Looking for a non-WAAS Garmin GNS430 database card by
Peter R.
One of my two non-WAAS Garmin GNS430 database cards has somehow died and
remembering to pull the only one from my unit to bring home and burn has
become risky, so I am looking for another spare card.
There are a couple on eBay but I thought I would at least see if any of you
here have spare, old...

Terminology Ques: 5 mile turn vs. delay vectors by
Gerald S.
The other day I was doing multiple approaches under the hood. I needed
an extra minute or two to setup for the next approach and requested a "5
mile turn." From my understanding, this means that while on downwind to
not turn me until 5 miles from the FAF. The controller didn't
understand. I...

GNS430 vs. GX60 - missing functions by
Jim Carter[_1_]
This question particularly applies to the CAP mission pilots in the group:
we have been flying GX50 and 60s in our CAP birds, but I'm playing with
a GNS430 in a private aircraft. There doesn't seem to be a correlation of
the SAR functions in Garmin's unit like Apollo's.
I'd like to know how...

How to find LPV approaches? by
Paul Tomblin
None of the RNAV approaches at my local airport has LPV minimums. I want
to try out our club's nifty new 530W. I've tried a couple of LNAV+VNAV
approaches, and they aren't all that exciting because the mins aren't any
better than the LNAV-only minimums.
Is there a search engine that will find...

Where is MEPTE by
Jose
How can I find out where the FAA thinks MEPTE is? On the NOS IFR charts
it's charted as in the water (or over it), but when I fly it, it's over
land. I know the NOS charts are not all that accurate (for topography)
but I'd like to know where it is, for a certification flight for our GPS.
Any...

It occurred to me after viewing the video that Mr. May is
honestly stating what the airlines want, which is to make
sure that any light jet taxi...

Some IFR GPS's no longer useable by
kevmor
I just heard about this from AOPA's site:
http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2007/070524gps.html
I haven't read the AC yet, but it looks like a lot of GPS's that are
out there aren't usable in lieu of ADF/DME or for RNAV use.
Also, as I'm still somewhat new to IFR GPS'es, what is the...

Desktop Application With WAAS LPV Approaches? by
Will[_2_]
Is there any desktop application that runs as a GUI under Windows that would
give me a database of the newer WAAS GPS approaches (e.g., LNAV + V, LPV,
etc)? I do NOT need currency on this. A one time snapshot that I could
update maybe once a year would be fine. I definitely do not want...

Northstar M1 Loran Battery by

I recently purchased a database update for my Northstar M1 LORAN from CMC
Electronics and a new battery which they also list on their Web site.
Replacing the EPROM database was easy, but I cannot find where the battery
goes. Has anyone replaced the battery in the M1? Where is it?
Thanks!

Odd missed approach instructions by
Paul Tomblin
The published missed for the RNAV (GPS) RWY 04 at KROC says "Climb to 3000
direct CISON WP and via 098(degree) track to BREIT WP and hold". I'm
trying to think why they'd put in that "098 track" thing instead of just
saying "direct BRIET WP". The plan view makes it look like after crossing

OBS Mode for procedure turn by

When using a GPS in leg mode going to the IAF for a procedure turn, when you
switch it to OBS mode, don't you loose your navigation (except for the
moving map)? You don't want to wait too long to switch to OBS, or else it
may sequence to the next waypoint when you get to the IAF, but the sooner...
