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. Previous all...

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 mucking around with full procedure approaches in the clag, but while I was studying the approaches into GPT, I am kinda figuring on expecting vectors for the...

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 of...

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...

Garmin 430 rquestion- does the approach always have to be activated via "activate approach"? by Terence Wilson
One annoyance of the 430 is that activating an approach will immediately set a course for the selected IAF (assuming RV not selected). What I would like to do is append the approach to my current flightplan so that I can transition en route to the approach without further programming. But I'm...

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? Rich Raine www.eraine.com "Brien K. Meehan" wrote in message ... "Gig Giacona" wrote in message

OLV GPS 36 approach question by A Lieberma
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 restricting the...
