Pease 2 Departure at KPSM by
Ron Rosenfeld
What is the reason for the Obstacle (Jepp) or Note (NACO) for Rwy 34 about
crossing the threshold at or above 10' AGL.
Is it for certain heavily loaded military a/c?
Under what sort of circumstances would it come into play?
Or is there something else I'm missing here?

Chicago VFR throughway by
Stuart King
Chicagoans...please advise ...
What about flying from North to South along the shore.
Then cross between Midway and O'Hare at 1500MSL.
Then continue south, after flipping the bird to Mayor Dick Daley.
Is this the way, or is there something like the Hudson river VFR corridor ?

Legend for Jepp Charts by
CB
Anyone know where on the web I can get hold of the legend for the Jepp low
level enroute charts.
Unlike the NACO charts the Jepp charts don't have the legend on the charts.
Having used the NACO for the written, I wanted to evaluate the Jepps by
comparing them with the NACOs.
I have a couple of...

Meigs Class D Airspace by

previous threads about Meigs Class D. I called my local FSDO (Grand

KSFO ATIS: "FG IN GAP W" by
David Ziemba
During the summer months, during which the stratus sits off the
Northern California coast threatening to move inland, the KSFO ATIS
frequently contains a comment that reads "FG IN GAP W". Via empirical
observation, I'm assuming that this means that there's fog in the gap
between the hills due west...

Computer STAR/SID names by
K. Ari Krupnikov
What is the significance of the first portion of a computer name for a
STAR, such as PXN.COMMO1 which is called COMMO ONE ARRIVAL into
Oakland? Is there a connection to Panoche VOR (PXN)? Should one read
the name as "commo one arrival, Panoche transition"?

Time for certificate issuance? by
Jeremy Lew
I passed my IA checkride on April 17th, and still haven't received my
newfangled plastic certificate. The FAA airmen database lists the rating,
so I know they're aware of it. The DE gave me a temporary certificate which
expires in less than a month, what should I do assuming it doesn't come
soon?...

why ADF/DME for LCI ILS 8? by
Gary Drescher
The LCI ILS 8 approach plate says ADF or DME is required. But all the
necessary fixes (including the MAHWP) can be identified by the VORs, ILS,
and OM. So why the requirement for ADF or DME?
