2 aircraft cleared onto the same runway at the same time by
Tom Fleischman
This was a new one for me.
I was IFR this afternoon out of HPN for short practice flight. I was in
sequence number two at the runway waiting for departure. As the tower
controller cleared the Cessna in front of me to position and hold, he
asked him his direction of flight. The Cessna pilot...

How much turbulence is too much? by
Marty Ross
In reviewing the Warrior II's performance numbers in preparation for my
recent trip across California, I realized that Va would be much lower than I
had always considered it (given that it's just me inside, with gas burning
off towards reserve only). The Va that's written on my lapboard is...

Two ILS approaches in IMC with ATC communications - Video by
[email protected]
Yesterday was a great day for knocking out approaches. Had stopped in
flight school to socialize before flying and CFI was bored to tears
since he had to cancel VFR students, so he came along for the ride.
Launched into 1000 foot ceilings and ceilings at Hawkins Jackson KHKS
was 1200 foot. KJAN...

Airport lat/lon database by
Ron Garret
Anyone know where I can find a list of US airports and their lat/lon
positions? I know about the airnav site, but that only lets me get one
at a time. I need a list that I can feed into a database. (I only need
US airports with instrument approach procedures.)
Thanks,
rg

Practice Approach Handoff by
Dennis Johnson
I was flying in Northern California the other day, VFR without a cloud in
the sky, and asked Oakland Center for a practice ILS approach to Chico, a
nearby towered airport. I said I would terminate the approach with a missed
approach and then depart the area without flight following.

X-country training flight by
dlevy
Should I file individual legs? I don't need to land. If I file individual
legs should I let the controller know before the approach that I'd like to
open the next leg at the missed?
Thanks!

Tempest in a teapot - IFR 'training' in-between lessons by
Cecil E. Chapman
Just a question for y'all out there.
In-between lessons I've been practicing approaches using my OnTop IFR
program. It seems to work, very well, in terms of getting me to recall the
procedures and frequencies by sheer repetition when it comes to my actual
lesson day.
My question though: Is such...

North Atlantic IFR routes by
JJ
When commercial aircraft fly across the big pond during IFR weather, how
does FAA and foreign Air Traffic control keep an eye on them without
radar? I understand most flights to and from Europe go up over
Newfoundland and over south of Greenland and Iceland. Can a radar see
out that far? Just...

Gary IN to CVG? by
Paul kgyy
Considering a flight into CVG, which is Class B and would appreciate
some insight from the group.
1. The IFR routing with STAR is very circuitous - better to file VFR?
2. Reservation required? Flight will be on Saturday.
Any other tips - FBO, etc? Piper Arrow.

ATC Careers -- Question for Newps or Chip by
Tom Sixkiller
My youngest daughter is graduating high school this May, and is looking to
do a GWBush by joining the Air National Guard. The job she's most interested
in is Air Traffic Controller. She's also contemplating doing AFROTC at the
same time (don't think she can do ROTC while being in ANG).
I _assume_...

FAR 91.171 interpretation by
James L. Freeman
What is the point of the phrase "at the airport of intended departure"
in FAR 91.171(b)(1)?
Interpreted literally, it would mean that while the VOR check done
with a VOT is good for 30 days, it is only valid for departures from
the airport where it was done. That makes no sense. Any...

Another difference between the US and Canada. by
Roger Halstead
I had a friend ask me today how I'd cancel a flight plane that I had
never activated.
I gave the usual answer...If I never activated it, I don't need to
cancel it. If I haven't activated it past the closing time it gets
dropped. Canceling one that has been activated and flown is
*usually* not a...

Throwaway GPS by
Scott Moore
I thought for all of the GPS threads.
Next year, 2006, the government mandate for GPS inclusion in cell phones
starts. That means that eventually every cheap cell phone is going to have
a GPS.
GPS receivers are plentyfull now, but are getting set to proliferate into
a commondity part. The time is...

Any inside story re 430/530 WAAS cert.? by
[email protected]
This is from AvionicsWest:
"WAAS for the GNS430/530 is now postponed until sometime in 2006. I
don't "think" the problem is really a WAAS issue. You see,
Garmin plans on making the 430/530 comply with TSO 146 just as the
GNS480. TSO 146 requires an update rate of 5hz verses 1hz as the

filing with DUATS by
Ditch
Anyone experiencing problems with this? Aside from the ADIZ and TFR crap.
I filed an IFR from LVK to SAC yesterday via duats and the clearance never came
available. The tower told me that only about half of the flight plans filed via
DUATS come up.
I found it strange. Back in 1999 when I was flying...
