Approach Timer Frustration by Andrew Sarangan
Over the years I have been using various digital timers, but so far I have not been satisfied with any of them. The LCD displays make them difficult to read when viewing at different angles. The right seat pilot (or CFII) cannot see the digits. Lack of illumination in most units is another big...

Approach Timing by john smith
For those of you using handheld GPS's when you fly IFR: Do you use the throttle to increase/decrease power to match the ground speed to the approach speed table so the time is correct to the MAP? Or, Do you use the distance to the airport to determine/verify the MAP, even though the time may not...

Approach to an LOM/IAF with PT (not vectors to final) by O. Sami Saydjari
The Approach in question is SDF RWY 2 at KISW. I was coming in from the south, nearly lined up with the inbound course of 021 degrees. I was in touch with ATC. The LOM/IAF is called NEPCO. The ATC asked if I wanted "direct NEPCO." I said yes. Within about 10 miles of the airport,...

Approaches and takeoff mins. by jamin3508
Today I awoke to find a cloud sitting on the ground bringing the vis down to 1/16th of a mile. All the airlines here in KROC were forced to hold from takeoff until it lifted a little. I know that the part 91 is 0/0 unless otherwise noted, what about part 131 or the airlines? Do they...

Approved Flight Sim by [email protected]
Hello, My flight school (a very small flight school) is looking at getting a Sim. Can any people recommend approved sims that are affordable and easy to run/install? They would just be using it for IFR training and multi training. Right now the school has a 172, 150 and Seneca. Any advice...

Are "Popups" A Hassle? by skym
For the ATC guys: I frequently have departed VFR, but then do a popup if needed. Frequently these are sortof foreseeable possibilities, but often enough I have been able to proceed VFR all the way. I've often wondered just how much of a hassle it is to ATC to have to deal with a popup.

Are birds IFR? by Kevin Clarke
Here's a whacky question. I just flew my 250NM IFR x-ctry. The last leg was IMC, bouncing along at 5000'. So the question I have is, do birds ever fly in the clouds? There are many birds at my home airport (KFIT). I got enough stuff to worry about during an IAP, I'd hate to get a bird strike...

Are handheld GPSes becoming a defacto primary nav source? by Paul Tomblin
This week I did several IFR flights, some in IMC and most in VMC. On a couple of those flights, ATC offered me direct to the next VOR after the one I was navigating to, well before I could actually pick up the signal. One time departing Rochester, they told me to go direct Elmira when I was less...

argh -- flight plan routes by [email protected]
ventmode I am an inexperienced instrument pilot and I just don't understand why we file routes on our flight plans at all! I never get what I filed, anyway, and it's not uncommon that the route I actually get shares not a single waypoint with what I filed. It is an interesting game to try to...

Argus 5000CE question by Francois Marquis
Hello, Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus 5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but functionality-wise they are about the same. (minus the color, of course) My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000 unit,...

Arrow add-on for FS2004 by Paul kgyy
Any recommendations on the best Piper Arrow add-on for MSFS2004? I found a couple with google but the downloads don't seem to work. Doesn't have to be freeware. Mostly what I want is a reasonably accurate power model. I have ASA's On Top but the GPS is crummy and the power model has no...

ASA On Top 9? by Hamish Reid
I realise it's only been released for a few days, but as I'm in the market for a non-MS sim, and as I have an older version that works just fine but needs updating so it can do real GPS, etc., does anyone have anything to say one way or another about ASA's new On Top 9? Thanks, Hamish

ASA On Top bug? by Tim Bengtson
I have been having a problem with ASA On Top that has been driving me nuts. A short drive, admittedly... Anyway, the compass dial around the ADF doesn't adjust. That is, you can turn the knob, and the dial will start to move, but it soon snaps back to its original location. Even this would be...

Aspen at night by Ron Garret
All the approach plates for Aspen are marked "Procedure not authorized at night" (presumably a result of the G4 crash a few years back). And yet there are commercial flights scheduled to land as Aspen at night. How do they do it? rg

Aspen Avionics by No Name
I was intrigued at Oshkosh with Aspen Avionics gyro and hsi steam gauge replacements. They have a LCD solid-state ADHRS gyro and HSI that fits into the same slots as the steam gauges. Anybody have any experience with these instruments? Are they shipping yet? I assume they are using these new...

Aspen EFD1000 by [email protected]
I got the information from Aspen Avioncs that the ARINC429 interface of the KLN900 cannot be used by the EFD1000. Does anyone has an idea why? is it a technical problem or a certification problem? EFD1000 can use the Garmin ARINC. The EFD1000 has an internal AHRS which provides attitude +...
