Folks:

of Schenectady, NY. I've written up my experiences at:

In-Flight Weather / GPS by
Jonathan Goodish
I've searched the threads on Google, but given the emerging technologies
involved, I'd be interested in any thoughts or recent experience that
anyone can provide regarding the in-flight satellite weather in
particular.
We have a Cherokee with StrikeFinder (which works to avoid the big
stuff) and a...

how to check for currency of Jepp IFR charts by
Guillermo
Hello:
I just wonder if there is a place where you can check which is the last date
changed were made to a Jepp approach chart of Low-Altitude Enroute Chart.
Our club has 49 / 50 enroute charts, that are supposed to be current (last
changed Jul 04), but I found out a frequency was wrong. How do I...

Portable IMC emergency panel by
Ron Garret
Howdy,
I fly a Cirrus SR22, an all-electric plane. It has dual-redundant power
busses, which makes total electrical failure unlikely, but if it does
happen in IMC it can really ruin your day, so I'm thinking about a
backup plan. Obviously a portable GPS and Comm unit are first on the
priority...

ATC Altimeter Settings by
O. Sami Saydjari
When entering an ATC region, we often get an altimeter setting, usually
at some fix. So for example, when entering the Chicago center ATC
region, they say something like, "Midway altimeter is xx.xx." I have
some questions.
1. So, do they pick some fix for the region and give everyone...

Displaced AFSS "controllers" heading for BIL and GRB by
Chip Jones
Well Newps,
The bids have come out for displaced Flight Service controllers to enter the
terminal ATC environment. Looks like KBIL is one of the places they will be
selecting into. I don't see a single ARTCC on the list, just ATC level 6,7
and 8 terminal facilities.
Good luck...
Chip, ZTL

Compass turns revisited by
Bob Gardner
Got a little memory jog in the April 2006 Designee Update...other than
"Basic Instrument Flight Maneuvers," there is nothing in the 2004 (latest)
PTS about timed turns OR compass turns. Nothing. Nada. So instrument pilot
wannabes need not be concerned about demonstrating either one to the
examiner....

Magnetic reversal by

A recent issue of Scientific American had an article about the
Earth's magnetic field reversals. The article presents some

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...

When you're determining if you need an alternate, and whether you can use
an airport for an alternate, do you use the minimum of the normal
forecast, TEMPOs and PROBs?
