Does anyone know of a consolidated list of AFSS Clearance Delivery telephone numbers? Stan

Anyone know a vendor I can purchase DOD Flight Information Publication IFR Enroute charts from? Prefer online thanks! tired of updating my international Jepps

Hello, I am a VFR pilot and I currently have a 96C in which I loaded some 700 user waypoints, neede in Italy to find VFR reporting points and airstrips. My new club's airplane will have a Garmin GNS430. I contacted Garmin in order to know if it would be possible to load waypoints through the serial...

I have to vent.. Was anybody else trying to watch the coverage of the d-day ceremonies ? MSNBC is supposedly covering the d day ceremonies in France. The focus should be on the event and the men and woman who fought then not the reporters or the tv program.... The reporters will not shut up and...

I Passed My Instrument Written Today. I took a Practice test today befor the actual I scored mid 96's nerves kicked in I guess! I got an 85 I can live with that.

With a waypoint on my 430 and pressing the OBS button my 430 draws a "radial". The radial that is on the obs indicator. What i don't understand is why the radial showing on the display is white and not magenta? The reciprical of the radial is magenta. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Thanks

At http://members.cox.net/mhorowit/interesting weld with comment.jpg is a pic of two tubes welded at 90 degrees. Any idea how he got any strength to the joint? I don't think either tube had any metal removed for fitting. - Mike

I got interested in the effects of homing on a waypoint as opposed to tracking. I have seen the illustrations and have understood the concept for some time, but I have never seen any numbers. If you are interested here is the results of my playing around with...

In two words, don't bother. Flew today Anacortes (north of Seattle) back home to Palo Alto, IFR at FL190. The flight plan was pretty complicated, over a dozen waypoints all carefully entered into my shiny new 530 during climb out. And guess what... I got to fly to exactly one of them. Initially I...

This weekend, I'm flying almost due south 340 nm from Ottawa to Philadelphia, as I mentioned in a separate posting. Inevitably, the legs of my planned flight zigzag around a track of 180 deg M, some slightly on the east side, and some slightly on the west. Consider this part of the trip, all on...

If you are looking for a way to fly that is less expensive, more fun, and will make you a better pilot, check out the Eight Ball Flying Club, located at Van Nuys airport. We currently have two well maintained aircraft - a 172 ($60/hr, wet, TACH time), and a 182 ($80/hr, wet TACH time), and a great...

When I was young I got my license the week I turned 18. I left flying when I left my first wife. I would like to resume flying, but want to focus on IFR simulation (most cost effective) at home training before beginning actual flight training. Any advice would be appreciated to help me develop a...

Went to my local pilot shop this week to pick up some new IFR charts, and noticed a sign near the cash register that stated that Jepp charts were now only available on a subscription basis through Jepp. I've only ever used NOS charts, but had heard how good Jepp charts were and was interested in...

A typical AI display is "inside out", ie the view is from inside the plane looking out. Some (Russian) aircraft use the reverse display, ie a fixed horizon and a moving airplane graphic. Does anyone know of work done to measure the human factors benefits / penalties of these two approaches? BTW...

Close encounters of the cloud kind.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrICb0NQ8Gg In flight stills and videos to the sound track of Close encounters of the Third kind. Hopefully some find worthy sharing with even our non pilot brethren on our email lists and show off one of our many cloud...

I'm asking everyone in the group to please take the time to visit the FAA site and post a comment or two on the proposed National Air Tour Safety Standards Public Meeting. I was just there and disappointed in the lack of comments. http://www1.faa.gov/avr/arm/rulemakingforum.cfm?nav=part -- Jim...

I once saw a website (I think it may have been a government website) that graphically displays the VORs that are used to describe to borders of areas described in airmets. Does anyone know the URL of this website? Thanks Evan

Looks like Jeppesen is finally dropping their prices on JeppView and no longer penalizing for convenience. Thus, over the next week I am going to switch from the paper Airway Manual and that time-consuming, every two-week amendment filing service to JeppView. I remember reading that there are...
