If I just want to do IFR approaches at my class D airport of origin, how should I file? One FSS person suggested that I file McKinney (TKI) direct to a 5 mile on a 360 radial from the airport (which has no VOR) and then back to TKI -- putting "multiple approaches" in the comments section. Any...

I am planning a trip to PTK (Oakland County) which is about 25 miles north of Detroit. I will be coming from the south. The route is V493 to CRL and then direct to the PSI VOR. Planned altitude is 6000'. This will take me almost directly overhead the DTW airport. What are the chances of...

I am contemplating a flight form Venice KVNC to Atlanta with a fuel stop at KLCQ Lake City, or close to it depending on fuel prices. Do not want to go into the big airport in Atlanta. Any one have comments on airports near Atlanta within Taxi cab distance. Thanks

http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0405/09743IL33.PDF I haven't come across an approach with two separate missed approach procedures before. Is this even remotely common? I think I'll add this to my instrument students' training regiment due to some additional interesting features- teardrop course...

This approach is marked radar required, and there is no charted feeder route to the IAF. So one approaches via a random route under radar. ATC will not issue an approach clearance until within 15 miles of the NDB. In the past I was told this was due to their need to ensure the a/c was within the...

How many times do you get a cruise clearance. Ever get "unable" Lets say the cloud layers are 4000 to 5200. You are cleared to 5000, but want to climb to 5300 or above. Is it possible to get a "cruise" clearance to stay above the layers? What about over class B?

Would anyone be so kind as to email me Buttonville Ontario approach plates? If fax is easier I have a toll free fax number - email me and I'll give you the details TIA Drew

Recently I was arriving from the southwest to my home base of UES (Waukesha, WI), and was given the Veena arrival. However, the Veena arrival is not listed as a STAR to Waukesha, but is under the section for Milwaukee, which is around 20 miles away (in the Jepp charts). Waukesha is not under the...

Daytron Clock. The stem from my clock fell off. Looking at the ends where the stem meets are tiny indentations like miniature gears. I have no idea how they fit together. See no break. What holds them together? Should I just use glue to join then together? Hank

1. what's a VDP and how does one compute it. 2. how many phases of an approach (IAP) and how do you tell each from the other 3. what's a GRID MORA 4. what's a THINGS 5. what's the min ATC separation under IFR 6. drift-down?

I'm looking for a Operator/Service manual for a Collins 479S-6 Avionics Generator. Thanks, Dan

Does anyone know how long skywriting lasts before it gets blurry and fades away? Thank you.

It seems that recently approach charts have appeared labeled "ILS or LOC" -- examples are at HAO and RMN. Is this a change? Why? In the past ILS approaches with an underlying LOC would still be titled "ILS".

Hi group I purchased a used encoder altimeter (Aero Mechanism TSO-C10b/TSO-C88 model 8142-M3H0) unfortunately the drawing describing the connections is damaged. Does anyone have such electrical connection schematic drawing (a copy of it) to send me so I could at last understand how to plug...

Out of curiousity, do any of you conduct partial panel training in actual instrument conditions? When I did my training, my instructor elected not to cover instruments in the soup. Do you do this? Why or why not? Brad Z.

There seems to be a lot of questions regarding the new instrument rating PTS. Although it was published in April, it does not take effect until October. The purpose of the new PTS is to incorporate advanced technology such as electronic flight displays and GPS into the program. The "Aircraft and...

Does anyone know of any cool applications for the Blackberry that are aviation related? Maybe something that would allow me to check weather, or file flight plans? Ken
