Altimeter off by
kevmor
How can you adjust an altimeter if the pressure isn't correct in the
window for the altitude? I started talking to my examiner about it on
the checkride and he said that a lot of people adjust it themselves
(not an avionics shop, etc), and he said you take the front off (I
think) and theres a...

American Flyers Test Prep by
mark
Has anyone taken the IFR written test prep from American Flyers? I'm
looking for some input on it. I was thinking of taking the Aviation
Seminar course, but its not held very often, making it much less
convenient.

An odd clearance...can anyone explain? by
Andrew Gideon
Departing Lancaster the other day, I received an odd clearance. I was
cleared from the airport to the Lancaster VOR, then East Texas VOR...
It was that first leg (Lancaster Airport to Lancaster VOR) that confused me.
The VOR is on the field. I have little choice but to go past it as a
trundle...

Ancient VOR Transmitter ?? by
[email protected]
I recently received this large single-frequency transmitter
from an elderly gentleman who used to be a ham radio operator.
I have not been able to pin down exactly what it is. Some
folks have given the opinion that it may be an old VOR transmitter.
I'm wondering if someone can identify it? Give...

angle points in victor airways by
John Hamilton
If I am navigating along a Victor Airway, and want to program it into
my GPS, how can I tell if there is an angle (i.e. change in direction)
at an intersection? I know that some intersections are there just
because of changes in MOA, MOCA, etc, but definitely some are there
because the airways...

Annunciation Requirements for KLN89B/KX155/209A by
N523RV
I have acquired a KX-155, KLN-89B and a 209A indicator. The 209A has a built-in relay to switch between the GPS and NAV. I'm trying to figure out what 'annunciation' is _required_ for this setup. The MD41 annunciator is about $950. I can get the control head only for about $700.
The real...

Another approach question by
Andrew Sarangan
On VOR/DME-B @ 69V, there is a comment that says PT is not authorized when
arriving northbound on V208. Then on the bottom of the chart it says
"Procedure Turn NA". Why bother printing the first statement, when PT is
clearly not authorized for any transitions? Is this a left-over from a old
chart...

Another Botched use of runways by

Is it me or is the FAA about one incident away from a
disaster worse than Lexington?

Another Canadian difference? by
Paul Tomblin
I know that in Canada, when you're cleared for the approach, you can start
descending to the MSA. But today while being vectored for the LOC/DME RWY
12 at Oshawa, I was told "turn 030 for the base leg", and then I almost
immediately blew right through the localizer. Was I supposed to take that

ANOTHER CURRENCY QUESTION by
philpoppins
Suppose your currency has lapsed. Say 7 months ago you did 3
approaches and then 3 months ago you did a hold, VOR tracking and 3
more approaches. Your currency has lapsed. Would flying 3 approaches
under the hood make you current, or since your currency has lapsed
would you have to do all 6 plus...

Another difference between the US and Canada. by
Roger Halstead
I had a friend ask me today how I'd cancel a flight plane that I had
never activated.
I gave the usual answer...If I never activated it, I don't need to
cancel it. If I haven't activated it past the closing time it gets
dropped. Canceling one that has been activated and flown is
*usually* not a...

Another Garmin 430 question by
Jim
I've been told that it is possible to load successive approaches in the
flight plan page but have been un able to either figure out how to do it or
find any info in the manual about it. For instance if I wanted to create a
flight plan to take off at one airport, fly to a second airport then...

Another one of those things I guess I should have been ready for sneaked up
on me this morning.
We were going from BFM to EET (Shelby County Airport, Alabaster, Alabama)
and the ceiling was right at minimums for the RNAV 33 approach, and below
minimums for the VOR-A. Naturally, I wanted the RNAV...
