"cleared to ... when direct ..." by
John Harper
Got an odd clearance the other day, on climbout from Santa Monica
(IFR but in perfect VMC): "climb and maintain 6000 when direct
Ventura". I took this to mean that someone would later clear
me direct VTU, whereupon I would climb. However I never got
such a clearance, and later an evidently nervous...

430/530 Back Course Question... by
Bill Hale
Here's one for U all. 530s.
Or as we learned in Melborne FL, home of the 27
Back Course LOC approach, all-y'all is the plural.
When selecting VLOC mode, the thing behaves correctly
on a BC approach... you set the ILS FRONT COURSE on the
yellow arrow HSI course datum, and inbound on the BC,

Complete Reversal or Not? by
Greg Esres
Can anyone suggest any reasons why you shouldn't use GPS or DME to
lead your turns when approaching a fix, such as an IAF, on a non-GPS
approach? (Meaning that you don't wait for complete reversal of the
nav instrument.)
The AIM has a couple of requirements for a "complete reversal" of...

Non-radar transponder codes by
Michael
I am planning a trip into the Caribbean. My question is: If I have
been given a clearance from a non-radar facility. Because the
facility does not have radar they do not give me a transponder code.
What should I squawk? The same question applies to coming into a
radar-controlled environment from...

Where is approach good about multiple approaches and clearances in the air? by
Andrew Gideon
I'm no freight dog or corporate pilot with dozens of approaches to minimums
each day. For me, as with many GA pilots I expect, maintaining *real*
currency involves explicit practice.
That's fine; I enjoy it. But I'd like to try some new places.
The issue is that I'd like to try some new places...

TIS in San Jose out of service ? by
Scott Moore
Anyone know what is going in with San Jose Radar TIS ?
As usual, Norcal approach knows nothing about it.
It was dead all day today, and I have not flown for
a while, so who knows.
Thanks in advance.

Victor Airways in Clearance by
Wyatt Emmerich
I fly with a Garmin 530. Great box, but I cannot for the life of me
understand why they would fail to include Victor Airways. Anyway, I often
get a clearance such as 210BA cleared to Yodoo, Clear City, Victor 245,
Bogur.
Now if I program the Garmin 530 for Yodoo, Clear City, Bogur, 19 times our

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

Flight service remotes by
Everett M. Greene
Flight service has a remote radio site somewhere in our area.
When contacting them via the remote, the specialists want you
to state you're calling on that frequency. If you don't, they
seemingly have the remote transmitter off and you won't hear
their reply. If you call them again without the...

Direct To a waypoint in flightplan on Garmin 430 by
Andrew Gideon
On the Bendex/King gear on which I learned, it was easy to skip to another
way point on the flight plan. And this was very convenient, as it comes up
fairly often when IFR, at least for me. For example, I'll very often be
told "direct SBJ" when leaving CDW, only get "direct ..." to the...

TIM'S ABCS by
epsalant
Once upon a time I used the pneumonic TIM'S ABCS to set up for an
approach. I have forgotten what everything stands for (I believe it
begins Tune, Identify, Markers...).
Does anyone remember the rest? And do you know what book it's from?
Thanks!

Pass my Instrument Checkride Today! by
Judah
Hey Guys!
Just thought I'd pass on the good news. I passed my IFR Practical Test
today. It was quite a ride - I was much more nervous than I thought I would
be, and frankly it showed in my flying. But I did OK (not great - I should
have done better) - and earned the rating!
Definitely a worthwhile...

IR written Primary/Secondary instrument questions by

I'm studying for my written and having an awful time with the
questions dealing with primary/secondary instruments for
pitch/bank/power during various phases of flight. The distinctions
appear to be senseless hair splitting, and I'm getting them mostly
wrong in the practice tests. Some of this is...

Insurance by

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?
