Precision instrument flying by
Matt Whiting
I was just reviewing the new Elmira One departure procedure. I think
the government has let GPS go to their heads. Unless I'm reading it
incorrectly, it specifies the initial heading out to TWO decimal places!
The procedure is pretty trivial as it basically says to fly runway
heading to 4000...

Picking a Star/DP by
Bill
I got my instrument rating at an accelerated school in California.
Overall, I think my instruction went well, and I was very happy with
the results. I passed my checkride in a Piper Lance, and had no
troubles.
There was one part though that never quite made sense to me. My
instructor told me to...

CNX-80 "discontinuity" by
Roy Smith
When you put a flight plan into the CNX-80, you end up with a
"discontinuity" before the last fix. My habit is to delete the
discontinuity as soon as I finish entering the route. Another
instructor in my club teaches that you should NOT delete the
discontinuity.
I can't see any strong arguments...

Safety Pilots? by
Wizard of Draws
I rent and fly 172s out of Gainesville, GA (KGVL). I used to fly out of 47A
and had a number of safety pilots available there (too far to be convenient
for them now), but this FBO is fairly new and doesn't have a list put
together yet of pilots that can safety for me.
Anyone know of a good place...

Garmin 396 weather problems by

On a recent flight I could not get my 396 to download weather. I've called
Garmin, given them my antenna number, and was assured I don't have a bad
one. I took the magnets out so no warrenty possibilities.

Trimble TL1000 GPS Questions by
Jim Carter[_1_]
I can't seem to find any significant data on the web about this panel

eBay Second Chance Offerings by

fraud; the buyer had completed the transaction.
