Used Avionics by
O. Sami Saydjari
I plan to buy my first airplane and "trade-up" in about 3-4 years. I
expect my initial investment will be around $75K. At that price, it
does not seem to be worth putting in brand new avionics to the tune of
$12-$15K (thinking specifically about a Garmin 430/MX-20 combo, or a
GX-50/MX-20 combo). ...

GPS PRN NOTAM by
Ali Ghorashi
Hello All,
What does the following NOTAM mean:
GPS 02/001 GPS PRN 26 OTS WEF 0502082100-0502090900
I know it says "GPS Pseudo Random Noise 26 Out of Service" but what are its
implications? Does it mean that RAIM is not available during the outage?
Thanks,

WAC vs Sectional by
[email protected]
I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was
looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service.
What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts?
Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas? Are all the same
airports listed?
Thanks

Practice IMC in real IMC by
gregscheetah
Hello,
I want to practice maneuvers, descending turns and basic manual
maneuvering in IMC conditions. Is it possible to get ATC to assign you
a 'practice area' in real IMC environment? Say a block of airspace
like they do for aerobatics? Of course I would first do this with a
CFII.

Cloud Height Forecast by
[email protected]
If I'm thinking about flying somewhere in the northeast and returning
in a few days, it'll be very helpful to know forecast cloud height
three days down the road. Knowing it'll be "cloudy" isn't too
helpful. In my Archer (not approved for icing) a hugh difference
between an overcast layer at...

AUTOPILOT PROS & CONS by
STICKMONKE
I got my IFR rating 7 months ago. I use the KAP140 autopilot a lot. From
climb-out to MDA/DA. I find it really helps in my management of the plane
and the IFR flight. I am interested in comments regarding the pros and cons
of a heavy use/reliance on the autopilot.

About to take a trip down to Gulfport MS (GPT) tomorrow morning.
Ceilings are forecasted to be 300 broken, so I really doubt that I will be

studying the approaches into GPT, I am kinda figuring on expecting vectors

Accuracy of GPS in Garmin 430/530 by
Will
Is there any way to have the Garmin 430/530 put its current display accuracy
on the primary display as an ongoing statistic, based on the number of
satellites in view? How, in general, do the Garmin units notify you of
situations where GPS accuracy has been compromised to a level that makes...

Victor Airways in Clearance by
Wyatt Emmerich
I fly with a Garmin 530. Great box, but I cannot for the life of me
understand why they would fail to include Victor Airways. Anyway, I often
get a clearance such as 210BA cleared to Yodoo, Clear City, Victor 245,
Bogur.
Now if I program the Garmin 530 for Yodoo, Clear City, Bogur, 19 times our

IFR training material overload by
Brian H
Hi All,
I've been snooping the rec.aviation.* groups for a while, and I'm
still lost.
I want to start studying for my IFR rating. I'm from the US, resident
in Japan, and so I reckon on studying on my own then taking the test
on some trip back to the states one day. I've seen a variety...

Pop-up IFR from Clearance Delivery by
Andrew Sarangan
Can Clearance Delivery (through an RCO on the ground) give a pop-up
IFR instead of Approach? So far I have found that they ask me to call
Approach when airborne, or file with FSS. Is there an operational
consideration that prevents CD from giving a pop-up?

"Stand Alone" Boxes (Garmin 430) - Sole means of navigation - legal? by
Richard
Probably this has been answered in this forum previously, but I can't find
it. Sorry.
I recently got into a friendly discussion with a knowledgable CFII who said
a Garmin 430 could not be legally used as "sole means of navigation".
Looking back, I think what he means is that "GPS" (even IFR...

Why is ADF required on ILS approach? by
Rich Raine
Wait! He can use a GPS in place of the ADF on that approach. Isn't that
correct?

NDB approaches -- what are they good for? by
Dylan Smith
On Mon, 07 Jul 2003 21:33:19 GMT, Sydney Hoeltzli wrote:
GPS approaches are very unit-specific and have a high initial
learning curve which involves way too much head-down time.
Maybe we should have a similar limitation on GPS approachs.
They do in Australia.

OLV GPS 36 approach question by

Went out seeking some IMC time today. Severe clear at my home airport,
so took a trip from KMBO (Madison MS) to KOLV (Olive Branch MS)
Early morning clouds at OLV was 500 overcast, so I figured by the time I
got there, it would at least be broken. It wasn't the clouds that was
