GPS for NDB IAF on ILS? by
Jim Burns
I don't have my AIM here at work, and I'm on dial up, so I won't attempt to
download it, but I'm looking at the ILS 32 into KMQY Smyrna TN. It says ADF
REQUIRED which I understand is to identify the IAF which is the SWZ NDB not
associated with a marker beacon, inside the outer marker. This is the...

Is XM weather worthwhile? by
Ron Garret
My SR22 partners want to install XM weather to the tune of about $10k.
I'm not convinced it's worthwhile. The plane is based in Southern
California where we don't tend to get the kind of squirrelly weather
they get east of the Mississippi. In the summer we'll get isolated
thunderstorms over the...

I signed up for the IFR chart program from AirCharts, but didn't have
an IFR rating. Now as I'm starting training, I'm trying to do the

FAA Thumped again by
RAMButt
No big surprise here. The politically Correct destruction of once was a
proud professional organization is evident. Rather than Air Safety, Gay
Pride celebrations and promoting unqualified minorities into management
is the new priority of the "Politically Correct misaligned unsafe FAA"

Garmin 430 and ILS by
Greg Esres
The Garmin 430 documentation says that you can use the GPS for course
guidance on an ILS/LOC up until the final approach fix. Where exactly
does the approval for this come from? My inclination would have been
that in absence of an overlay, you could not use GPS anywhere after
the IAF.
Also,...

REVISED lInstrument Procedures Handbook by

WAAS Airport Costs? by
[email protected]
I have the ear of some local government development people, who are
contemplating upgrading some airports. Money is tight, so an ILS is
probably not under consideration. So, I want to recommend to them
checking into a WAAS installation. Does anyone know what the prices of
such equipment for an...

Contact Approach by
Russ MacDonald
Being from Texas, and flying mostly in the Midwest and South, I have never
asked for nor had any need for a contact approach. If I see the runway I
tell the controller, and he gives me a visual. In fact, I can't remember
ever hearing a contact approach requested around here.
Then, I whenever I...

Air Safety at risk by Unqualified FAA Management by

In 1837, Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen, wrote a wonderful fairy

ILS Rwy 20 at Marion, ILL by
Robert Scott
In the latest Jepp update for Marion, ILL, the procedure has changed
to what looks for all the world like a LOC approach. The minimums for
the ILS have been replaced by ‘NA’, and the DA has been replaced by an
MDA. Yet the title of the approach is still ILS Rwy 20. Why didn’t
they change the...
