I am looking for pictures of thunderstorms for research purposes. Specifically I am interested in the tops (anvils) of Thunderstorms. Even though most airliners / jets do not go over them for turbulence reasons that I am aware of, maybe pics at a distance could give me a look at what I am searching...

I've been flying on helicopetr routes over NYC for years now with terrific controllers everywhere but got hung up with a controller last week and I need help understanding his arguments for refusing me access. He said I'm not a helicopter so I cannot fly a helicopter route when it 'may' interfere...

Any recommendations on the best Piper Arrow add-on for MSFS2004? I found a couple with google but the downloads don't seem to work. Doesn't have to be freeware. Mostly what I want is a reasonably accurate power model. I have ASA's On Top but the GPS is crummy and the power model has no...

One of my two non-WAAS Garmin GNS430 database cards has somehow died and remembering to pull the only one from my unit to bring home and burn has become risky, so I am looking for another spare card. There are a couple on eBay but I thought I would at least see if any of you here have spare, old...

The other day I flew an ILS into KCNO. The G1000 did not decode the Morse code and the 3 letter identifier did not appear. I was not in IMC and I did not manually listen to the Morse code. The ATIS did not indicate a problem. The localizer and glide slope appeared good. My question. What are...

I spent many a long hour with Kershner while I was a student pilot. My copy is so ragged looking it's embarrassing. I actually spent an hour on the phone with him when he called the museum asking to donate copies of his Private Pilot Manual to the education department. He was really...

Hi! I have a KMD 150 and would like to share some experience and infos about this unit. Who else is using this GPS in Europe? cu Maik

One of my students asked me a question the other day that I have been unable to answer. Many instrument approaches are labeled with a letter following the primary name and the letter indicates that the final approach course is not lined up (beyond 30 degrees) with any runway, and that a circling...

I flew the KFWN VOR or GPS-A (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0506/05412VGA.PDF) this morning with a CNX-80. Annoyingly, ANKLE (the stepdown fix) is not in the database. You get SAX-MAGLV. It seems like SAX-ANKLE-MAGLV would make a lot more sense. Is the some reason it's left out of the database?

I am sure this has been asked a hundred times, but can someone point me to a website that has a searchable archive of this newsgroup? I posted something last year (I think)...either here or on rec.aviation.owning...dealing with considering buying my next airplane. There were some really great...

I have a GNS 430 and a GNC 250 XL in my aircraft. When I switch on both GPS, the GNC 430 will not, in the satelllite status page, show the solid signal strength bars even though the hollow bars are all showing good strength and the 250 XL works just fine. Does this have anything to do with the...

I'm looking for a PDA program that will do wifi to allow duats flight plans to be filed where there is a wireless hotspot like an FBO. Probably would work thru DUATs. Should be heavily template driven so that I only have to fill in a few things. Bill Hale

Hey guys, I am a fim believer in the edm 700 I have used it in about 4 airplanes (182 210 421 barron) I find it easy to use and highly reliable. I wish that I could give you some info on the EI product but I just have no experience with it. As a professional pilot I fly nearly every day and I am...

This one is just funny: http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/13_2a/briefs/Stealing_From_Peter_To_Pay_Paul_194158-1.html Why is it funny? Because Tracy is, or was, the only airport I know that LOCKS and SHUTS DOWN their card activated fueling at night, making them practically useless for a fuel stop...
