If you want to maintain IFR status until you're on the ground at an uncontrolled field, who do you call when you're on the ground, assuming there's no remote ARTCC radio facility within reach? FSS?

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...

I'm looking for a tool that forecasts cloud bases and tops for a route of flight. I use http://adds.aviationweather.gov to approximate this by viewing the freezing levels, icing potential, pireps, etc., but it seems with all our modern satellite and radar products as well as weather service data...

After upgrading to software version 2, the CNS-80 offers a new display page, resembling an HSI with a VDI pointer at its left. The unit's computed VDI presentation is active for many GPS approaches, as well as for all LNAV and LPV approaches. However, I have not (yet) found in the pilot's manual...

When you put a flight plan into the CNX-80, you end up with a "discontinuity" before the last fix. My habit is to delete the discontinuity as soon as I finish entering the route. Another instructor in my club teaches that you should NOT delete the discontinuity. I can't see any strong arguments...

I have seen some CNX-80 screen pictures with its built-in CDI showing the course as a triangle, sometimes it points up and other times it points down. What does it mean when it points up vs. down? Glideslope or VNAV? Regards, Robin Hou

Departing 1B1 today, we had only put in a skeleton of a flight plan (origin and destination) in our CNX-80 and filled in the rest along the way. At some point in this process, we got the message "No active waypoint" (or words to that effect). I've gotten this before, when reprograming flight...

It looks like the new CNX-80 is the way of the future. Has anyone used one?

Anybody know how to exit from simulator mode (in a real unit and in the Windows simulator program, if different)? The Windows program "remembers" which mode you are in so it appears impossible to exit from the sim mode.

I have an experimental airplane which now has a GX50 GPS and two comms, one nav. The second comm is having problems, so intend to replace it and the GX50 with either a CNX80 or a GNS430. Any comments on advantages of one over the other?? In particular, which unit has the best comm/ILS qualities,...

I have a trip for my boss starting on Sunday July 10, through Sunday July 17. My usual Co-Pilot is not going to be able to do the trip. The trip will start in Santa Barbara, CA and we will fly to Auckland, New Zealand (NZAA). We will overnight for two days, then head over to Tokyo (RJAA), and then...

Co-Pilot Needed Urgent - for 12-day, long-range mission Departure tomorrow! Space shuttle experience appreciated, but not necessary (will train). Pay scale : $12.50/hour (no shuttle time) Up to $18.00/hour (type rated and current).

OK, so there I was, training one of our scarce "newbie" controllers at ZTL yesterday. There was a lot of convective weather and we were busy busy busy trying to keep people from killing each other in the saddles and holes between the storms. Anyway, as usual when I am training someone and...

I have mixed feelings about Don Brown's columns on AvWeb -- sometimes I learn from them, and sometimes they're just the same rants rehashed. Today, I stumbled by accident on a series of online columns by a Michael Oxner, a private pilot who works as a Canadian ACC controller at Moncton Centre...

Anyone familiar with how the autoflight/HSI interface works on a CRJ100 aircraft? The NTSB just released the factual data on the Comair crash at Lexington. Following is a summary page from the FDR report: http://tinyurl.com/2zovqb Does this mean the HSI heading bugs were also set to 226 or 227...
