Hi, Does a Garmin 530W capture a downloadable track? 496? Al G

I have flown into Rhode Island several times, and always file direct. However, as I begin to approach the area (about 150 mi out) ATC gives me ammended routing. My problem is that I am unfamiliar with the navaids/airways in that part of the country and it adds a lot of stress to the flight trying...

Today's approach into KHKS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ-Hzig3RdM On launch celings were 600 and tops were 1700 solid OVC. By the time I got to HKS, ceilings were about 700 and broken. Just enough cloud coverage to justify an instrument rating as no VFR traffic was to be found but as easy...

My understanding is that the missed approach procedure cannot start until the MAP is reached. Now here's my stupid question- what if I royally screw up the approach early on i.e. get full scale deflection on the the VOR/localizer; should I keep going and hope I can find the MAP or is there...

We all know the FAA has gone to some lengths to create some wistful, humorous or otherwise place-significant intersection names. BOSOX outside Boston, RIBBS, MILLER, LYYTE - some less funny GRAVE, SORRY - How does one suggest an intersection/fix name to the FAA? I would recommend changing the...

A nation that once prided itself on a sense of rugged individualism has become uncomfortably obsessed with racial group identities. The collectivist mindset is at the heart of racism. Government as an institution is particularly ill-suited to combat bigotry. Bigotry at its essence is a problem of...

Do any of you fly into KADS with a Garmin GPSmap 496? I'm getting a false terrain alert when flying the Rwy 15 ILS and am wondering if anyone else has this problem. I'm working with Garmin to resolve this, but so far what they have suggested has not solved the problem. When flying the...

Does anyone know what happened to the FAA's proposal to increase the requirements for instrument currency to include departure procedures etc? Is the FAA still pursuing this? -Robert, CFII

We have upgraded the Garmin 430 to WAAS in our homebuilt. We have the Garmin talking to our STEC autopilot using its ARINC 429 roll steering commands through the STEC GPSS interface. In the old 430 non-WAAS unit, even if you selected an ILS approach on the Garmin and loaded it, you would get roll...

I had the upgrade installed a little while ago and it seems to have impacted my screen. After the radio has been running a while, I notice that when I change pages, the previous page seems to have 'burned in' to the screen for a few seconds and gradually fades away. I also found that on...

Anyone flown IFR into CLT in a piston single? I've got a commercial flight leaving CLT next month. I'd be flying in around 4pm on weekday. Thanks! Chris

Yesterday's IFR trip to Tunica. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ykh_3LmkRwE Video will give you a flaver of how I run my shop in my ship. Note, omissions in video lead to "technical errors" so view it as entertainment value only. I'd hate for somebody to gig me for not videoing setting flaps,...

It looks like rec.aviation.ifr is downing in a sea of "MI5 Persecution". Is there nothing that can be done to stem this tide? In the old days I would just killfile the person or a regexp against the title, but this is actually hard. Besides, I'm using Google to access usenet now. I've just never...

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...

Has anyone interfaced an M3 with a PC? I have a Motion LS-800 running Jeppview Flitedeck. I had succefully interfaced it with my previous aircraft that had a Trimble 2000 Approach. Trimble uses RS-232 w/ King aviation data format for its moving map output. I used an USB RS-232 coverter and...
