Training at Hervey Field in Snohomish, WA... by
[email protected]
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

Staying current/proficient by
Kevin Clarke
Hi All,
Open question to folks, what strategies do you use to stay current or
better yet, proficient?
Check ride is right around the corner. I got signed off for the ride
today. So the currency question is in the back of my mind now. Most of
my flying is x-ctry (2/month) with some local scenic...

IFR Checkride WX Questions by
kevmor
So my IR checkride is approaching, and the thing I'm the most sketchy
on I think is the weather charts. I'm fine with TAF, METAR, and other
textual, but I guess it's because I can't find all the exact same
graphics on DUATS/DUAT that they use on the FAA exam (prognostic
charts, etc). Even...

bad vectors, no hand off by
Lurker
Flyers,
I just want some of your thoughts on this. My plane partner and I went out
last night to do some practice instrument approaches. He wore the hood and
I was the right-seat safety pilot.
ATC was not too busy and it was a nice VFR night. First, after we asked for
a practice ILS 24 into...

Safety Pilots? by
Wizard of Draws
I rent and fly 172s out of Gainesville, GA (KGVL). I used to fly out of 47A
and had a number of safety pilots available there (too far to be convenient
for them now), but this FBO is fairly new and doesn't have a list put
together yet of pilots that can safety for me.
Anyone know of a good place...

Flight Following question by
Jim Carter
So far, every time I come out of ROG and request flight following to it
doesn't matter where, I get a discrete squawk that allows departure to
hand me off to Memphis Center, or Dallas, or Kansas City. Coming out of
LIT however I've never been given anything except a local code and then

ASA On Top 9? by
Hamish Reid
I realise it's only been released for a few days, but as I'm in the
market for a non-MS sim, and as I have an older version that works just
fine but needs updating so it can do real GPS, etc., does anyone have
anything to say one way or another about ASA's new On Top 9?
Thanks,
Hamish

Coming along slowly. If you're interested check it out. Looks like the
prints will only be 8x10's, and probably not worth fooling with, but, hey,
they're out there.

Realistic Instrument Training using MSFS 2004 by
[email protected]
Hi All,
I'm a longtime lurker here, but now I have a question I hope the group
can help me with. I am working toward my instrument rating (21 hours
so far), and want to use MSFS to practice (cheaply). I do fine with
holding a heading, but I find it very difficult to maintain an
altitude. The...

Is this true? by

The REAL reason for record delays are...
1. ****ed off controllers going by the book (Time in trail)
because FAA Management treats their controllers and
employees like dog ****
2. Incompetent social engineered marble mouth talking black

GPS / WxWorx Software by
GFValvo
I'm looking for opinions / stories / experiences about the various GPS/Wx
software packages that are available for Tablet PCs.
I have a Motion LS800 and a WxWorx receiver. But, I'm not sure I'm happy
with my current choice of software.

Instrument Rating tests by
kevmor
I understand it as the IRA (Instrument Rating Airplane) and FII
(Flight Instructor Instrument) tests come from the same question
bank. Does the FII test expire like the IRA does? I didn't see it in
part 61 unless I'm missing something. To me, it seems like none of
the tests expire for CFI?

Airline flight plans by

I took an AA flight from SAN to ORD Tuesday that looped up through
Utah and Wyoming, maybe to catch strong upper winds. But I got to

IF labeling on approach charts by

I noticed that on some approaches there are fixes labeled IF
(Intermediate Fix), such as FONTS INT in http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/00664IL14.PDF
where there is a cross radial, but other approaches such as EJAAY in
http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/05850I15.PDF isn't labeled as an IF. I

Anybody know of a shop in the New England region that has experience

Flight planning software minimization algorithm by

Most of the software out there will compute a flight based on the

been the case for decades.
What I am looking for is the reverse. Given a destination, aircraft
