X-C from NC to FL over Atlantic ? by
John Doe
Anyone flown X-C down the east coast way out over the Atlantic?
I'm new to the east coast and I'm interested in flying from NC to Florida.
The direct route would take me a good ways out over the Atlantic. I'm not
concerned about flying over way, just curious as to what issues I'm about...

WxWorx is shipping, looking for first feedback by
Mark T. Mueller
Anyone have one of the first units? WxWorx website is stating they are now
shipping. Looking for some firsthand reports.
I gave up on Garmin's GDL-49 (tactically useless), and Control Vision
(transponder interference problems with some KT-76 transponders and flaky
downloads in some areas of the...

WxWorx gets a workout by
Dan Luke
Yesterday was one of those sopping wet, unstable Gulf Coast spring days
and I needed to get an Angel Flight couple from Mobile to Jennings, LA
(3R7, west of Lafayette) in the afternoon. By the time we were ready to
leave BFM at noon, the NEXRAD on our route looked like a cheap Hawaiian
luau shirt...

WxWorx flight test by
Dan Luke
Today was a good day for it, as there were CBs in all directions
around Mobile (so, what else is new?). Around the airport, though, it
was scattered cu. with bright sun, a good test for the Sony notebook's
viewability.
The WxWorx receiver slipped neatly into the Cessna's right front map
pocket...

WxWorx continued by
Dan Luke
Today the Sony VAIO PCG-TR1AP notebook arrived, so I was able to install
WxWorx on it and add the GPS map option.
The Sony is a dandy little machine. It's about 10.5"x7"x2" folded up. The
screen is 10.6" diag. and, as advertized, very bright. It was easily
viewable in the car when I took it for a...

WxWorx by
Wyatt Emmerich
After struggling with my EchoFlight Orbcom datalink, I gave up. Forty minute
nexrad data, when it worked at all, didn't help me much. Lo and behold, they
now have a Wxworx interface, which I just installed today. Within two
minutes I have all the weather data in the entire U.S. in high-res...

Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) and lack of

Wrong data in Jepp GPS database? by
Roy Smith
I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back
into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered
it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8
and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

wonders of VFR on top by
Robert M. Gary
The other day I wanted to get a clearance to get above an overcast
while in cruise. When I asked for a clearance the controller said it
would be awhile because my destination was more than 500 miles away.
He said he needed to get me a clearance all the way there even though
my intention was to...

Winter Cloud Tops by
O. Sami Saydjari
This is somewhat related to the optimal altitudes question, but I
thought I would start a new thread here...
What are the typical cloud tops at for winter flying--if there is any
such thing as typical. I would venture to guess that tops are below
10,000 ft 80% of the time. I am talking here...

I am based at Grosse Ile MI (KONZ) and I was practicing approaches Monday

Winds on approach by
kevmor
I flew yesterday and did some practice approaches, and the winds were
about 20 knots gusting to 26-28. I've flown almost all approaches so
far in a different 172 that had a 180hp conversion. Because of the
winds, I kept almost full cruising power on the descents to try and
maintain my normal 90...
