Hello everyone, I'm about a week away from taking my instrument checkride, but I'm lacking in one area I thought would be a breeze. After spending months practicing holds, approaches & arcs I was double-checking the PTS and realised that we had not practised unusual attitudes. My CFII told me they...

Hi Group. I had a trip Friday in a 1977 C-337G(pressurized). On the taxi out I noticed the suction gauge was pegged high. The AI erected ok, but the DG required many updates on the way to the run-up area. Pulling on to the runway, we corrected the DG again, by 30 degrees. We flew VFR to Boise, and...

I signed up for the IFR chart program from AirCharts, but didn't have an IFR rating. Now as I'm starting training, I'm trying to do the updates. These are amazingly messy/difficult to deal with. HOw many others on here have the IFR system and are able to do the updates? I keep seing these "new...

Has anyone upgraded their older Strikefinder(plasma screen) to the newer(LED) model? My display is getting very weak and hard to read and I thought I heard Insight would upgrade your older plasma model to the newer model at a decent price. TIA, Pete

A friend of mine and I (from the San Francisco Bay area) are planning a cross country trip in Sept '04 spanning the Labor Day weekend. We plan to take 9-10 days, weather permitting, going all the way to New York/Boston and back in a single engine Cessna 182. We are looking for a 3rd pilot...

Political Correctness is killing our Government(Ex. Katrina, two lost space shuttles, 9/11, recent mine disaster in Utah etc. etc.) There is ONLY one way to save our critical Government functions in America from collapse ONLY one way FOR ALL SAFETY AND HUMAN LIFE CRITICAL FUNCTIONS IN THE

Does anyone know of an airplane manufacturer that specifies engine or wing anti ice systems need to be activated a set amount of time (minutes) prior to entering icing conditions? The ones I've seen only say "prior to entering...", but no requirement given to have it on for a set time prior in...

I plan to buy my first airplane and "trade-up" in about 3-4 years. I expect my initial investment will be around $75K. At that price, it does not seem to be worth putting in brand new avionics to the tune of $12-$15K (thinking specifically about a Garmin 430/MX-20 combo, or a GX-50/MX-20 combo). ...

http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2007/070522debate.html Is a good read (and a video) on a debate between Phil Boyer and Bob May of the airlines. 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...

Any CFI's here use Excel or Access on their computer to keep a log of their students and information on them and what you've covered with them? IF so, can you provide some tips on what a good starting ground would be for designing a spreadsheet to do this. Thanks

Anyone in the habit of going online for instrument approach plates (terminal procedures), printing out only the plates you need for a trip along with possible alternates and taking them in the plane? This concept makes me uneasy, but perhaps it would be reasonable to have the regular FAA plates,...

I have seen the high end GPS units present a psuedo panel display (I am specifically refering to the Garmin 296). It provides a DG/HSI presentation, GPS derived altitude, turn-and-bank and vertical speed. Has anyone experimented with this to maintain level flight in lieu of actual gyroscopic...

I tried something with my Garmin 430 yesterday that worked out well so I thought I would pass it along. I was doing a series of practice approaches to the area airports that are 10 miles or so apart. The problem was setting up for the next approach while climbing out from the last. With only a...
