IFR Passengers? by
C Kingsbury
What are your standards for taking passengers up into actual conditions?
I've developed a decent feel for what people will tolerate VFR- who can take
a few bumps, who will get scared if its windy, etc. But I haven't got any
idea what to make of taking pax into the soup. Is it as disorienting...

Tips for new IFR pilot? by
Tlewis95
Hello
Does anyone have any tips for a new Instrument Pilot (me)
I did my first flight today (C77-UGN-C77) And about 45 minutes of it was in
IMC. It was kinda cool. My first appoach was missed due to a late (6mi) turn by
ATC but the next 2 were probably 6-8 out of 10. It was the ILS 23 ant...

GPS 430 or 480? by
Hankal
Just looked at my approach plates. Very few have NDB approaches, some are VOR
DME, some require ADF. More and more now are GPS.
Since I can use the GPS instead of DME for Some VOR approaches, is it not wise
(prudent)
to get an IFR certified GPS now?
Should it be a Garmin 430 or a 480? The cost of...

Logging Actual Time by
Brenor Brophy
Last weekend I flew my first Angel Flight from MRY down to SMO. There was
the remnants of a cold front that passed through the day before between the
Bay Area and LA so there was plenty of clouds hanging around, mostly
build-ups over the mountains with tops 90 to 110 and some lower layers
BKN30. So...

air and soon was in solid IMC. Some clouds were nasty black. Got course

IFR checkride in IMC: PASSED! by
gatt
When the weather is bad and the examiner gives you the option of delaying
for better weather, don't say "Well, if I can't pass my checkride in IMC I'm
probably not qualified for the IFR rating."
First attempt at the checkride. Icing forecast at 6,000. Examiner said
"No problem. We probably...

GPS approaches with VNAV vertical guidance by
Doug
With all the talk about the GNS80 and the Garmin 430 having VNAV and
LAAS capability, I would like to know something. Are there any actual
approaches in use that one can fly, today, that use these features? Do
you get vertical guidance from GPS derived altitude or is it vertical
guidance from...

Hi all.
Just got back from a Doug Carmody class...www.safepilot.com. Intensive
week, came with 20 hours, and finished up with a checkride today.
Great course, heavy in a very advanced simulator...no motion, but
great visuals. Can't say enough good about the experience, and if
anybody asks I will...

GPS approach question by
Matt Whiting
A few weeks ago I flew a practice GPS RWY 24 approach into ELM. I don't
recall the exact heading coming in, but it was in the sector leading to
CIMAN. I'm new to GPS approaches having just returned after several
years of inactivity, and still haven't got all the nuances figured out.
I expected...

Airnav? by
Hankal
I had reported on my trip to Georgia a few days ago.
Now the rest of the story. I used Airnav for the cheapest fuel stops.
Also used it to get my motel at Days Inn with the discount on Airnav.
When I called for my reservation the gentle man quoted a price of $71.00.
I told him I could get a better...

FAA going to crap by
BuzzBoy
I got a good friend who works for the FAA at a major airport.
He told me the experienced controllers and technicians are retiring and
leaving by the dozens and the only thing they are hiring are black
females and people who are basically unqualified and stupid. Now that's
scary. I never thought the...

ILS PRM approaches by

How much seperation do you get on final? Is there a standard? I know
that the runways are like 4200 feet or closer together... and I know
that seperation before and while turning to final is something like 3

CNS-80 VNAV by
John R. Copeland
After upgrading to software version 2, the CNS-80 offers a new
display page, resembling an HSI with a VDI pointer at its left.
The unit's computed VDI presentation is active for many GPS
approaches, as well as for all LNAV and LPV approaches.
However, I have not (yet) found in the pilot's manual...

Very long XC Story by

I decide to take the plane and really go on a long XC flight, well beyond
the definitions in the FARs, with my wife for a little R&R. This would be my
longest flight to date and even surpassed what I did for my commercial long
XC a couple of months ago.

wonders of VFR on top by
Robert M. Gary
The other day I wanted to get a clearance to get above an overcast
while in cruise. When I asked for a clearance the controller said it
would be awhile because my destination was more than 500 miles away.
He said he needed to get me a clearance all the way there even though
my intention was to...

GPS/WAAS VNAV approaches and runway length by
Nathan Young
The Garmin 480 now supports LPV approaches which are ILS like
approaches using WAAS-GPS for both LNAV and VNAV.
My question. I'm assuming the LPV approach would target 1000ft down
the runway as the TDZ (just like an ILS). Does this mean that LPV
approaches will not be added to the airports with...
