On a very steep approach such as the backcourse loc-A to Santa Maria,CA, I would like to start descending below 1700 feet prior to reaching PATER, in order to facilitate a...

Report Leaving Assigned Altitude? by John Clonts

ATC Altimeter Settings by O. Sami Saydjari
When entering an ATC region, we often get an altimeter setting, usually at some fix. So for example, when entering the Chicago center ATC region, they say something like, "Midway altimeter is xx.xx." I have some questions. 1. So, do they pick some fix for the region and give everyone...

Flying IFR with Garmins by Robert M. Gary
I just recently decided to buy our first Garmin GPS (296). I had not in the past because they were so far behind on providing terrain. They fixed that with the 296. However, the one outstanding item missing on the 296 are airways. On my Skymap IIIc I can easily fly an airway by putting the white...

FAA letter on flight into known icing by C J Campbell
There was an earlier thread on whether it was legal to fly an airplane under part 91 into known icing if there was no specific prohibition against it in the airplane's operating handbook. I asked the Seattle FSDO what their take was on the issue. This is their reply: Dear Mr. Campbell: Thanks for...

Requirement to fly departure procedures by [email protected]
I was always under the assumption that if my atc clearance received on the ground was direct to a fix, I was free to forgo the departure procedure and do an immediate turn after takeoff. I note that FAR 91.129, Operations in class D airspace states that: "(g) Departures. No person may operate an...

Flying through known or forecast icing by John Doe
Ok, I know this is one of those "it depends" answers, but I'm curious as to what folks are willing to do in the winter time. Assumptions: Single engine piston aircraft with NO de-icing equipment. Situation: It's wintertime. You want to fly XC and there are midlevel clouds in the

Should you tell Tower you're departing IFR by John Clonts
or should they just know it already? I was departing Sugarland (KSGR) yesterday, after having gotten my clearance from ground control. Tower assigned me runway heading (this was about 45 minutes later as there was MUCH traffic waiting in line for takeoffs) and handed me off to departure. I had...

RNAV vectors by Dan Luke
Anybody ever get vectors to final for RNAV approaches? Around here (Mobile. AL), I never hear it, although there are plenty of ARNAVs with lower minimums than the VOR approaches at both airports. If you ask ATC for one of the ARNAVs, they'll clear you to an IAF every time. Is there something...

Being asked to "verify direct XXX" by Paul Folbrecht
I'm a new IFR pilot, having gotten my ticket end of January. One thing I've quickly picked up on is that ATC pretty much expects everybody to be able to navigate direct. If you tell them you've got a VFR GPS (in your remarks), they'll happily give you direct clearances and instructions while...

Approach speeds for ILS by C J Campbell
We get foggy here at Tacoma Narrows this time of year (which is the reason I post more on these groups in the winter than in the summer). One thing we see a lot of is guys who fly the ILS too fast. I have no problem with flying the ILS at 90 or 100 knots if the ceiling is well above minimums, but...

Question of aborted landing after instrument approach by [email protected]
A couple of weekends ago I was at Half Moon Bay Airport (KHAF) a non-towered field near San Francisco, CA. It was a beautiful, sunny, Sunday afternoon, so that traffic pattern was full. I made calls in each leg of the pattern, except base and final, because I could not get a word in edgewise....
