I'm looking for a freelance flight instruction to give me an IPC and my last prerequisite for my commercial ticket (night VFR cross country). Any out there that can help or have a reference?? Thanks. email to: Remove the "NOSPAM" when replying, thanks.

I recently made an inquiry to Garmin regarding their new requirement that GNS 430/530 owners pre-order the WAAS upgrade prior to November 2005 to guarantee the $1500 price their marketing department has been stating for the past 2 years... Keeping in mind the WAAS upgrade for these boxes are...

So let's say I'm inbound to Teterboro from the west, doing 250 kias below 10,000 in descent. Atc gives me a radar vector, and clears me to maintain 4000 feet. 1, Do I need to slow to 200 kias at some time? 2. I'm considering that I may well be less than 3000 feet AGL (or is 2500 the magic...

If you look at the radar plots at NOAA's site here http://radar.weather.gov/radar_lite.php?product=NCR&loop=no&rid=cxx there is no prediction for precip type, just the value of reflectivity is given. At Intellicast...

Anyone have a reference for a requirement to identify an ils or vor prior to it's use in the USA? Secondly, is there any reference to the type of identification required? For example, would checking that the primary flight display is displaying the correct identifier suffice? Or is there...

Was I dreaming? Or did I once hear that RNP 1 and 2 stars/sids had been published in the USA? I see type A and B, but these are RNAV, and so must have no RNP requirement whatsoever, and can be flown by any /G aircraft. Anyone provide some info? Stan

Anyone know where to view ruling by the FAA's chief counsel? In particular, I'm looking for the one that that states "departure procedures" referred to in Far 91.129(g) are only those traffic pattern departure routes that the FAA sometimes establishes for a particular airport. As opposed to say...

Here's some items to liven up the group... 1. Suppose your departure clearance includes "cross X vor at or above 5000, Y vor at or above 10,000, maintain 15,0000 feet." Once airborne you're given "maintain FL200". Do the altitude restrictions at X and Y vor's still apply? 2. Now suppose...

Do I read the aim right that the special flight rules airspace over top of LAX is actually still classified as a VFR corridor? And secondly, are there any other vfr corridors in the US? Stan

In the US, vasis provides a maximum of 4 ** nautical miles ** obstacle protection and papi provides 4 ** statute miles ** of protection. True or False Stan

I've been trying to use duats to file flight plans. The preferred route from PHL to Toronto CYYZ is ptw, then ptw 320 deg radial to intercept J64 RAV etc. I've tried various formats to enter this radial to a jet route format, but duats doesn't seem to accept it. Any one able to make this type of...

Does anyone consider it somewhat dangerous that at your alternate airport, the weather can be forecast to be as low as your alternate minimums? Seems the potential for problems. For example, using Carlsad California CRQ as the planned alternate, where the VOR-A is the approach you plan to fly...

The word on the street seems to be that with a departure clearance from an uncontrolled airfield of "cleared on course" any ODP would not need to be flown in VMC. . However, I'm not sure how the FAR quote below, which also applies to Class C and B airspace, supports that. Clearly, an ODP is...

Consider you're NE of the airfield, non towered airport, runway 18/36, standard left pattern applies, with runway 36 the active. I'm interested in hearing what your personal method of joining the pattern would be, while adhering to the FAR's and AIM. I've two thoughts: Fly south, then west, pass...

Opinions please: Hailey Idaho, KSUN, daytime, ndb dme approach (circling only minima), map is 5.3 nm back from threshhold, minima are 8000 ft (2681) and 5 miles, with "fly visual to airport" annotation. 1. Since 5.3 nm is just over 6 sm, is this not contrary to the FAR's, in that you can fly...

Consider the following FARs, § 91.126 Operating on or in the vicinity of an airport in Class G airspace. b) Direction of turns. When approaching to land at an airport without an operating control tower in Class G airspace- (1) Each pilot of an airplane must make all turns of that airplane...

Most RNAV approaches have the notations: "GPS or RNP - 0.3 required", and "DME/DME RNP - 0.3 not authorized" 1. The "or RNP .3" seems to imply some navigation unit other than gps can have rnp .3 Any idea what? 2. If an FMS with rnp .3 is able to conduct this approach, wouldn't it need a gps...

Is 1000 feet the absolute minimum vertical separation between ifr aircraft? Or can atc assign 3500 feet to one, and 4000 to another, and have no lateral separation?? Secondly, any different for a situation where one is ifr at 4000 ft, and a vfr aircraft is being vectored at 3500 feet, with no...

I'm not from the US, but just wondering if you depart ifr from an airport and tower tells you to contact departure, I know that you check in with callsign, altitude through, and cleared altitude. But I was wondering if the AIM recommends anywhere also to include the departure runway and the...
