anyone fly a Cessna 182 into Teterboro? from Cleveland OH area? tips? best FBO? thanx Greg

Recently I flew a 172 to SBA. ILS 7 was in use, wind 250 at 7. The runway is quite long so I wasn't concerned about the tailwind. However, if I had been concerned about the wind direction, is it best to ask the approach controller for a different runway? Or would the tower deal with it? I...

My club just got a very nicely equipped Bonanza with a King KFC-200 A/P system installed (along with a CNX-80 GPS). I think I've got most of it figured out, but yesterday something happend which I didn't understand. The active leg in the GPS was a course of about 230, with a stiff wind from the...

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 just got some information back from the FAA on why an ADF is now required after several decades of being able to fly the approach w/o the ADF.... "Mr. Gary: The FAA Flight Procedures Office has issued a NOTAM amendment 22C. This amendment states that the ILS Runway 02 approach at SAC Airport...

What are the odds of getting the MOCA instead of the MEA going from the Phoenix area to Santa Fe? Anyone know? I like to be IFR for the services, but the MEAs are a pain.... --Dan

Scenario 1.... Severe clear weather from point A to point B going east. MRA is 7000 in which part of this area is below ATC radar coverage from past experience. Highest OROCA enroute is 2600, filing is direct from airport to airport. If I filed "VFR on top" /G for 3500, would I be legal to...

Is it possible to use cities as waypoints in flight plan and how? The only way I can make a city as a waypoint is by using panning function on the map - point to the city and then press "direct to" key. Or it is some kind of safety feature - not to alloud to use cities as waypoints? THNX

Do the two VRF cross country trips required for the commercial rating (2 hrs, 100 nm min, one day, one night) have to be dual? FAR 61.129(a)(3) seems to imply that it should be dual in the statement: "20 hours of training on the areas of operation listed in 61.127(b)(1) of this part that includes...

Last weekend I flew IFR Paine to Eugene. I filed V23, but was cleared to the west along OLM V165 UBG V495 CVO EUG. Similar routing for the return flight. I asked each controller (except Seattle Approach) for vectors EUG direct when able, but each controller said they needed to keep me on the...

I have a student looking for some affordable software which will simulate 1. Flight in a C-172 2. ATC communications I'd love some feedback and recommendations. Thanks, Helen

Hi, I recently learned that VOR can be "calibrated" or adjusted to take into account any error discovered at the 30-day check. For example, if you need to set OBS at 44 to get centered CDI on the 42 radial from VOR on airport checkpoint, and 219 to center CDI on the 222 radial, then you record the...

If you up there in the Cockpit, look out of the window and see an Lawnmower, don't be alerted, you are not crazy. They now have flying Lawnmowers. The same group of Hobby-ingenieurs also developed a flying doghouse and working on a flying Washmachine and a flying...

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...
