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...

OK, here's a new take on an old debate: I fly a 172 with 2 good NAV/COMs, an M1 Loran and a flaky ADF in the Northeast US. Since everything up here is airways and most of the fields I go to have an ILS or LOC approach, this is enough to get away with on most of the flights I take. This is the...

Bust your altitude and it makes the papers (or the Drudge Report, in this case): http://www.wokr13.tv/entertainment/story.aspx?content_id=A4E8D35C-E98C-4449- B718-22EEF76AE40A Morgan Freeman was flying into TEB (in a turbine I presume since he says he was coming down to 3000 from FL210) and it...

I'm considering getting the Terrain Awareness MCC card, for my 2000c and wondering if any of the list members have installed this upgrate. A third party, (non-compensated) review or or opinions would be very helpfull for our list members who are considering getting of these. What do you think of...

Maybe another way to describe what I'm looking for, is a Consumer Report's type of grid that shows features of each of the GPS's and ranks them as "good, better, and best" Anyone know of comparative review of several GPS's in one place? Thanks for answering here.

YIPPEE! I'm now a private pilot! I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday. What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd be, and went very well. Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations about...

I am planning to get my commercial pilot certification but I am not sure where to go to do it. I am interested in training with Snohomish Flying Service but I am not sure how reputable their flight school is. Could anyone offer me any advice about training at Harvey Field or any experiences with...

I was asked if I would accept an ASR approach into a satellite airport for controller training. I said, sure no problem. I got a wide vector that put me on a 15 mile final. The controller gave me a "10 miles from airport, complete pre-landing checklist". I've never heard that one before - it...

Quick follow up on my IFR to CLT in a Piston Single. Thanks to the group for the info - it was quite useful. Took the trip starting last Thursday - used CLT ATC's web site to time my arrival during a "slow" period. I did ask my local controller if they had any LOA's with CLT. I'm based in...

Anyone flown IFR into CLT in a piston single? I've got a commercial flight leaving CLT next month. I'd be flying in around 4pm on weekday. Thanks! Chris

I have flown into Rhode Island several times, and always file direct. However, as I begin to approach the area (about 150 mi out) ATC gives me ammended routing. My problem is that I am unfamiliar with the navaids/airways in that part of the country and it adds a lot of stress to the flight trying...

Hello all, Anybody know of an available function in the KLN-89B that shows 'velocity made good?' That is, if you are not flying directly toward a waypoint, what is the closing velocity? Groundspeed, as reported, is relative to the velocity vector, so that isn't the correct figure. Why? you ask. ...

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...

Has anyone found a REALLY great/comprehensive 'flight form' to use for their IFR flying? -- -- Good Flights! Cecil E. Chapman, Jr. PP-ASEL

I'm reviewing the approach plates for my Instrument lesson this coming Thursday (which I just realized is September 11, of all things..). I've found it useful to 'practice' approaches using OnTop flight sim before my lessons, seems to give me more 'bang for the buck'. Anyway (I'm sorry, in...

How come IAF, FAF, MM, MAP, are all depicted (usually) on the profile view of an approach chart but the IF (intermediate fix) is not? -- -- Good Flights! Cecil E. Chapman, Jr. PP-ASEL
