Where has Steve gone?

Today's 1.6 hour flight to the Northeast practice area compressed to 4 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7CzHdoNw-E Every IFR pilot should do this this type of flight at least one time in their flying career. I would still be flying had the clouds not evaporated :-)

There's not a lot in the user's manual about how to set up a non- published hold using the Garmin 430W. Lets say you are on a flightplan with SBJ VOR as one of your waypoints and ATC needs you to hold on the SBJ 160 radial right hand turns one minute legs. Is there anything to simplify this...

Flight from KMBO to KHKS from wheels up to wheels down time compressed from 25 minutes down to 5 minutes. KJAN approach in this video and you can see how accommodating they are when I ask for a change in my clearance. Also found it interesting they asked me how many SOB. First I have been asked...

Flyers, I have an auction on eBay for the King Schools Flying the Garmin 430/530. The auction starts at 20.00. The set retails for $249.00. It's a great tool for learning in both VFR and IFR systems. http://tinyurl.com/pzudce Kobra

Does anyone have any recomdations for instrument panel layout software? thanks, greg

I was determined to touch a cloud today. Been quite some time and I need to maintain my proficiency even if I couldn't do an approach in actual conditions at least I did poke my head inside a cloud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sVHjlwz7us Flight was a pop up IFR where I requested a block...

The REAL reason for record delays are... 1. ****ed off controllers going by the book (Time in trail) because FAA Management treats their controllers and employees like dog **** 2. Incompetent social engineered marble mouth talking black females "In chagge" who are clueless and incompetent 3....

I just read about the GNS530W Pilot Guide. In page 3, it says: NOTE: The GNS 500W-series units use a different database than in the legacy units. The databases are incompatible between units. The GNS 500W-series units must use a WAAS enabled database. Can anyone who has...

hello I am an instrument pilot with 180 hours, I am looking for someone to split some x-country time, working towards the 250 hour mark.I have purchased 50 hours block time in a cessna 172 at KEWN,New Bern, N.C. The money works out roughly $44 per person,...

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...

This bit sums up all that is wrong with European flying :- "Respondents should note, however, that EASA will need to establish instrument rating requirements that are appropriate for European operations and weather conditions and that previous work by experts indicates that requirements based...

FYI I've sent the following to NACO and to Jeppesen. I'm not asking the NG for help, I'm just letting the NG know what I asked of NACO and Jepp. Anyone is welcome to comment, of course. Can you please help me reconcile the differences between the NACO and Jeppesen manifestations of this chart?...

You may want to check with a computer hardware group, but here are my comments. Hard drives fly the read/write head on the air cushion over the platters. As the air gets thinner at altitude, the head crashes. You may be able to find hardware rated for altitudes up to FL180 or even higher. ...
