BAF LOC 23 by
Paul Tomblin
I'm trying to figure out the BAF ILS 23 localizer approach. The normal
LOC 23 approach has a MDA of 900, and the LOC 23/DME approach has a MDA of
700 feet. After the FAF, there is a step down fix at 2.7 DME with a

Ok, I bored you all to death with wondering if I should go to BAF or CEF,

after a...

Peter R.
Thanks to Rod Machado's article in May's _AOPA Pilot_, which was a
recap of another aviation safety enthusiast's lecture, I just learned
that there may be a big discrepancy in a storm's intensity when
comparing its base reflectivity (what is actually falling out of the
cloud) to its composite...

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...
