Shadin flowmeter problems - anyone else sees this? by
Bill Zaleski
I have used a Microflo for 4000 hours now. I have found that unless
you leave power on for about one minute after setting FOB, the gal
remaining, or the fuel used, I can't remember which, will not be
correct. Yes, it is EEPROM memory, and does not need power to hold
data, but seems to need power...

Fujitsu LT C-500 as EFB questions... by
greg
I'm looking for comments and suggestions specifically about using a
Fujitsu LT C-500 as a backup tool for approach plates using Jeppview
with Flightdeck.
Although I'll always be printing my plates, would it really be
possible to use this thing in a pinch?
Has anyone tried a USB GPS with one of...

marker beacon by

How much is a marker beacon receiver really used in IFR flying? I'm
building a new panel and need to decide if I want to include one or
not.
Appreciate your input.

Tina Marie
I was bored this morning, so:

it'll show you a list of 15 random holds you can fly.
Refreshing the page will give you a new list. You
can print them out, draw them, figure out the entries,
and then...

Harlingen to El Paso by
Mike & Janet Larke
I was wondering:
If you filed GPS Direct Harlingen to El Paso you take a bite out of Mexico
around Big Bend, but gain 20-25 minutes no wind in the process. Wondering,
what, if any, problems are there in this sort of IFR flight plan?
Will a direct clearance even be available? I would assume(?)...

Jepp Charts - Subscription Only? by
Peter Gibbons
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...

Speaking of interference (BPL) by
Roger Halstead
I don't know how many are aware of the current push to implement
Broadband Power Line (BPL) high speed internet connections, but is has
some interesting ramifications.
Perhaps Jim has looked into this.
BPL as I understand it caused a good deal of interference from a bit
above the AM broadcast...

who moved SAV, forgot to tell Jepp? by
Dave Butler
As I was preparing for an angel flight to Savannah last week, I compared my out
of date approach charts with the online versions and noticed that all the
approaches using the SAV VOR had changed, and what's more, the VOR itself had
moved about 5 miles west. No problem, just print new charts from...

Held for 25min over CHS at 3000ft waiting my turn to do the VOR approach

CFI logging instrument time by

A CFI with airplane single-engine rating but not instrument-airplane (not a

Missed approach procedure... by
[email protected]
If the missed approach on the IAP says something like:
heading of 270 to 4000
Intercept the XXX VOR R-180
Direct to XXX VOR
What should you do if you get to R-180 before you get to 4000?
Keep climbing on 270 to 4000?
