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?...

I fly a couple of planes which have RNAV equipment installed. I feel very comfortable using the equipment for the enroute portion of the flight. I wanted to start flying some RNAV approaches. The closest airport with an RNAV approach is Connersville, In (CEV). It is the new style RNAV...

Jeppesen plans to cancel their US RNAV Enroute Charts next year. I've used those charts for nearly thirty years, and I'll miss them a = lot. They are usable at all altitudes, they aren't cluttered with airways, and they are scaled at 20 nm and 30 nm per inch, which I greatly prefer for my cockpit...

I have full RNAV Approach plates DP's and STARS for California, Anyone knows how can i practice them? Cant input RNAV FIX'es on LevelD 767 on FS2004 Anyone knows how can i get hold of RNAV Waypoints and Procedures DB ?

Anybody ever get vectors to final for RNAV approaches? Around here (Mobile. AL), I never hear it, although there are plenty of ARNAVs with lower minimums than the VOR approaches at both airports. If you ask ATC for one of the ARNAVs, they'll clear you to an IAF every time. Is there something...

What kind of equipment can be used to meet RNP .3? I'm aware of GPS and DME/DME.

Most RNAV approaches have the notations: "GPS or RNP - 0.3 required", and "DME/DME RNP - 0.3 not authorized" 1. The "or RNP .3" seems to imply some navigation unit other than gps can have rnp .3 Any idea what? 2. If an FMS with rnp .3 is able to conduct this approach, wouldn't it need a gps...

We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton, Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a futon...

I subscribe to fboweb for flight tracking. I see routes described like these examples: SAT.V163.LZZ..JEN.KNEAD5.GKY/1754 ABI.V77.SJT..JCT..STV..SAT/0245 RBD./.TPL..BAZ F18./.JEN256001..SEP/2202 MFE./.CRP357001..CWK..T74* BMQ..GRK150004..TPL/1756 ABI..3536/10059..PPA/1709

Question for folks who've done this a heck of a lot more than me. How do you plan routes? I have a PA28-180/G that I fly. The navdata is always kept up to date so I can always file /G. Which I suppose might be the best answer here. But the vagaries of ATC, especially in the Northeast US make me...

I'm planning to fly up to Oshawa Ontario next week (from Rochester, NY). This will be my first flight there since I got my instrument rating. The en-route chart shows an airway A21 going from the St. Catherines NDB to Oshawa NDB. I have to confess that nothing I've read has ever said anything...

Will be doing a flight from Toronto (canada) to Teteboro on monday (ifr). Looked at the preferred routing from Toronto to Teteboro. Don't have the preferred routing from Teteboro to Toronto. Would anybody know what it would it be? Any help is appreciayed Thanks

I was going to send this as an email to Roy, but then I realized there might be value for everyone in the response, and maybe Roy wouldn't mind sharing with the whole group. Roy, If I'm not mistaken, you instruct in a club with a fleet of GNS480s. My partners and I are about to install a GNS480 in...

I just got some information back from the FAA on why an ADF is now required after several decades of being able to fly the approach w/o the ADF.... "Mr. Gary: The FAA Flight Procedures Office has issued a NOTAM amendment 22C. This amendment states that the ILS Runway 02 approach at SAC Airport...

Long-time poster Michael (thisoldairplane.com) died yesterday, June 24 in Berrien County, Michigan when his motorcycle was hit by someone who apparently ran a stop sign. The other driver was killed too. Local media is thin on the details. Micheal's funeral will be in New Jersey on Sunday at Wien...

Here are some "general" tips for safe, single-pilot IFR, gleaned from Larry Bartlett's refresher course. These tips do not represent the "meat and potatoes" of the video course, but are thrown in at a couple of points as generalities. How many agree with these : 1) No Single-Pilot, single engine...

Does a safety pilot have to have a current medical and be current as far as landings go, or just be rated in the category/class being flown?

When logging safety pilot time, what do you put under the "duration of flight" column? For example, say I'm flying with a friend who is wearing a hood. We decided I'll be responsible for the flight before hand. I can log PIC for the time the other person had the hood on, and under the "total...
