FAA Knowledge Test Results by
Richard Moore
I had taken the Flight Engineer Knowledge test a couple of years ago
(8/2001 to be exact.) I just took the knowledge test again today (10/2003),
due to the fact that some job applications wanted the test to be current
within 24 months, and the previous test had expired. I noticed on the...

Flight plan by
Hankal
I am filing a flight plan 750 NM.
I have 3 fuel stops appr venly spaced. I have 48 gallon usable and burn 11 gph.
I could make this trip with only 2 stops, but choose 3. I save about $100.00 by
landing at places where fuel is less that the big airports.
Many of my pilot friends tell me that I am...

everything seemed fine. Checked with FSS - no additional notams
Only once up in the air did ATC advise me of a NOTAM indicating VOR YEE U/S.
The problem is that without an...

CH Product Yoke with IP Trainer 6.5 by
Sanjay Kumar
Folks !
I am planning to start my IFR training and wanted to get
a good Yoke + Trainer software. I got CH Yoke USB and downloaded
IP Trainer 6.5 which supports the USB Yoke. Unfortunately
in my demo runs I find the Software to be too senstive to Yoke
pitch - its always in a dive or a climb making...

Filing direct by
John Harper
There was a thread a while ago about filing direct, and the need to include
a fix
for each ARTCC boundary. Just thought I'd give my recent experience. I've
been flying up and down from CA to the North West a bit lately. The V route
from the Seattle area to the Bay Area is a horror. So when I came...

Wet, Bumpy, and Cold by
Andrew Gideon
Ha! I bet you thought that this was going to be some porn spam.
Well...perhaps not after the "Cold" bit grin.
I'd a very nice "getting feet wet" flight today. I was in the clouds for
roughly half the brief (two hour) (CDW-SWF-CDW) flight, I was in wet clouds
watching the thermostat drop, and...

IFR Routing Toronto to Windsor (CYTZ - CYQG) by
Rob Pesan
Just got my rating a few months ago and have a few questions;
I want to fly from Toronto City Center (CYTZ) to Windsor (CYQG) IFR.
The CFS shows a preferred route of: V443 YQO HADAR ARRIVAL
I assume I would be cleared via the Island 8 departure and vectored to
V443. The HADAR arrival says DME...

DME req'd on ILS (not ILS-DME) approach? by
Don Faulkner
Hi folks. I've got a bit of a puzzle here.
First off, I'm a student pilot, so maybe I haven't gotten to this yet.
Take a look at the ILS 18 plate for Springdale, AR (ASG):

First, note that the approach is "ILS RWY 18"

GPS Altitude with WAAS by
Phil Verghese
I posted earlier about seeing differences of up to 500' between the
altitude shown on my Garmin GPS 196 (even while receiving WAAS) and my
altimeter. The GPS would consistently indicate higher than the
altimeter. Dan Luke suggested the cause might be non-standard
temperatures. After some more...

David Megginson
I was glancing at the IAP for the CYKF (Kitchener/Waterloo) ILS 25

CIRCLING 1560 (506) 1 1/2 1560 (506) 2 1700 (646) 2
Ouch! Does anyone know why...

RAIM Prediction by

Is there a site that provides online RAIM predictions for the US? I know
that Flight Service is supposed to be able to provide this, but it would be

SLE LOC BC RWY 13: ARTTY Int NA for FAF by
Ben Jackson
The SLE LOC BC RWY 13 FAF is located at ARTTY:
http://myairplane.com/databases/approach/NorthWest/SLE_lbr13.pdf
In the notes it says "Artty Int not authorized for final approach fix".
However it sure does look like the FAF in the elevation view. So only
the fan marker can be used to identify the...
