Hi, I have a question from a friend. Her daughters have nut allergies. She wants to know how long it takes from cruise (41K?) to a gate from the time they notify the crew of a medical emergency (e.g. anaphylactic shock). Obviously it depends on their proximity to a suitable airport, but I'd...

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...

Hi, Just wanted to let the group know about our new WingX Browser Beta. It'll display color-coded METARs, TAFs, winds aloft, temperature aloft, trends etc. Take a look at the screen shots (landscape mode too): http://www.hiltonsoftware.com/Beta.html We'll add more as time goes on, so please...

Hi, In addition to our WingX products for Windows Mobile and BlackBerry, we put together a free iPhone web app. Feel free to use, share, etc. Let me know how we can improve it. We'll be adding some more weather images, but I think that it is pretty useful at this point. Point your iPhone to...

I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service. What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts? Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas? Are all the same airports listed? Thanks

I'm selling my king IFR course on Ebay. Let me know if you have any questions. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4527854845&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT If this isn't appropriate, let me know and I'll send a cancel on the post.

I signed up for the IFR chart program from AirCharts, but didn't have an IFR rating. Now as I'm starting training, I'm trying to do the updates. These are amazingly messy/difficult to deal with. HOw many others on here have the IFR system and are able to do the updates? I keep seing these "new...

I found this terrific goal setting manual online. It is a FREE publication tjat is available at http://www.yourrichlifeinc.com. You can find it under the 'free dowloads' section. This really helped me to get clear about what I wanted in the new year. Now, I have a list of written goals with a...

Will be flying SF bay area to KVGT next week. Will arrive from the west. Haven't been into Las Vegas area in over 20 years but have heard it is busy. Any suggestions to keep it simple. Would I do better to file IFR to North Las Vegas or just come in VFR and deal with Las Vegas Approach. Thanks in...

I have a question concerning blanket notam 3/1862 shown here 3/1862~ (Issued for KFDC PART 1 OF 2)~ SPECIAL NOTICE. THIS NOTICE MODIFIES FLIGHT RESTRICTIONS PREVIOUSLY ISSUED IN FDC NOTAM 2/0199 TO COMPLY WITH STATUTORY MANDATES DETAILED IN SECTION 352 OF PUBLIC LAW 108-7. EFFECTIVE 0303061100...

I appreciate eveyone's input. I sense that there is no clearcut answer. The stepdown minimums are obviously there for a reason. On the other hand, one would be allowed to fly a descent path of one owns choosing when a visual approach clearance is issued. The controller is often not aware if one is...

Can I descent below minimums on an intermediate stepdown segment of an IFR approach if I have the runway enviroment in sight? On a very steep approach such as the backcourse loc-A to Santa Maria,CA, I would like to start descending below 1700 feet prior to reaching PATER, in order to facilitate a...
