew releif missions into Haiti for a 2.5 month period after the earthquake. While "in theater" we would operate between Santiago D.R. (MDST) to various outlying areas of Haiti. Typically, flying would begin at MDST around daybreak and end after dark. Now that the stage is set, here is the...

Hi everyone, I'm doing some studies regarding "Microwave Landing System", and could anybody tell me were I can find a list of airports around the world that operate with MLS of any category? tks

Among other things included in the massive list of changes the FAA is proposing to Part 61 is a new allowance for utilizing PCATD, FS, and FTDs in order to accomplish the recency of experience requirements for IFR flight: "Under proposed § 61.57(c)(2), a person could use an FS or FTD exclusively...

Well, after enduring the blisteringly cold, icy, snowy, and windy winter we've had up here in the Northeast, I _finally_ managed to get in some real, honest to goodness, solid IFR practice! It's been a couple of months since my last real instrument flight, but tonight, the conditions were finally...

Just got back from a good proficiency practice flight. This was the first time I'd flown single pilot IFR at night with conditions that could potentially deteriorate to actual instrument. (cloudy, rain developing as the flight progressed, visibility dropping somewhat) The basic rundown... got the...

Ok, time for me to fill y'all in on today's adventure... my IR checkride! First, let me thank all of those (in rec.aviation.student at least!) who have posted their PPL checkride stories. I've read a few over the past week or so, and they helped calm me down quite a bit in preparation for today....

I need to get my FAA license upgraded. Currently it is ME, VFR, based on my Canadian ME IFR ATPL. To have it include IFR, I have to write the FAA Knowledge Test "Instrument Rating - Foreign Pilot (IFP)". I cannot find/google what exactly is being tested for the IFP: Is it questions from the...

I roughly calculated that the weight of 1 in. of ice on all forward surfaces on my T182 (fixed gear) is about 250 lbs. Anyone cares to comment on this? Gerd (ATPL)

I had a bizarre problem on my KLN94. The display itself is totally fine (i.e. the moving map shows everything correctly, all pixels are OK); however, on almost all other text pages, there is information missing. For example, the groundspeed is not showing on the NAV page, or a frequency on an APT...

To my knowledge, in the US one must file an alternate IFR airport regardless of the weather if the destination airport does not have an IFR approach. Can someone please quote me the FAA regulation where this is actually spelled out? Thanks! Gerd

I know this has been discussed here before but I'm still not able to connect my Garmin III Pilot to the Jeppesen FliteStar program I have on my laptop. The problem of course is the serial-USB adapter which I have to use since modern laptops do not have old style serial connections anymore. If...

Anyone know how *exactly* the missed approach works at BGBW: http://www.slv.dk/Dokumenter/dscgi/ds.py/Get/File-833/AD_2_BGBW_NDB_DME_07-1.pdf Assuming your airplane can climb with a climb gradient of 6%, where and when can you descend to 1500 (note the table at the bottom) and where is your MAP...

I'm going to list our flying / pilot books. Anyone who has done this? GMO

Does there exist a handheld GPS that talks? A very nice lady here at work wants to give her hubby a gift for his retirement, and she knows he likes GPSs, and she knows he likes the voice feature. So far I have not found one for her that talks. The only GPSs I know of that talk are permanently...

I realise it's only been released for a few days, but as I'm in the market for a non-MS sim, and as I have an older version that works just fine but needs updating so it can do real GPS, etc., does anyone have anything to say one way or another about ASA's new On Top 9? Thanks, Hamish
