Weather Flying - Buck by
[email protected]
I'm recently received my IFR ticket and flew in actual a couple weeks
ago for only the 2nd time. I picked up some rime ice at 9000' in a calm
stratus layer. Scared the &#&((*@# out of me! I promptly turned back
for home.
I just didn't feel like I got any real training for this in the IFR
work....

Why would someone choose to fly VFR on top? by
Ron Garret
Subject line says it all. In light of the fact that VFR on top subjects
you to both VFR and IFR constraints, why would anyone ever choose to fly
VFR on top? I can only think of two possible reasons:
1. There happens to be clear air at a +500 foot altitude and not at the
corresponding...

Oct 18 course reversal change by
[email protected]
The FAA recognized that a mistake had been made in the recent revision
to the AIM concerning course reversals; that the wording was in conflict
with the 1994 legal interpretation on the issue.
At last week's FAA/Industry Aeronautical Charting Forum the following
language was adopted to replace the...

ILS DME strength? by
Jim Burns
Does anybody know the typical range of the DME signal when DME is installed
in conjunction with a localizer or ILS?
I shot an ILS yesterday that had it's compass locator decommissioned some
time ago, so now the approach requires a VOR or DME, which is fine, because
we've got both in addition to...

Hello!
The new version 3.0 of Seattle Avionics's Voyager just came out, and
it has a nice moving map. I want to start using it on my laptop, but
need to buy a GPS, first. SA recommends the Pharos GPS360, but I
always thought the Garmin GPS 10 may be the better option. Does
anyone have...

Online weather radar? by
Paul Tomblin
I subscribe to WxServer so that I can quickly check the radar and
satellite pictures on my cell phone if I find myself at an airport without
a wireless internet connection or a DTN server. But I just got a Treo,
and it has a real web browser in it. I can get the Intellicast radar

Making the safe decision (AKA "I hate AIRMET ZULU") by
Paul Tomblin
I'm parked at Barnes Muni (BAF) and I want to be home in ROC. But there
is a AIRMET ZULU for ice in the clouds and precipitation above the
freezing level, and there are low clouds layered up to the flight levels,
and the MEA is above the freezing level. So it looks like we're going to
be driving...

Wrong data in Jepp GPS database? by
Roy Smith
I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back
into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered
it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8
and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

GNS480 missing some LPV approaches by

Copying over some information from the GNS480-users yahoo group. The poster
claims that he received this information from Garmin customer support. Garmin
apparently requests that this information be disseminated. Funny, why don't they
just put it on their web site? Anyway:

Steven gave a wonderful presentation as to the conflict of statute
and nautical miles to be used in the U.S. during the 1950s to 70s. What he
failed to give us who the genius was to come up with both sets of numbers on
our airspeed indicators.

Garmin 530 Fatal Error by
Wyatt Emmerich
My flight instructor is quite upset. He says every single one recurrent
pilots is making the same potentially fatal mistake. When they reach MDA or
the MAP, they hit the OBS/SUSP button as soon as it lights up. The Garmin
530 immediately paints a magenta line to the hold waypoint....
