My First Time In Severe Turbulence (Long) by
David B. Cole
Tuesday's forecast for my neck of NJ was for a high of 63, light rain,
and 1500 overcast. The perfect day to get some actual IMC. My
instructor and I had planned on going to Hartford, CT to fly the LDA
Rwy 2 approach. However, by the time I made it to the airport the
layers were mostly scattered...

CD-ROM? How long does it take? I have to keep a fleet of King Air arcraft
updated. They have an obsolete Interstate GPS system. The portable uploader

Holds for currency requirements by
Paul Tomblin
I recently did 6 approaches to get back current again, but I forgot to
do a hold. My last hold was less than 6 months ago, so I'm still legal
for a few more days. What counts as a hold to fit that vaguely worded
requirement?
- A self-assigned hold while flying solo VFR in VMC?
- A self-assigned...

Briefing an approach plate, especially while flying by
Peter R.
My approach plate briefing, especially while flying, could use some
improvement. I received my instrument rating last March and have about 75
hours of actual IMC time since then, but I honestly feel my briefing of the
chart is not as thorough as it must be for optimum situational awareness.
I am...

IFR on the Fly by
O. Sami Saydjari
Let's say your 15 miles from your home airport in VMC, not on a flight
plan. You know the area well. On your way, unforecast conditions
(snow) causes visibility to start dropping below 3 miles. Ceilings are
at 1800. You are just below the ceiling. You know the area well enough
to do a contact...

Dreaded IPC by
Dan Luke
Ran into my CFII the other day in the FBO parking lot. I see him once
in a while around the airport, but I've flown with him only a couple of
times since I got the rating six years ago. After telling me one of his
corny jokes, he asked me how long it had been since I had an IPC. I
told him I'd...

My youngest daughter is graduating high school this May, and is looking to

in is Air Traffic Controller. She's also contemplating doing AFROTC at the

I want to start studying for my IFR rating. I'm from the US, resident

2) Its VMC and I'm IFR to Temple, level at 5000. At 25 miles out I report
Temple in sight. "N7NZ cleared visual approach to Temple, remain...

Does an IPC count as a BFR? by
Larry Jenkins
Okay, I've read the regulations and still can't figure out the answer to
this question: If I received an IPC from a CFII one year after my last BFR,
do I need to get another BFR in 12 months or 24 months from now??
Thanks in advance,

Why an NDB approach with a miss to an intersection? by
Ben Jackson
What's the point of the CVO NDB 17? It's an off-airport NDB approach
to a runway that also has ILS, VOR and GPS approaches, all with lower
minimums. Like all but one other approach (a GPS approach from the
south) it has a missed approach that takes you to an intersection hold
about 9 miles to the...
