I am sure someone in this group can answer this question. When using a Garmin 530, without WAAS, will it output Roll Steering commands when flying a DME Arc ? Thanks -- Roy Piper Archer N5804F

Windsor Locks (BDL) has two different GPS RWY 6 approachs, Y and Z: http://www.airnav.com/depart?http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0406/00460RY6.PDF http://www.airnav.com/depart?http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0406/00460RZ6.PDF The procedures are almost identical, and I'm scratching my head trying to figure...

I was in Claremont NH (KCNH) today. The DP reads (per a recent FDC notam; it's different from what's published): DEPARTURE PROCEDU RWY 11: CLIMB VIA HEADING 109 TO 2500 THEN CLIMBING RIGHT TURN DIRECT CNH NDB, CLIMB IN HOLDING TO 3000 BEFORE PROCEEDING ON COURSE. RWY 29: CLIMB VIA HEADING 289...

Yesterday, I did something I don't get to do much any more -- just headed off on a trip with no particular purpose in mind other than it was a nice day and I wanted to go flying. I looked at a chart and found an airport I'd never been to before, Claremont NH, and off I went. I did enough...

Departing 1B1 today, we had only put in a skeleton of a flight plan (origin and destination) in our CNX-80 and filled in the rest along the way. At some point in this process, we got the message "No active waypoint" (or words to that effect). I've gotten this before, when reprograming flight...

When you put a flight plan into the CNX-80, you end up with a "discontinuity" before the last fix. My habit is to delete the discontinuity as soon as I finish entering the route. Another instructor in my club teaches that you should NOT delete the discontinuity. I can't see any strong arguments...

This seems to be my week for stupid CNX-80 ****. Returning to HPN today, I asked for the ILS-34. I punched up PROC, then selected ILS-34/Vectors and executed it. A little while later, I decided I wanted to fly the ILS on the #2 NAV, and just monitor my progress on the CNX-80 by having it...

I don't fly too many coupled approaches, so forgive me if this is a simplistic question. We were flying a coupled VFR/practice ILS in a Debonair with a Century-2000 A/P. The heading bug was set about 10 degrees to the left of where it should have been, resulting us tracking to the left of...

V139 goes from southern NJ to eastern Long Island, cutting off the corner of the coastline at New York, heading out about 40 miles over the ocean. I just happened to notice that it's got MOCA's defined in addition to the MEA's. The segment between MANTA and PLUME, for example, has a MOCA of 2000....

It has always struck me odd that a standard landing pattern is left turns and a standard hold is right turns. Having a left patterns for landing makes a bit of sense, since the pilot is on the left side of the cockpit and has a better view of the runway making left turns. But, for IFR holds,...

The DP out of LGA reads: "DEPARTURE PROCEDU Rwy 4, climb to 600 before proceeding westbound. Rwy 13, climb to 800 before proceeding westbound. Rwy 22, climb to 1400 before proceeding westbound. Rwy 31, climb to 1200 before proceeding southbound." It seems kind of vague to me. Is it implied...

I'm learning the CNX-80 my club just installed. One of today's tasks was to load and fly a DP to make sure I knew how that worked. Unfortunately, at my home airport (White Plains), when you go to load the Westchester One, you discover there are no DP's available in the database. OK, we headed...

There's two GPS approaches into KDMW; the RNAV (GPS) RWY 16 and the RNAV (GPS) RWY 32. http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/05533R16.pdf http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/05533R34.pdf Both start from off-airway IAF's, with no feeder routes. Both use the same missed...

Is there anyplace where I can find IFR en-route charts on line? I know where to find SIAP's and sectionals, but I haven't seen en-routes anywhere.

Yesterday I played with the parallel track function in the CNX-80 for the first time. I was introducing the CNX-80 to a student and I had planned a VFR flight via airways. My student (rightfully) questioned the wisdom of an over-water segment, so we decided to fly that segment on a 5-mile offset...

I had an interesting little experience last night. We were inbound to MMK (Meriden CT) for a practice GPS-36, talking to Bradley Approach. MMK is right on the edge between Bradley and NY Approach's airspace, and radio coverage tends to be spotty there. Conditions were night, IFR, but VMC with...

I'm putting together a question bank for IPC's. Anybody got any they'd like to contribute?

The ODP out of MMK for runway 36 reads, "climbing left turn to 1800 via 325° bearing from MMK NDB before proceeding on course". It seems to me that the easiest way to fly that with a GPS would be to create a user waypoint which is a 325 bearing, 20 (or whatever) mile offset from MMK NDB and insert...

The VOR or GPS-1 into Sky Park, NY (46N) http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/05462VG1.PDF has a note saying "Final approach from Saggi Int holding pattern not authorized. Procedure turn required". What doesn't make sense about this is that SAGGI is an IAF, and you're allowed to use...

The Dutchess Four Departure has lost comm instructions which read, "If radio contact is not established/lost for more than two minutes after departing, proceed on course and climb to 5000 feet. Ten minutes after departure, climb to requested altitude/flight level". Let's say my clearance is...
