Could you share a GPS? by
Paul Tomblin
David Megginson and I were discussing the avionics the other day, and we
had a very strange thought.
We know that radios can be pulled out and swapped, usually with a single
screw. Would it be possible to buy a single approach certified GPS, like
a Garmin 530 or something, and put trays in...

Uplink weather advice by
Richard Kaplan
If you are planning to invest in an installed system then I agree the WSI
system is the best at this point. It is a "transmission" rather than
"request" system so therefore you can get continually updated weather data.
Even more importantly, WSI is an extremely well-established entity in...

$100 Hamburgers in Maine by
Patrick
Hi folks,
We're headed up to Bangor and Bar Harbor to cool down for a vacation next
week and I was thinking about renting an airplane for a day or two and
touring part of the state. Any thoughts on neat destinations in the area?
Also, I wonder if any FBOs or clubs rent Bonanzas up there?
All...

Anyone use Aeroplanner? by
Glenn Westfall
I am a current user of Destination Direct and it is a great program.
I also purchased some Maptech CD's for charts and the moving map
feature using a GPS is awsome. The only downside is you cannot print
out the sectionals along your route with DD. The printing feature of
the sectionals using DD...

Riddle me this, pilots by

Atlanta. Here's the deal.
I was working a Center departure sector mixing Atlanta terminal departures
of every ilk and kin with enroute...

Picking up a Clearance Airborne by
Brad Z
I was departing Harford Co MD airport yesterday (0W3) enroute to
Chesterfield MD (FCI). 0W3 is a small non-towered field with no ground
communications to ATC or FSS. In trying to pick up my clearance on the
ground, I attempted to contact Leesburg FSS on the 1-800-WX-BRIEF. Due to
call volume, I ...

IPC in a Simulator? Phoenix area.. by
Anonymous
I am looking for a flight school in the Phoenix area that can give me
an IPC (or let me log approaches for currency) in a simulator. Sim
time just seems so much more efficient than taking the real thing out
in CAVU and putting a hood on... Does anyone know of such a place?
Please post your...

Garmin 430/530 Questions by
Steve Coleman
Can you program in a radial off of a VOR to use as a GPS course?
For example, say your cleared from your present position to intercept a
given radial inbound. Up to this point you've been flying direct, or flying
a set of GPS waypoints. You're navigating off of GPS, not VOR. When this
happens...

Looks like XMradio weather is hitting the streets.. by
Anonymous
Anyone looked at http://www.airgator.com/ ? Looks like one of the
first portable WX systems based on XMradio broadcast technology.

I don't suppose anyone has used this and could offer feedback? I wish
AnywhereMap would change from the GlobalStar phones to this

Avionics ? by
Hankal
VOR frequency 108.6 on flip flop.
On one of my KX 155 I tried to put in 108.6. It would not show as such.
It was something like 109.0 then when I flipped it to the left is showed as
108.6.
Strange and very confusing since I was setting up for the VOR approach.
Avionics shop is closed for the...

Hello.
My home base airport (KOSU) has ILS 9R approach and NDB 27L approach.
My question is,
Can they have Localizer Back Course 27L?
I am wondering if the signal is always avaialble on the reverse
side of Localizer. Or should there be something extra to have
Localizer back course?

Good Source For PIREPS? by

Anyone out there have any good web sources for up-to-date, textual
PIREPS? Multiple ones over a wide area would be a plus.
The only solid way I've found to get them is to log on to DUATS and do

time consuming, and I know theres...
