LOC(BC) MDA: 287 ft AGL by David Megginson
I've just noticed in the latest CAP (Canadian approach plates) that the MDA for the LOC(BC) 25 approach at Ottawa/CYOW has been lowered from 800 ft (427 AGL) to 660 ft (287 AGL). I can see how it makes operational sense -- it is the approach runway usually named in the ATIS (despite the fact that...

Re-learning IFR by Jim
jbo, I'm roughly in the same position as you and I've found that reading the AIM really helps more than ever. I've been teaching a instrument rating ground school and honestly the answers to most of the students questions are in the AIM. Although the main objective is for the students to prepare...

Garmin 530 VOR Approach Using GPS or VLOC by Rich
I have a Garmin 530 and a KAP 140 autopilot in my 182. I was practicing VOR approaches with the CDI on the 530 set to GPS. I noticed that the autopilot would warn that it was about to disengage when I reached the FAF. It does this consistently. If I put the CDI in VLOC, the autopilot would not try...

Garmin fixes moving waypoint problem -- almost by Jon Woellhaf
Last month, Dave Butler wrote about a problem caused by the relocation of the SAV VOR. He has a Garmin GPSMAP 196, but this problem is probably present in many of their GPSs. I have a GPSMAP 295 and suspected it might have the same problem. I noticed today that Garmin has added version 2.40 to...

CNX-80 vs Garmin 430/530 by Paul DeSmet
It looks like the new CNX-80 is the way of the future. Has anyone used one?

ADF or RMI? by Tom S.
When I quit flying some years back, RMI's were expensive and found generally only found in the "heavy metal". Now they seems quite common? What particular advantages do they offer? I can't find any good articles (other than marketing) on them. I was wondering if I should add one to a bird I plan...

GPS Degradation in ZDC/ZNY areas by Jay Somerset
Has anyone alse tried to use GPS in this area? Mine showed current location pretty accurate (within 1/4 mile) but indicated track wallowed +/- 20 degrees from actual. What sort of degradation tests are being run that wil affect GPS this way? No outages encountered, just misleading track...

Preferred Routing or Tower Enroute Control by cefarthing
Any good online sources for the most likely routing you will get from ATC? All of the online flight planning sources I've found seem to only use the most direct via airways when selected vs the Preferred or TEC routing you almost always wind up getting.

how I map my flights by Snowbird
I thought I'd share how I've been displaying the tracks of my flights. I found this very useful in helping me assess and analyze my errors. It's also been interesting on long flights into crowded airspace to see what the tracons actually do with us. I'm also hoping it will spark a discussion...

Garmin 430 question by smf
With a waypoint on my 430 and pressing the OBS button my 430 draws a "radial". The radial that is on the obs indicator. What i don't understand is why the radial showing on the display is white and not magenta? The reciprical of the radial is magenta. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Thanks

Garmin530 and MX20 by O. Sami Saydjari
In an article at http://avionicswest.com/archive/shootout.htm#2003 about Garmin 530 vs CNX-80, many of the pilots said that they would want a combination of a Garmin 530 AND an MX20. I do not understand. Isn't the Garmin 530 also an MFD capable of displaying multiple inputs, like weather and...

Challenging instrument approaches? by [email protected]
I'm looking for challenging instrument approaches in the United States that I can have my students fly on the simulator. I'd be interested in hearing your suggestions. Any type of IAP is welcome as long as it makes the pilot work a little bit. Tia Richard Kowalski

Another Garmin 430 question by Jim
I've been told that it is possible to load successive approaches in the flight plan page but have been un able to either figure out how to do it or find any info in the manual about it. For instance if I wanted to create a flight plan to take off at one airport, fly to a second airport then...

Used Avionics by O. Sami Saydjari
I plan to buy my first airplane and "trade-up" in about 3-4 years. I expect my initial investment will be around $75K. At that price, it does not seem to be worth putting in brand new avionics to the tune of $12-$15K (thinking specifically about a Garmin 430/MX-20 combo, or a GX-50/MX-20 combo). ...

Tempest in a teapot - IFR 'training' in-between lessons by Cecil E. Chapman
Just a question for y'all out there. In-between lessons I've been practicing approaches using my OnTop IFR program. It seems to work, very well, in terms of getting me to recall the procedures and frequencies by sheer repetition when it comes to my actual lesson day. My question though: Is such...

Jeppesen- no more Express Packs? by Colin Kingsbury
Just stopped by my friendly local chart agent and they told me that Jeppesen isn't offering dealer pricing anymore, so the only way I can get Jepp plates is through a subscription. AFAICT from their site, my only option (I'm based at BED near BOS) is to buy a subscription that covers the Eastern...

While we're talking about Garmin GPS by Windecks
On an IFR proficiency flight with my partner the other day, we got into a little debate about the best way to use the Garmin 430 for ATC position reporting. He uses the cursor on the map page to point at an airport or NAVAID, then reads out the distance and (reciprocal) bearing. I go to NRST, and...

Misleading Notam by Greg Esres
One of our local pilots misunderstood a common Notam, as shown below. He thought the "ADD: From Shelby to RW 17: 3.52 degrees" meant add 3.52 degrees to the final approach course. How reasonable do you think his interpretation? (BTW, the notam just adds a descent gradient to a NP approach.) FDC...
