Logbook Question From An Outsider by
Jim
Greetings,
Would somebody be kind enough to answer a question from this first-time
poster?
Over the years, I've accumulated several dozen hours in Frasca and AST
300 simulators...of course, legally classified as ground trainers. I
have been under the impression that time in these ground trainers...

Air Tour Virtual Meeting by
Jim
I'm asking everyone in the group to please take the time to visit the FAA
site and post a comment or two on the proposed National Air Tour Safety
Standards Public Meeting.
I was just there and disappointed in the lack of comments.

Another Garmin 430 question by
Jim
I've been told that it is possible to load successive approaches in the
flight plan page but have been un able to either figure out how to do it or
find any info in the manual about it. For instance if I wanted to create a
flight plan to take off at one airport, fly to a second airport then...

Re-learning IFR by
Jim
jbo,
I'm roughly in the same position as you and I've found that reading the AIM
really helps more than ever. I've been teaching a instrument rating ground
school and honestly the answers to most of the students questions are in the
AIM. Although the main objective is for the students to prepare...

Online source for POH by
Jim
I'm looking for a good online source for POH's for my students. I want them
to purchase a POH for the plane they fly so they have their own copy. Any
leads, links or help is appreciated. Google doesn't give me many leads.

What I did on my summer vacation by
Jim Burns
Since my son was born 10 years ago, and my daughter 7 years ago, it seems
like my annual vacations have consisted primarily of playing "People
Transporter" and "Bill Payer" with absolutely no time for myself. Don't get
me wrong, I love my family and I love doing it for the kids but after 10
years...

GPS for NDB IAF on ILS? by
Jim Burns
I don't have my AIM here at work, and I'm on dial up, so I won't attempt to
download it, but I'm looking at the ILS 32 into KMQY Smyrna TN. It says ADF
REQUIRED which I understand is to identify the IAF which is the SWZ NDB not
associated with a marker beacon, inside the outer marker. This is the...

scheduling website by
Jim Burns
We've been using www.youcanbookit.com for scheduling our airplane. So far
it's been easy and worked great. The best part about it was it was a
free/commercial based site. Unfortunately the site has gone down and the
owner says it isn't likely to be put back online.
What web based scheduleing...

ILS DME strength? by
Jim Burns
Does anybody know the typical range of the DME signal when DME is installed
in conjunction with a localizer or ILS?
I shot an ILS yesterday that had it's compass locator decommissioned some
time ago, so now the approach requires a VOR or DME, which is fine, because
we've got both in addition to...

Nasa Icing courses by
Jim Burns
As many of you probably know, recent midwest weather has been a steady
stream of low overcast, misty, and foggy days prohibiting most VFR flight
and making IFR flights a spin of the icing roulette wheel. I thought it may
be a good opportunity for us to review NASA's icing online...

Question on Avidyne FlightMax by
Jim Caldwell
How do you update the GPS database? Does it have a portable uploader with a
CD-ROM? How long does it take? I have to keep a fleet of King Air arcraft
updated. They have an obsolete Interstate GPS system. The portable uploader
is floppy-disk based. You have to feed in a set of floppies, and the...

Can a failed Glide Slope also void the Localizer approach? by
Jim Carter
I had a question today that I've never considered, and need the
experience of the group.
Are there airports with ILS approaches such that if the Glide Slope
component failed or went OTS, the entire approach would be un-executable
by regulation? I've always assumed that with the GS OTS I'd just...

Can EFIS / EFMS lead to removing basic safety checks? by
Jim Carter
This question is the result of the wrong runway issue at LEX last
weekend.
Not having flown an EFIS or EFMS myself, I'm not sure of the "into
position checklist items". For example, in a standard steam-gauge panel
one of the last things we check is to align the directional gyro with
the runway...

How can we "fix" LEX to prevent wrong runway selection everywhere? by
Jim Carter
I've followed the lengthy and somewhat heated discussion speculating
responsibility in the LEX accident, but I've not seen any thread on
improvements other than a few comments about traffic lights on runways,
or more people added to the system to double-check the double-checkers.
I'm interested in...

Flight Following question by
Jim Carter
So far, every time I come out of ROG and request flight following to it
doesn't matter where, I get a discrete squawk that allows departure to
hand me off to Memphis Center, or Dallas, or Kansas City. Coming out of
LIT however I've never been given anything except a local code and then
