From time to time I want to show You some of my new pictures. This time I have some new shots of WWII Hellcat over Camarillo and som nice shots of LAPD Astar helicopters over Los Angeles. http://air2air.net Enjoy it Cordially -- Mariusz Adamski http://air2air.net

Here's one for U all. 530s. Or as we learned in Melborne FL, home of the 27 Back Course LOC approach, all-y'all is the plural. When selecting VLOC mode, the thing behaves correctly on a BC approach... you set the ILS FRONT COURSE on the yellow arrow HSI course datum, and inbound on the BC, the...

Got an odd clearance the other day, on climbout from Santa Monica (IFR but in perfect VMC): "climb and maintain 6000 when direct Ventura". I took this to mean that someone would later clear me direct VTU, whereupon I would climb. However I never got such a clearance, and later an evidently nervous...

I have a new IFR rating and am considering some higher altitude flights now that I can drop down through cloud decks. Question: for those of you who carry oxygen, how do you secure the tank so that you can still reach and see to adjust the flow valve? Vendors sell seatback packs, but those...

I used to subscribe to IFR until I realized that they offered a much better rate to new subscribers than to existing ones. After realizing this, my four year old decided to subscribe :-). Today he recieved a solicitation from another aviation magazine. Obviously they sold his (and my) name...

I've been away from this newsgroup for quite some time, so forgive me if this has already been covered. The other day, one of my colleagues pointed out something I hadn't noticed in the latest set of approach plates, which came out at the end of December. Its on page A2, under "Aircraft Approach...

In the back of the A/FD there are special phone numbers published to be used for calling AFSS's to get an IFR clearance. I was completely unaware of this until last Sunday, when I called for a void time leaving Cross City, FL. The specialist said he'd be glad to help me, "...but next time please...

Ok, this isn't the first time this has happened, but this month's quiz asks you for the airport ident of the airport you use if you can't get the local altimeter settings. Ok, the plate says to use "Whichita Mid-Continent", that part I got. But then the quiz answer says to look on the en route...

Thanks to all on this group who have answered various questions over the last five months. I passed my instrument checkride today! My last checkride (other than BFR's) was in 1983. I was very nervous screwed up the first manouver and after that all went well. I now have a license to learn.

So, Ron, wht did you mean by this post, other than what it clearly says? "Ron Natalie" wrote in message ... "Tarver Engineering" wrote in message ... No,...

Please excuse this shameless plug... For Anywhere WX users (well actually, anyone using a PocketPC while airborne), I've created a custom Soft Input Panel (SIP) which lets you enter commonly used text fragments with a single tap. There are also some more advanced features in the works, like the...

Knowing what Part 21 Type Certificate you have matters because that is how the other Parts of CFR 14 are tied together. Say one doesn't know they have an experimental type certificate, then how can they know that Part 23 and 43 are not applicable? Additional regulatory requirements are made for...

I'm new to flying IFR.I have about 5 hours actual, but this morning was going to be my first IFR flight without a safety pilot. CRQ to SBP I'm flying a C172RG The weather forecast: Cloud bases vary from 1500 to 6000 ft over the route.

Anyone have a tip as to the best way to enter the LOC DME source on the KLN94? The NRST function won't always pick it up, if there are a lot of intersections around. I've tried loading the fix into an alternate flight plan, and then do a DIRECT operation later, but I couldn't get that to work.

As a complimentary site to my new book "101 Best Aviation Attractions", I have activated a new website at http://www.flyingsbest.com Half of this site does FlyIn CampOut issues the other Aviation Attractions. The book will be released by McGraw-Hill in Late April. Amazon is already selling it....

I normally fly out of Rochester NY, which is towered and class C. And 99% of the time my clearance route is "Vectors as filed". But yesterday I had to stop off at Batavia to pick up something, and then continue on to Goderich Ontario. Since it's just easier to be on an IFR flight plan...

Okay, I've been doing this IFR training thing now for a few months, flying once or twice a week, and it's been going pretty well. I've not really had any trouble with the knowledge part (self studied for the written and got 95%) and have been doing nicely with the skill stuff as well, getting the...

I had a first today; flying VFR across New England on this clear winter day, my route took me over Bradley, KBDL. I always tune VORs during my flights, so tuned Bradley's VOR. Identifying, though, was interesting. The morse identifier was FOUR characters, the last three of which were B D L. I had...
