Flight planning software minimization algorithm by
Andrew Sarangan
Most of the software out there will compute a flight based on the
user's route, time of departure and altitude. This is a fairly
straight forward task which could be done without a computer, as has
been the case for decades.
What I am looking for is the reverse. Given a destination, aircraft
type...

AF/D's and NOTAM by
Andrew Sarangan
I am curious how many of you routinely consult the AF/D prior to every
IFR flight. The reason is, a well known FAA inspector at a recent
safety seminar commented that those little green books were not of
much use anymore, and that most pilots simply don't use them. I was
surprised, because I've...

Can ATC assign an airway if filed direct? by
Andrew Sarangan
If you file to a VOR direct, can ATC clear you along an airway
instead, and expect you to look up the airways? In other words, how
important is to carry an enroute chart if you don't plan on using
airways?

Victor Airways on Approach Control Radar? by
Andrew Sarangan
The other day I queried an approach controller to find out how well we
are doing tracking the airway centerline. He said his radar scope does
not show the airways. I was surprised by this. Is this normal? I know
that Center controllers have airways on their radar, but it appears
that Approach...

Pop-up IFR from Clearance Delivery by
Andrew Sarangan
Can Clearance Delivery (through an RCO on the ground) give a pop-up
IFR instead of Approach? So far I have found that they ask me to call
Approach when airborne, or file with FSS. Is there an operational
consideration that prevents CD from giving a pop-up?

Can US enroute charts be used in Canada? by
Andrew Sarangan
Are the Canadian areas shown in the US enroute charts valid for IFR
navigation? Unlike the VFR sectional charts, I don't see any warnings
printed on the IFR enroute charts.

Obtaining IFR clearances in Canada by
Andrew Sarangan
How do you get clearances from a non-towered field in Canada? Do they use
RCO/GCO or void-times like in the US? Are pop-up clearances used?

Substitute Routes - what exactly are they? by
Andrew Sarangan
These are shown on the LL enroute chart by little brown circles connected
by a line. The legend says "substitute route, see NOTAMs". There are
several originating from the DQO VOR near the Washington DC area, but there
could be others as well. I have never noticed these before. Any ideas what
they...

Anyone willing to email me a Canadian Chart? by

Can someone be kind enough to email me the instrument approach and
Flight Supplement page for two Toronto airports (City Center and
Buttonville)? Scanned images would be great.
I am leaving on a trip this week and did not realize that buying charts
from Canada will take at least a week by...

MMU 5 DP lost comm question by
Andrey Serbinenko
A question to IR pilots.
Suppose we have the following situation: a flight departing from
MMU rw 23, cleared as follows: "Morristown 5 dep, vectors to BIGGY,
then V3, MAZIE, etc... 2000 feet, expect 4000 10 minutes after
departure, dep freq, squawk etc..."
Now, during climb-out via heading 210...

plate question by
Andrey Serbinenko
After looking at the ILS-Z approach in NC that was discussed here some time
ago, I was curious how many similar approaches there are, and if they all
are military. Thanks to the uniform naming NACO uses for its chart files,
it was fairly easy to get a list of all the ILS-Z approaches: there...

CAT IIIC minimums by
Andrey Serbinenko
A question: the landing minimums section for ILS CAT-III approaches
may have separate lines for A, B, and C. In some cases the C line
has an "NA" for visibility, and on some other plates the whole C
line is missing. So, what's the difference? Does "NA" mean "not
authorized", i.e. CAT-IIIC cannot be...

Most Challenging Instrument Approaches in Western US? by
Angus Davis
I am curious to hear this group's thoughts on the most challenging
instrument approaches in the Western US. Perhaps this not the best way
to phrase the question, because I am planning a trip with a fellow
instrument student and our instructor around the Western US this winter,
similar to those...

Looks like XMradio weather is hitting the streets.. by
Anonymous
Anyone looked at http://www.airgator.com/ ? Looks like one of the
first portable WX systems based on XMradio broadcast technology.

I don't suppose anyone has used this and could offer feedback? I wish
AnywhereMap would change from the GlobalStar phones to this
technology....

IPC in a Simulator? Phoenix area.. by
Anonymous
I am looking for a flight school in the Phoenix area that can give me
an IPC (or let me log approaches for currency) in a simulator. Sim
time just seems so much more efficient than taking the real thing out
in CAVU and putting a hood on... Does anyone know of such a place?
Please post your...

Did I violate an FAR? by
Anonymous coward #673
The other day I was under the hood with a safety pilot, but I was not
IFR current. I requested a "practice approach in VFR conditions" and
was cleared for an actual approach. I advised ATC that I just wanted a
practice approach and they said, "We have to put you in the system for
." So I...

EFAS by

I am a pilot from Toronto, Canada. Will be flying all the down to Fort
Myers in Florida next week hopefully if this weather ever lets up. Coming

How do I use EFAS in the US. I know the frequency is 122.0.
What kind of remarks do I use on my initial call...
