CAT II Minimums on a CAT I Approach by
Giwi
I've heard that some pilots have the authority to descend to CAT II
minimums (RA100) on CAT I intstrument approaches. If this is true,
then how is the CAT I approach altered? Is the DH simply lowered?
Seems like this would result in steeper approach angles to make it
work out right. Alternately...

Radio license required? by
Marty Ross
When I first learned the memory aid for required documents, it was "ARROW".
When I inquired why sometimes I saw "AROW", I remember being told that the
second "R" was dropped because while flying within the USA you don't need
the "Radio License".
I glanced through the FAR/AIM and couldn't quickly...

Help interpreting an approach chart (KCCR LDA Rwy 19R) by
Terence Wilson
http://www.airnav.com/depart?http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0711/05320LDA19R.PDF
Suppose I am approaching the KANAN NDB IAF from the south, maintaining
2500', which nav aid do I use to track 001 deg outbound? When I first
looked at the chart I assumed it would be the CCR VOR 001 radial, but
on closer...

What caused the VSI and ALT bouce in the IMC? by
cpu
Yesterday I flew a cessna 172 in the hard IFR. When I penetrated
apparently a heavy cumulonimbus rain cloud area, the VSI and altimeter
started to oscillate and bounce +/- 250 FPM (ALT oscilated 200~300 ft
up and back). The rate of bounces was about 3 to 4 Hz (3 to 4 times
per second). It lasted...

"Direct when able" by
Mitchell Gossman
When instructed to fly a heading then "Direct XYZ when able", does a
controller expect a call when you are in fact able and will be turning
on course? Usually it is a trivial turn since the heading they give is
a good guess for direct course.
I've had conflicting experience. One time after being...

RNAV vs IFR GPS by
PaulaJay1
Coming into CLE the other day the controller ask if I had RNAV and I said no,
that I was /G ,that is, IFR GPS. He said that it was the same and gave me
direct.....
Is it the same, should I have answered yes to his question? Of course I can
navigate direct but do I have "RNAV"?

Outer Marker by
Barry
When doing an ILS approach, with the glideslope, is it a requirement to be
able to identify the outer marker or a substitute? FAR 91.175(k) lists the
outer marker as one of the "basic ground components" and gives the acceptable
substitutes, but doesn't explicitly say that it's required. The AIM...

Constant Angle Non-Precision Approaches (CANPA) by
John Bell
I noticed the thread about "Crossing a stepdown fix high" got quite a bit of
debate. One of the topics in much of the discussion centered on stabilized
approaches verses dive and drive.
I was initially a skeptic on using CANPA, but I have come to believe that it
is a better way of flying...

Safety pilot in and out of IMC by
Paul Tomblin
I want to go fly some approaches (and a hold) on Sunday. I know from
experience that it's likely that the ceilings will be too high to do any
meaningful approaches in IMC, but high enough that I might be in IMC
during the vectors to the approach or at the hold. I figured I could take
along a...

Surface to Air Missile threat by
PlanetJ
The FBI has arrested three men in connection with a plot to smuggle a
surface to air missile into the United States.
You do understand what a successful strike with a surface-to-air missile
would do, don't you? Not only would it kill the 100+ people who happened to
be on the targeted airliner, it...

ADF Problem by
tony roberts
Hi
Today I was flying north and my ADF was tuned to an NDB.
The needle pointed at 330 degrees (or 11 O'clock) until I reached the
NDB, and then it swung until it pointed behind.
I dialed up the next NDB and it pointed at 330 again until passage.
And I dialed up another NDB - same indication - all...

First Time in IMC and vacuum problem by
Jon Kraus
I too had my first experience in IMC yesterday. I got my ticket last
summer too and have kept current but haven't had a chance to go solo. I
was going to go from Indianapolis Executive (TYQ) to Capitol City in
Lansing Michigan (LAN). The weather was 1000 OVR until 50 miles north of
TYQ and then it...

Realistic Instrument Training using MSFS 2004 by
[email protected]
Hi All,
I'm a longtime lurker here, but now I have a question I hope the group
can help me with. I am working toward my instrument rating (21 hours
so far), and want to use MSFS to practice (cheaply). I do fine with
holding a heading, but I find it very difficult to maintain an
altitude. The...

LAS approaches by
Ron Garret
Some questions about flying to LAS:
1. The RNAV RWY 1R (http://naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0903/00662R1R.PDF) has
two IAFs: BOACH and SKEBR. I can find BOACH on the enroute chart (on
V21 between WHIGG and CRESO) but not SKEBR. Where is it?
2. Same question for KACCY intersection, which is the IAF...

I have a dream. A GPS/SBAS/QZSS dream ! In honour of MLK day. by
macpacheco
I have a dream. All IIA satellites retired. All IIF satellites in
orbit.
L2C signal set fully healthy with 19 operational satellites (12 IIF +
7 IIRM).
L5 signal set healthy even though only 12 IIF satellites are
broadcasting it. But their ranging signals are as perfect as
predicted, not enough for...

Holding Pattern Question by
Dennis Johnson
I'm probably over-thinking holding patterns and have become confused.
When given instructions to hold at a non-published holding pattern, ATC will
specify:
1. The direction from the fix, such as north, north-east, etc.
2. The name of the holding fix.
3. The radial, course, or airway on which...

Online source for POH by
Jim
I'm looking for a good online source for POH's for my students. I want them
to purchase a POH for the plane they fly so they have their own copy. Any
leads, links or help is appreciated. Google doesn't give me many leads.
