Has anyone seen this video from King Schools: GPS From A-Z Featuring The KLN94 - DVD? I'm looking for a training aid to really get familiar with the KLN94 on the ground... Any other suggestions are welcome... Thanks.

One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit. Most of my flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically. I had a most enjoyable flight with CJ - although he has since earned my...

Its been fun but I am leaving all usenet group's maby see you all at a fly-in or two over the years

GPS can substitute for the ADF. Radar can substitute also. So, if the acft has no ADF or the NDB is OTS, so, it could be. "Rick McPherson" wrote in message ... | On Aug 28 I was practicing approaches at KAGC (FEW 008 BKN...

I've never seen the/a definitive answer to this question: Are there any negative legal ramifications of using IFR plates obtained from, for instance, the AOPA website, so long as the plate is current (they're now printing the date range of the plate's validity in the margins), printed...

Aside from a call or visit to an FSS, or DUATS, are there any other "legal" sources from which a pilot is allowed to obtain weather reports? I'm not talking about what's actually *useful* here...hell, sometimes the weather channel is the most useful thing out there...I'm interested in what's...

Anyone know where on the web I can get hold of the legend for the Jepp low level enroute charts. Unlike the NACO charts the Jepp charts don't have the legend on the charts. Having used the NACO for the written, I wanted to evaluate the Jepps by comparing them with the NACOs. I have a couple of...

One of my students asked me if it is legal to let a friend fly his plane. Student is legal PIC, not an instructor and the plane has dual controls, his friend is an adult, but no license. But I have to admit, although I don't know of any specific prohibition on this, I'm not sure if I should tell...

I have a recently installed Garmin GPS430. But I also have a Lowrance (handheld) 1000 GPS to use. The Lowrance is MUCH better at situational awareness than the panelmount. Please understand--I have no complaints about the 430; it is a great unit. However, the Lowrance 1000 is a very, very nice...

The New and Enlightened Federal Aviation Administration of the Bush Administration has stated on many occasions they want to run more like a "Business" and be more receptive to the airlines and the airline business model. Really? OK IF AIRLINES SOLD PAINT Customer: Hi. How much is your...

Light gun work with ATC COMS - Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw2XtN15qOA Two weeks ago I was with a friend who had COM failure and that was my first experience with light guns. Because of this, I thought it would behoove me to brush up on my experiences in a plane. I posted my experiences...

Looks like this Friday I may be picking up a family member on the way to KHYA. I'll be leaving from KTTA in NC and we're trying to decide which airport would be better to pick up a pax at in a C172. The choices are KBOS, KPVD, or KIAD (she's in Syracuse and will have to fly commercial to one of...

I seem to remember live lightning maps being available, similar to radar maps but showing lightning strikes. However I can't find them. It seems they would be quite useful for preflight, and as an onboard weather too. Anybody know where these are (or if I'm just misremembering?) Jose -- The...

Having just crossed the border, and visited a few non-towered airports in the US, I'm afraid I may have done some injustice by using the PCL pilot controlled lighting a bit too much. Knowing the somewhat precarious financial state of those airports, and the electricity hog the lights can be, I'm...

I saw this again on Discovery Wings today, and I think I picked up on the following: The controller (tower?) says: "QNH one-zero-zero-eight" This is the local altimeter setting in hPa (hecto Pascal) Lindbergh replies: "three-zero-zero-eight" Which would be the "normal" / US setting, in inches of...
