Anyone know of an instrument ground school scheduled to begin soon in the NYC metro area or in CT?

Does anyone have any recomdations for instrument panel layout software? thanks, greg

Last year the FAA sent me a copy of a new IFR textbook. The construction of the book was such that while reading and underlining over one-third of the pages came loose. I found many editing mistakes, conflicting explanations and such a mixture of alphabetic acronyms that I was constantly making...

I just noticed an interesting problem with the Instrument Rating PTS. It says: Aircraft and Equipment Required for the Practical Test GPS equipment must contain the current database. The problem is that not all GPS units require that the database be current. The CNX-80 AFM Supplement...

I just wanted to mention that I passed my IFR flight test this morning. We did it in hard IFR, with a 400-foot ceiling -- it was a lot of fun. Thank you to everyone in this group for your contributions, which helped me develop more background knowledge of IFR flight than I could otherwise have...

Are you instrument rated? .. Are you tired of paying for instrument procedures you don't use? .. Would you like to develop your own custom library of procedures? .. Would you like to update your library automatically and unattended? .. Would you like hands free Duat access for weather and filing...

Instrument Rating Checkride PASSED After many months of study and training, I flew my Instrument rating checkride on 10 December 2004, and passed! What a relief! I am now the proud recipient of a Temporary Airman's Certificate with an Instrument Airplane rating.

I need to get my FAA license upgraded. Currently it is ME, VFR, based on my Canadian ME IFR ATPL. To have it include IFR, I have to write the FAA Knowledge Test "Instrument Rating - Foreign Pilot (IFP)". I cannot find/google what exactly is being tested for the IFP: Is it questions from the...

It looks like we have enough people signed up to get the next session of the IFR ground school started. We will begin on Tuesday, November 11. Classes will be held each Tuesday evening starting at 7 PM. The length of the classes will vary slightly depending on the subjects to be taught, but will...

As soon as we can get 10 people committed to attending, we will be starting another session of the Instrument Ground School. The length of the classes will vary slightly depending on the subjects to be taught, but will generally last about 2 hours. The cost for the entire 9-week course will be...

Hi all. A quick question about getting the Instrument rating: you have to have 50 hours of cross-country pilot-in-command time, right? How is cross-country time defined for this purpose? I couldn't find anything in the FAR AIM that defines it. I guess maybe it is the same as the definition for the...

I understand it as the IRA (Instrument Rating Airplane) and FII (Flight Instructor Instrument) tests come from the same question bank. Does the FII test expire like the IRA does? I didn't see it in part 61 unless I'm missing something. To me, it seems like none of the tests expire for CFI?

Is it legal for a non-instrument rated pilot to file IFR in his own name in order to undergo instrument training while accompanied by his CFII ? In other words. Who should file IFR for a training instrument flight ? The student or the CFII ? Thanks for input -- Roy

I've got about 6 hours now and find it not the slightest bit fun. Can anyone remind me why I'm inflicting this on myself?

I am getting ready to start of Instrument training. I plan on training during the day on the weekends and 1 or 2 nights during the week. What are your thoughts on instrument training at night? Personally I don't fly at night and have only for what was required for my PPSEL. However my goal is to...

Well, my 152 is properly equipped & IFR certified now and I've decided to commence my IFR traning shortly. I'd like to get opinions on study materials. I really like the Jeppeson texts I used for my PPL but my mind is open. (But, I have to say that the Kings happen to drive me nuts!) TIA.

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.

As I'm winding down my IFR lessons and will also be renewing my renter's insurance policy in a few months, should my premium be lower? Do you folks get a break by having an additional rating? -- Jeff 'The Wizard of Draws' Bucchino Cartoons with a Touch of...

Hello, Yesterday I was out getting an IPC. We were doing the Stockton, CA ILS. ATC had us intercepting the localizer at 2000 feet. The altitude for glideslope interception is 1800 ( underlined ). My old CFII taught me that the glideslope interception altitude on the chart is a minimum...

Hadn't seen one of these before, but it's an ILS procedure that requires GPS for the Initials, Intermediates, non-precision FAF, and missed approach. Of course if you don't have ILS, no problem, just fly the RNAV (GPS). http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0610/00471IZR23R.PDF JPH
