Radio license required? by
Marty Ross
When I first learned the memory aid for required documents, it was "ARROW".
When I inquired why sometimes I saw "AROW", I remember being told that the
second "R" was dropped because while flying within the USA you don't need
the "Radio License".
I glanced through the FAR/AIM and couldn't quickly...

Speaking only for myself, its pretty damm confusing exactly what would be

Aircraft Designations by
David Townend
The second printing of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" is still

is good to have copies available again. We are also able to hold the
original price, too. Military Aircraft designations
catalogued from 1913 to...

Phraseology by
Thomas Myers
What is the proper phraseology to alert the controller that you are being
vectored through the localizer?
I'm thinking something like:
Approach, N12345 vector through localizer?
Thanks,

Suppose We Really Do Have Only GPS Approaches by
Richard Kaplan
Suppose the FAA truly does plan to decommission all navaids except GPS.
How long do you think it would take to design, test, and publish replacement
WAAS GPS approaches to replace every ILS, LOC, or other approach in
existence today which does not meet the criteria for a straight GPS...

Another IFR "oops" by
Dan Luke
Another one of those things I guess I should have been ready for sneaked up
on me this morning.
We were going from BFM to EET (Shelby County Airport, Alabaster, Alabama)
and the ceiling was right at minimums for the RNAV 33 approach, and below
minimums for the VOR-A. Naturally, I wanted the RNAV...

WGS-84 countries? by
Bill
Where online can I find a list of countries meeting the WGS-84 GPS
standards?
Preferably from an "authoritative" source, such as FAA, AOPA, ALPA,
NASA, etc, and not from Cousin Vinnies online website

Thinking about getting my IFR rating - Written test programs???? by
Grey Stone
I am thinking about getting my IFR rating. I have seen different
DVD/Video Training sets to get you ready for your IFR written. Does
anyone have any opinion on these? Are they a waste of time? Should I
just start doing my IFR and working on the written prep with an
instructor?
I appreciate any...

How to enter a long flight plan into your GPS... by
John Harper
In two words, don't bother.
Flew today Anacortes (north of Seattle) back home to Palo Alto,
IFR at FL190. The flight plan was pretty complicated, over a dozen
waypoints all carefully entered into my shiny new 530 during climb out.
And guess what... I got to fly to exactly one of them. Initially I...

IFR simulators by
Richard Kaplan
You would need a PCATD (personal computer aviation training device) to log
hours toward PART of an instrument rating under either Part 61 or Part 141.
If it is for Part 141 then it has to be part of that school's curriculum.
You can look at www.flyelite.com for examples of PCATD systems --...

Textual IAPs by

I can relate to the problem here.
It seems like such a waste of paper (and money!) to be buying all of these
charts every 28 or 56 days! I don't even use most of them! Moreover, there
are MANY MANY NOTAMS and other "updates" that don't seem to make it into
them, so I have a lot of updates to do...

CAT II Minimums on a CAT I Approach by
Giwi
I've heard that some pilots have the authority to descend to CAT II
minimums (RA100) on CAT I intstrument approaches. If this is true,
then how is the CAT I approach altered? Is the DH simply lowered?
Seems like this would result in steeper approach angles to make it
work out right. Alternately...
