Whatever happened to Thunderhead hood ? by Sanjay Kumar
I was reading the review of various hoods in Consumer Aviation (January 1999 - yeah thats 5 years ago !). They recommended Thunderhead and Best Hood among non-foggle solutions (I don't like foggles because whatever is wrong with me any eyeglass-wear just fogs up quickly). I have ordered Best Hood...

Strange and/or really difficult approaches by SeeAndAvoid
Howdy all, Got into a discussion of the strangest and/or most difficult instrument approach procedures with some friends recently. One guy used the GUC ILS RWY6 as an example (rules: you do NOT have GPS, are /A direct HBU from the NE, and CANNOT be vectored to the LOC due to radar coverage,...

Standard Instrument Procedures...published in text form? by Mark Astley
All, I was once told that instrument procedures (i.e. approaches) are published in text form, and then rendered into NOS charts (and a similar process for Jeppesen). 1) Is this true? 2) If so, is this "raw" data available to the public somewhere? I'm looking for something similar to the ATA-100...

Insurance by Jeff Bucchino
As I'm winding down my IFR lessons and will also be renewing my renter's insurance policy in a few months, should my premium be lower? Do you folks get a break by having an additional rating? -- Jeff 'The Wizard of Draws' Bucchino Cartoons with a Touch of...

IR written Primary/Secondary instrument questions by Jeremy
I'm studying for my written and having an awful time with the questions dealing with primary/secondary instruments for pitch/bank/power during various phases of flight. The distinctions appear to be senseless hair splitting, and I'm getting them mostly wrong in the practice tests. Some of this is...

Back in the Saddle Again by Jerry Kaidor
Hi folks, Getting back into that instrument training.... ...after a haitus of over a year. It's been something like three years since I started trying to get it. Was doing pretty good until: 1-punch: My airplane got a bit of airframe corrosion, requiring three months of layoff while repairs...

Pass my Instrument Checkride Today! by Judah
Hey Guys! Just thought I'd pass on the good news. I passed my IFR Practical Test today. It was quite a ride - I was much more nervous than I thought I would be, and frankly it showed in my flying. But I did OK (not great - I should have done better) - and earned the rating! Definitely a worthwhile...

TIM'S ABCS by epsalant
Once upon a time I used the pneumonic TIM'S ABCS to set up for an approach. I have forgotten what everything stands for (I believe it begins Tune, Identify, Markers...). Does anyone remember the rest? And do you know what book it's from? Thanks! Evan

Direct To a waypoint in flightplan on Garmin 430 by Andrew Gideon
On the Bendex/King gear on which I learned, it was easy to skip to another way point on the flight plan. And this was very convenient, as it comes up fairly often when IFR, at least for me. For example, I'll very often be told "direct SBJ" when leaving CDW, only get "direct ..." to the...

Flight service remotes by Everett M. Greene
Flight service has a remote radio site somewhere in our area. When contacting them via the remote, the specialists want you to state you're calling on that frequency. If you don't, they seemingly have the remote transmitter off and you won't hear their reply. If you call them again without the...

website for airmet VORs by epsalant
I once saw a website (I think it may have been a government website) that graphically displays the VORs that are used to describe to borders of areas described in airmets. Does anyone know the URL of this website? Thanks Evan

Victor Airways in Clearance by Wyatt Emmerich
I fly with a Garmin 530. Great box, but I cannot for the life of me understand why they would fail to include Victor Airways. Anyway, I often get a clearance such as 210BA cleared to Yodoo, Clear City, Victor 245, Bogur. Now if I program the Garmin 530 for Yodoo, Clear City, Bogur, 19 times our of...

TIS in San Jose out of service ? by Scott Moore
Anyone know what is going in with San Jose Radar TIS ? As usual, Norcal approach knows nothing about it. It was dead all day today, and I have not flown for a while, so who knows. Thanks in advance.

Where is approach good about multiple approaches and clearances in the air? by Andrew Gideon
I'm no freight dog or corporate pilot with dozens of approaches to minimums each day. For me, as with many GA pilots I expect, maintaining *real* currency involves explicit practice. That's fine; I enjoy it. But I'd like to try some new places. The issue is that I'd like to try some new places...

Non-radar transponder codes by Michael
I am planning a trip into the Caribbean. My question is: If I have been given a clearance from a non-radar facility. Because the facility does not have radar they do not give me a transponder code. What should I squawk? The same question applies to coming into a radar-controlled environment from...

Complete Reversal or Not? by Greg Esres
Can anyone suggest any reasons why you shouldn't use GPS or DME to lead your turns when approaching a fix, such as an IAF, on a non-GPS approach? (Meaning that you don't wait for complete reversal of the nav instrument.) The AIM has a couple of requirements for a "complete reversal" of...
