GPS Question by rps
I thought I understood this, but maybe not. GPS systems were certified for approaches after I got my instrument ticket, so my knowledge is more anecdotal than from actual training. Can an approach-certified GPS be used to substitute for NDB and DME during an approach (or even en route)? What if...

FSDO enforcement- GPS before effective date - which date to put in Aircraft Log for Part 43? by Ron A.
Everyone seems to agree that that FAR 43 requires a maintenance log entry when updating the database. And everyone agrees that it is silly. What date do you put down for the maintenance ( I know the obvious answer - the date you did it)? If I update multiple planes this weekend with the database...

Fast forward to the futu WAAS 200 minimums by scott moore
Now that the WAAS minimums are going to be 200, same as ILS, and the first WAAS approaches are going to be overlaid over standard ILS approaches, the question arises: Which approach makes more sense to an ILS runway, use of the ILS, or the WAAS? Before you say "good ole ILS", consider: WAAS is...

Strategy for icing due to freezing rain by Bob Gardner
Are you familiar with Skew-T diagrams? They show a continual track of temperature and dewpoint versus altitude as reflected by the RAOB balloon. Might be better than depending on rules of thumb. Just Google Skew-T and you will get plenty of links. Bob Gardner "Peter" wrote...

Strategy for icing due to freezing rain by Bill
The advice to climb is based on the idea that it's warmer above, which is an interesting theory. You could die getting up to where it's warmer. You should do an immediate 180 and get out of there. During your preflight wx brief, you need to have your radar turned on HIGH to any hint that there...

Strategy for icing due to freezing rain by Doug
If you go into visible moisture below freezing you can get ice. I just use the airmets. If there is an icing airmet where I want to fly, I don't go. The solution for ice is to turn on the deice equipment. If you don't have it, you are pretty much screwed. Get out of it any way you can. If you...

Anyone had fuel tank air vent icing up? by Ronnie
Years back, a local flight school had a Trinidad TB-20. The owner of the flight school told me this story. A rental pilot called him up during a flight and stated that his wings were collapsing. The advice was to get the airplane on the ground as quickly as possible. The cause was blockage of the...

Anyone had fuel tank air vent icing up? by Bill
It's a problem in Bonanzas & Barons. Heated fuel vents are an option on some Barons. You can tell it's happening by noting the fuel gauges. They go UP! The bladder sucks up from the tank and deflects the outbound level sender when the vents are blocked. You need a plan to be on the ground.

Military Airfield Procedures.. by Dan
Last night I took a quick trip to KYUM. On approach, the controller mentioned that the "arresting gear was up" on the runway I was to land on. Being unfamiliar with arresting gear and flying an Archer, I asked the controller specifically what that meant. He indicated that it consisted of a cable...

GNS430 Without the IAF by Jerry
Hello, Here's a situation that keeps coming up: I'm coming home to SQL and want to fly the GPS30 approach. Like many GPS approaches, this one looks like the letter "L". The corner of the L is AMEBY, and 5 miles later after that is the FAF, CUZUP. AMEBY is not an IAF, but that doesn't stop...
