Gps with voice, "talking" GPS by
gyrobob
Does there exist a handheld GPS that talks?
A very nice lady here at work wants to give her hubby a gift for his
retirement, and she knows he likes GPSs, and she knows he likes the
voice feature. So far I have not found one for her that talks. The
only GPSs I know of that talk are permanently...

Low and high altitude airways by
David Megginson
(K. Ari Krupnikov) writes:
I've never flown a jet airway (and probably never will, except on an
airliner), but here's a question. There are fewer J routes than V, and

FOK ILS by
M.E. Borner
Does anyone know the status of the ILS at FOK. It has not worked for
two years now. Up until recently it has been NOTAM'ed out of service.
Now the NOTAM is gone as it is published out of service. Publishing
this is a step in the wrong direction - we seem to be even further
away from getting the ILS...

Are handheld GPSes becoming a defacto primary nav source? by
Paul Tomblin
This week I did several IFR flights, some in IMC and most in VMC. On a
couple of those flights, ATC offered me direct to the next VOR after the
one I was navigating to, well before I could actually pick up the signal.
One time departing Rochester, they told me to go direct Elmira when I was
less...

Why some approaches are NA as alternates by
Ben Jackson
What is the reason for an approach (or a whole airport) to be NA as
an alternate? Is there some attribute an approach has to have to be
worthy of being filed as an alternate?
The one that got me wondering was KAST (Astoria, OR) which is NA except
for the VOR Rwy 8 when it also has ILS/LOC and GPS...
