Hi All, I am an IFR student and a current subscriber of Jeppesen Airway manual express service (East). Every 28 days I get a revision from Jeppesen which includes revisions for the approach plates. My initial packet had enroute charts and I have received update for an enroute chart only once....

I was flying into KSNY (Sidney, NE) after shooting an approach into KAKO (Akron, CO) and requested the VOR DME Rwy 12 approach. I told center that I wanted to do the full approach complete with the DME arc, as I needed practice with these (currently an instrument student). The controller cleared me...

I just read about the GNS530W Pilot Guide. In page 3, it says: NOTE: The GNS 500W-series units use a different database than in the legacy units. The databases are incompatible between units. The GNS 500W-series units must use a WAAS enabled database. Can anyone who has...

I am a Flitestar user and I recently wanted to upgrade to Flitemap IFR. To my shock, Jeppesen appears to no longer sell Flitemap. Why would they stop selling their only moving map product? -- Will Internet: westes at earthbroadcast.com

Hi all.. just upgraded my excellent Jepp flitestar IFR to flitemap (very good deal it was too ! ) I bought a new laptop which prompted this , the very small Sony TR1MP... Im very impressed with the software indeed, but one question to those who have Flitemap..

Hi. Recently I bought the new Jeppesen FliteStar VFR but unfortunately it doesn't include Moving Map. It seems that they had Moving Map in FliteMap and they had FliteDeck separately from the JeppView package. They discontinued all that. I'm just VFR and plan to remain in this category, so, I don't...

Am I the only one that thinks that Jeppesen renewal notices are well past the phrase "sleazy" in their wordiing? I had a Skybound subscription that I did not renew when the subscription period ran out. Now I am getting these renewal notices (which is fine in and of itself) that say things like...

Has anyone managed to figgure out a fix for this dog? In order to get a GPS card programmed using the Jeppesen Skybondage adapter, I have to restart the application over and over, it is continually deciding that the card in the unit has 0 (zero) memory. It even tests green using the applications...

Did anyone come to a conclusion yet on the question of whether or not the PCI adapter will still work to update the cards for the 430/530 waas units ? Is it also confirmed that it uses a new card ? Jeppesens web site is terrible ! try a search on the key word waas and it comes up with zero...

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...

Question A: I'm trying to get fast and accurate at programming routes (and possible reroutes) into the KLN94 and G1000 navigators our club planes are equipped with. I was wondering, does ATC usually give you the VOR 3 letter ID or the full name? If it's the full name and it's unfamiliar...

time for me to renew my Jepp service. I usually get the California Express for $144 per year. Generally the work that I have to do is not that bad. My friend is going to be starting his IFR training soon and I was thinking maybe the two of us can get the Jeppview service that includes California...

In an earlier subject, Jeppview vs. paper Jepp Plates, I was waiting for my touch screen to arrive so I can use it to display JeppView/FliteDeck moving map. Anyways, it arrived on last Tuesday, and I went to airport to hook it up, and took it for a ride. And it works! It is very sun light...

Consider the following FARs, § 91.126 Operating on or in the vicinity of an airport in Class G airspace. b) Direction of turns. When approaching to land at an airport without an operating control tower in Class G airspace- (1) Each pilot of an airplane must make all turns of that airplane...

When I go to the calibration page of On Top v. 8.0 I don't see a red or green dot, but my joystick IS selected under the Flight Controls section and it works ok in the Control Panel Gaming section of Win 98. I therefore know the joystick is working, but something in the On Top program seems to be...

I just soloed a Schweizer 2-33 on my 14th birthday! It was the very last day of operations for the Windy City Soaring Association (11/28/04) and I was the last flight of the season. I was amazed how much nicer the 2-33 seemed to fly solo (or maybe it was just me). A special thank you goes out...

Word is that JZI is getting a new ILS and it should be published in the next cycle or two. Anyone know where I can preview the approach ? SK

I'm trying to figure out the right way to use the AP for an ILS. The manual isn't clear on this situation. Assume that I have a vector to intercept the localizer and have been cleared for the approach. Let's say that the intercept angle is less than 45 degrees. I'm starting in HDG & ALT hold...

I got my IFR rating 1 month ago and now have a license to learn. Pont of confusion. I enter a "direct-to" in the GPS and fly the desired track (DTK) heading with the Heading Bug and the autopilot in heading mode to the IAF. As I

I have a question about some nuances of the Bendix/King KAP 140 autopilot. Since the ink is still wet on my IFR rating (actually I have not even gotten the new one in the mail yet!) I am working on a personal "post checkride" syllabus. Part of this self training is to fly different routes on an...
