Lost comms after radar vector by
Mike Ciholas
I had a "discussion" with my instructor about lost comms in IMC after
a radar vector. To illustrate, consider this scenario (gratuitously
enhanced with specifics):
Depart BJC (Boulder, CO) for a flight to EVV (Evansville, IN). You
expect the flight to take 4:30. You depart at 1200Z. Once...

North Atlantic IFR routes by
JJ
When commercial aircraft fly across the big pond during IFR weather, how
does FAA and foreign Air Traffic control keep an eye on them without
radar? I understand most flights to and from Europe go up over
Newfoundland and over south of Greenland and Iceland. Can a radar see
out that far? Just...

"K" in VOR identifier by
Jack Cunniff
I had a first today; flying VFR across New England on this clear winter
day, my route took me over Bradley, KBDL. I always tune VORs during my
flights, so tuned Bradley's VOR.
Identifying, though, was interesting. The morse identifier was FOUR
characters, the last three of which were B D L. I had...

horrible ifr training x-c by
Dave Jacobowitz
Okay, I've been doing this IFR training thing now for a
few months, flying once or twice a week, and it's been
going pretty well. I've not really had any trouble with
the knowledge part (self studied for the written and
got 95%) and have been doing nicely with the skill stuff
as well, getting the...

Q about lost comms on weird clearance by
Paul Tomblin
I normally fly out of Rochester NY, which is towered and class C. And 99%
of the time my clearance route is "Vectors as filed". But yesterday I had
to stop off at Batavia to pick up something, and then continue on to
Goderich Ontario. Since it's just easier to be on an IFR flight plan...

KLN94 LOC DME Source by
Greg Esres
Anyone have a tip as to the best way to enter the LOC DME source on
the KLN94?
The NRST function won't always pick it up, if there are a lot of
intersections around.
I've tried loading the fix into an alternate flight plan, and then do
a DIRECT operation later, but I couldn't get that to work.

Type certificates by
Tarver Engineering
Knowing what Part 21 Type Certificate you have matters because that is how
the other Parts of CFR 14 are tied together. Say one doesn't know they have
an experimental type certificate, then how can they know that Part 23 and 43
are not applicable? Additional regulatory requirements are made for...

Passed my IFR checkride today. by
[email protected]
Thanks to all on this group who have answered various
questions over the last five months.
I passed my instrument checkride today!
My last checkride (other than BFR's) was in 1983.
I was very nervous screwed up the first manouver and after that all went well.
I now have a license to learn.

IFR Refresher January 2004 Quiz by

Ok, this isn't the first time this has happened, but this month's quiz
asks you for the airport ident of the airport you use if you can't get the
local altimeter settings. Ok, the plate says to use "Whichita
Mid-Continent", that part I got. But then the quiz answer says to look on
