Terminology Ques: 5 mile turn vs. delay vectors by
Gerald S.
The other day I was doing multiple approaches under the hood. I needed
an extra minute or two to setup for the next approach and requested a "5
mile turn." From my understanding, this means that while on downwind to
not turn me until 5 miles from the FAF. The controller didn't
understand. I...

Looking for a non-WAAS Garmin GNS430 database card by
Peter R.
One of my two non-WAAS Garmin GNS430 database cards has somehow died and
remembering to pull the only one from my unit to bring home and burn has
become risky, so I am looking for another spare card.
There are a couple on eBay but I thought I would at least see if any of you
here have spare, old...

finding approach chart URLs by
Dave Butler
I know I can find them at various web sites, please don't bother to
respond to tell me about them.
Here's what I'd like: given an airport identifier, say "KLHZ", I'd like
an programmatic, algorithmic way or a table lookup to find all the NACO
approach chart URLs,...

IFR approaches to airports with buildings in protected zone by
Ron Lee[_2_]
Please ignore my lack of detailed knowledge of TERPS type stuff but
are there any US airports with GPS approaches where there are
buildings inside the lateral protected zone? Supposedly if an airport
does not meet such criteria there may be a way to get a waiver using
some sort of...

KLN94 Question by
kevmor
I'm learning to use the KLN94 IFR GPS and was wondering about using
the ALT button to set the current altimeter setting. I can see why it
would use this for VNAV, but is it required to set it for normal non-
precision approaches? I think the only thing I've read in the manual
so far was it helps...

How do you do a hold on a 530W? by
Paul Tomblin
I know the Garmin 530W will lead you through a published hold, such as on
the missed approach, but is there any way to get it to lead you through an
ad hoc en-route hold, like when ATC tells you to hold at a certain VOR?
It looks like if I hit the OBS button it will stop sequencing, but what
can I...

G1000 no 3 letter identifier on ILS. Why? by
STICKMONKE
The other day I flew an ILS into KCNO. The G1000 did not decode the Morse
code and the 3 letter identifier did not appear. I was not in IMC and I did
not manually listen to the Morse code. The ATIS did not indicate a problem.
The localizer and glide slope appeared good. My question. What are...

I don't know how to flight plan any more by
Paul Tomblin
I'm flying to Pittsburgh this weekend, and as usual I'm going to KAGC
(Allegheny County). But for a change, instead of taking the club's Lance
I'm going to be taking the Dakota - and unlike the Lance, the Dakota has a
Garmin 530W in it. Now normally, I'd pull out the route I have on my PDA

Step Down or Track Glide slope on GPS overlay approach by
Mooney
I have just recently acquired a Garmin 430/WAAS for my Mooney 201. In
practicing approaches to familiarize myself with the unit, I went up
with an instructor to get some advice/tips. I had flown a GPS overlay

Anyone ever hear this from a controller by
Kobra
Flyers,
I was flying IFR in VFR conditions and from NJ to Kissimmee, FL (KISM). As
I was approaching KISM the controller asked if I wanted to do a visual
approach or the ILS. Since I was in unfamiliar surroundings and wanted to
practice an ILS I said, "I'll take the ILS."
As I waited for the...

On a recent flight from KROC to KUUU (Newport RI), a great place to

IFR GNS 430 with expired database by
Jose
I have been told that it is illegal to fly IFR in an aircraft that has
an operating IFR rated GNS 430, whose database is out of date, =even= if
it is placarded INOP, placed in the OFF position, and the airplane, even
without the 430, is otherwise legal for IFR.
True?

Autopilot use during approach by
Ron Gordon
I've moved up to a new plane that includes an S-Tec 50 autopilot. It has
several very capable modes ranging from Wings Leveler, Track a Heading bug,
Follow NAV input, Hold a set Altitude, and approach mode which tracks NAV
input more closely.
What do the regs say about the permissible use of an...

MOCA and STAR by
Larry R[_2_]
Ok, I am trying to brush off some of the rust and getting some
recurrent training.
The task was to plan a flight, KLOU-KLEX-KJVY. (Louisville,KY). So, I
looked up the STAR Clegg2 ( http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/00697CLEGG.PDF),
and the charts.
Clegg2 *seems* to make the KLOU-KLEX simple- just...
