Center vs. Approach Altitudes by
Joseph D. Farrell
Hello - I have been looking in the AIM and a few other places and am
trying to track down where enroute approach control end and Center
control altitudes begin. When planning arrivals and depatures through
NYC/DC/PHL and BOS airspace I was curious where those altitudes begin.
I've been told...

KAP140 Autopilot Details by
News
I have a question about some nuances of the Bendix/King KAP 140 autopilot.
Since the ink is still wet on my IFR rating (actually I have not even gotten
the new one in the mail yet!) I am working on a personal "post checkride"
syllabus. Part of this self training is to fly different routes on an...

Crossing a stepdown fix high by
David Brooks
Is there any problem with controllers or examiners if I cross a stepdown fix
several hundred feet above the depicted altitude? I believe that, legally,
I can be at any altitude above the crossing minimum, but would this be a
bust of the PTS +/-100 tolerance, or cause a problem for ATC?
For...

req: a favor from someone who subscribes to Jepp for Hawaii by
[email protected]
I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has a Jepp chart
subscription that covers Hawaii. I'd like to get hold of at least the
low altitude enroute chart and hopefully also the approach plates for
Kona, Hilo, and (especially) Kamuela. The latter, which is where our
2nd home is, just got...

GPS approaches with Center by
Dan Luke
How many here have flown GPS approaches with Center as the approach control?
I'd be interested to hear your experiences.
I needed to fly one yesterday to get into Greenville, AL and the ZTL
controller sounded really befuddled about quite how to handle it. Because of
another recent experience, I...

Constant Angle Non-Precision Approaches (CANPA) by
John Bell
I noticed the thread about "Crossing a stepdown fix high" got quite a bit of
debate. One of the topics in much of the discussion centered on stabilized
approaches verses dive and drive.
I was initially a skeptic on using CANPA, but I have come to believe that it
is a better way of flying...

More KAP 140 questions by
News
I have another KAP 140 question for the group. Is there a way to have a
dual axis w/ pre-select model of the KAP140 act as though it is only a
single axis? Sometimes I want to engage the AP in heading mode but take
care of pitch myself. Engaging the AP in heading mode makes the AP
automatically...

My ADF has taken a nose dive for the final time and I'd like to install an
IFR GPS to be able to use it in lieu of an ADF and DME and the moving map

who uses FSS? by
McGregor
I get my pre-flight briefings from:
*) weathertap - RadarLab, area outlook, tafs, progs
*) ADDS - flightpath tool for AIRMETS & winds aloft along the route
*) FlightStar - to tell me how long it'll take, print nice-looking flight
plans, plan fuel stops, etc.
Then I call flight service and listen...

Current Pilots and/or CFI's -- FAR/AIM by
JBoDEAN
Just curious.
What brand FAR/AIM do you prefer? I've been using ASA's and debating
on trying something new for the 2004 edition. I know Gleim, ASA, Jepp
all have their FAR/AIM.
The other CFI's I work with here use the Jepp (book version, not the
subscription).

ILS Critical Area signage: Localizer or Glideslope? by
Adam K.
Hi,
Does the ILS Critical Area sign apply to the localizer or the
glideslope antenna? Or is this is a dumb question?
CCR (Concord California) 19R has a localizer approach. No glideslope.
It has an ILS Critical Area sign. I read recently that ILS
equipped fields require the ILS critical area sign...
