Is it legal for a non-instrument rated pilot to file IFR in his own name in order to undergo instrument training while accompanied by his CFII ? In other words. Who should file IFR for a training instrument flight ? The student or the CFII ? Thanks for input -- Roy

Would it make sense to cross an NDB 3 times in the completion of an approach? I'm thinking where there is a hold in lieu of a PT, you may cross the NDB, complete a parallel hold entry, cross the NDB a second time, then do a racetrack with timing and descent, then cross a third time as the FAF.... ...

I would be interested in getting opinions about backup systems for a vacuum pump failure and/or AI failure. I have a 172P with a single vacuum pump system, standard instruments otherwise, and a Garmin 430. I am most concerned about having a good backup if I lose a vacuum pump or AI in IMC. I have...

Hello, Here you are tootling along on your IFR flight plan - maybe on vectors - whatever, you're exactly where you should be, following ATC's instructions to the letter, and they then say "35Siera, you have traffic at 10:00 east to west three miles 7000 feet a Boeing 737

I see the latest batch of government approach plates are printed on nice white paper, rather like the stuff Jepp uses. Much better! The nasty old paper they used to use was very hard to read in low light conditions as the contrast was rather lacking. They are always one step behind Jepp, but at...

I recall reading about false lobes on the glideslope, and have seen it firsthand doing practice approaches in VMC. I thought it was due to antenna sidelobes, and thus the localizer might be subject to a similar phenomenon. I have yet to see anyone reference this, so is there a technical reason...

I'm looking for a PDA program that will do wifi to allow duats flight plans to be filed where there is a wireless hotspot like an FBO. Probably would work thru DUATs. Should be heavily template driven so that I only have to fill in a few things. Bill Hale

This bit sums up all that is wrong with European flying :- "Respondents should note, however, that EASA will need to establish instrument rating requirements that are appropriate for European operations and weather conditions and that previous work by experts indicates that requirements based...

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...
