Two-and-a-half hours after the Championship game, the heavy iron departs KOSU/Don Scott Field.

While posting changes in my Jepp book last night, I came across the following change to the AIM. Kris Old text 5-4-9. Procedure Turn a. A procedure turn is the maneuver prescribed when it is necessary to perform a course reversal to establish the aircraft inbound on an

The FAA has just released a revised version of the instrument rating practical test standards to become effective October 1, 2004: http://av-info.faa.gov/data/practicalteststandard/faa-s-8081-4d.pdf Included in the footnotes of this new PTS is a substantial change in the

I've been away from this newsgroup for quite some time, so forgive me if this has already been covered. The other day, one of my colleagues pointed out something I hadn't noticed in the latest set of approach plates, which came out at the end of December. Its on page A2, under "Aircraft Approach...

Flying one of the kids on an IFR flight plan with decent VMC, she asked to circle some landmarks in Minneapolis/St. Paul Class B. I found myself saying "cancel IFR, request clearance to remain in class B with traffic advisories for some sightseeing". No problem, I remained on same squawk with the...

Guy has an airplane, commercial certificate but no instructor rating and takes students up for acrobatic lessons, mountain checkouts and charges for it. FAA legal?

Ok, here's something I noticed running up to State College yesterday. about 20 miles south of State College there's a class E transition area with no airport in the middle of it (there's Stottle Mem 02P, I think that's a hospital helipad on the edge of it, but I don't think that's the reason for...

To get back into practice I fired up MSFS 2002 and grabbed a random (out of date) chart to fly. It was the Bangor BGR ILS 33 approach (amdt 10B 03079, regular NOAA chart). So I gave the chart a quick glance, set up the nav frequencies as listed in the chart, and went flying. It took a few...

Any suggestions for a good internet-available, good service, well-priced chart subscription service? I've used vrotate.com for individual chart purchases. Good price and service, but the site is - well - less than I might hope for. No support for subscriptions (that is evidently done via...

An airline pilot of my acquaintance related about accepting a charted visual flight procedure into Reno, part of which involves intercepting a localizer course. He said they were IMC at the time. My understanding is that the aircraft must reporting seeing a landmark or preceding aircraft before...

Hi all, I am toying with the idea of installing a "cheap" IFR GPS in my '76 Cardinal. Being admittedly a bottom-feeder in this area, my choices are basically limited to a used KLN89B, or the Northstar M3 Approach, something like a $1500 setup total. I don't think an avionics shop would touch...

I used to have Cheap *******s software and a palm. While not perfect it was much better than nothing. Is there anything available now that is even remotely similar? I can't justify thousands of dollars but I might be able to purchase some sort of palm type thing if I can also use it for work. I...

Hello, The other day, I was flyng the ILS into Stockton CA. Just for yuks, I set the GPS ( GNS430 ) to the approach - with the warning that it was for situational awareness and entertainment only :). Naturally, the indicator was set to VOR/LOC. Sliding down the approach, I had the...

Passed the instrument checkride today on the first attempt! Been lurking here since 1997. Thanks for all the great advice! ILS 36 OXC LOC 36 OXC VOR 29 BDR

Well, I passed by instrument checkride recently and thought I would share my experiences. Started off the day with a flight from Fort Smith, AR (FSM) where I generally fly out of down to Hot Springs (HOT) where the examiner was. Started out as you might expect, paperwork, going over the logs,...

July 11, 2004 7:30 1.8 hours Instrument flight test (oral passed 6/25/04, no flight test per WX) Today was the 4th rescheduled test date, with yesterday afternoon being weathered out yet again by thunderstorms and low ceilings over the N.C. mountains. We felt that today would be a better day if we...

Hello community, after downloading several *.pdf's from the Chelton side (being inspired by AOPA's Commander ;-) and browsing thru them, it seems that there are some features in this box that set it apart from the competition, e.g. terrain display, "higway-in-the-sky" pointers, etc. Are there any...

Chicagoans...please advise ... What about flying from North to South along the shore. Then cross between Midway and O'Hare at 1500MSL. Then continue south, after flipping the bird to Mayor Dick Daley. Is this the way, or is there something like the Hudson river VFR corridor ?
