Michigan (UP) KSAW winds ?? by
Mitty
I'm planning a trip to the Upper Peninsula in about a month, so I've
begun looking at charts. We'll be landing at Marquette, Escanaba,
Menominee, and Houghton. Or that's the plan anyway.
Marquette/Sawyer KSAW has one runway, 2 1/2 miles long x 150' pointed

Efis and other leading technology by
Mark
I am planning the upgrade of a Piper Navajo panel. I wouldn't mind
spending the money for "cutting edge", but it is not clear what is
avialable and the infrastructure to support it. Could anyone provide
informed councel on EFIS or other certified options?
My questions are along the following:

Tolerances - Published Minimum Altitudes by
John[_17_]
If assigned IFR altitudes can be considered to have a tolerance of +/-
200 ft before you are "busted", what applies to published minimum
altitudes other than DH and MDA on approach plates? Most people will
say that you are not supposed to descend any amount below the DH/MDA
altitudes. Does...

who does VOR "calibration" for most accurate VOR approaches? by
Greg
Hi,
I recently learned that VOR can be "calibrated" or adjusted to take
into account any error discovered at the 30-day check. For example, if
you need to set OBS at 44 to get centered CDI on the 42 radial from VOR
on airport checkpoint, and 219 to center CDI on the 222 radial, then
you record the...

Why are some NDBs not displayed on Low Alt Enroute Charts? by
Adlerson
Subject says it all. For instance, here in Southern California, the NDB
Petis is on the low chart, while ElMonte is not. Anyone know why?
Is it because of monitoring, or lack of? Or is it because one is part
of the enroute structure, and the other one not? Or because one has
approaches involving...

Connecting enroute to approach charts by
Ron Garret
I'm going VNY-LAS. DUATS auto routing came up with a route that ends
at OASYS on V394. Trick is, OASYS is not an IAF for any approach into
LAS as far as I can tell. What should I do if I lose comm?
A related question: some approaches into LAS have IAFs that I can't find
on the enroute chart...

Phraseology by
Thomas Myers
What is the proper phraseology to alert the controller that you are being
vectored through the localizer?
I'm thinking something like:
Approach, N12345 vector through localizer?

clearance delivery question by
PaulH
If I file an IFR flight plan 2 hours in advance from departure from a
towered airport and then leave really early or really late:
1. Is the FP normally available to my local tower about half an hour
after filing?
2. How long does it remain in the "system" if I get delayed?

Why small radius collects ice faster? by
Andrew Sarangan
Is there an explanation for why small radii objects collect ice
faster? The NASA icing video simply states this fact without giving an
explanation. I have found the same with most other sources as well.

Hi folks. I've got a bit of a puzzle here.
