Playing with the Garmin GNS430/530 WAAS simulator by
Peter R.
As an owner of a Garmin GNS430 who will most likely upgrade to the WAAS
capability, I downloaded and installed the Garmin GNSxxx WAAS simulator
last night, then "flew" a couple of RNAV/GPS approaches with LPV minimums.

Is 91.175 enforced in the USA? by

This is the reg which prevents flying instrument approaches unless it
is a published one.
In the UK, this is not illegal (on G-reg aircraft). But then we don't

GNS 430W vs GNS 480 by
Ron Gordon
I'm going to add either the GNS 430W or GNS 480 to a Beach Bonanza and am
wondering if any of you who fly with these GPS units have a recommendation?
I'd like a very capable IFR GPS with integrated NAV/COM abilities, which
I'll couple to my S-TEC 50 Autopilot with GPSS. Both the 430W and 480 are...

Requesting a hold from ATC for descents by
Mxsmanic
If it becomes impossible to respect your descent schedule, is it
permissible to ask ATC to give you a hold temporarily so that you can
descend in the hold pattern until you're back to your planned descent?
If so, is this a fairly common procedure, or very unusual? I'm
thinking with respect to...

R172K Approach Configuration by
facpi
Anyone give me a clue of the approach configuration of R172K? For
instance, now I use 100kts, 15inch, 2500RPM with no flaps for the
precision approach (ILS) for the training but it is not stable and too
fast for landing after DA.
I insist 90kts is good speed for the approach level and the...

Flying a DME Arc with a non WAAS GNS530 by
Roy N5804F
I am sure someone in this group can answer this question.
When using a Garmin 530, without WAAS, will it output Roll Steering commands
when flying a DME Arc ?
Thanks

Implications of.....keeping the speed up by

So let's say I'm inbound to Teterboro from the west, doing 250 kias
below 10,000 in descent. Atc gives me a radar vector, and clears me
to maintain 4000 feet.
1, Do I need to slow to 200 kias at some time?
2. I'm considering that I may well be less than 3000 feet AGL (or is

Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC by
Mxsmanic
I fly from KLAX to KLAS, using the FMC to handle most of the flight.
With the routing I put in, the FMC decides on some default altitudes
and includes required altitudes for the arrival and departure
procedures I select. Part of what it does is to create a descent
schedule from the nominal cruise...

Personal Minimums SEL? by

I'm curious what Instrument Rated members of this group use for

The question is prompted by a recent flight where the takeoff

before, and it occurred to me that...
