OLV GPS 36 approach question by
A Lieberma
Went out seeking some IMC time today. Severe clear at my home airport,
so took a trip from KMBO (Madison MS) to KOLV (Olive Branch MS)
Early morning clouds at OLV was 500 overcast, so I figured by the time I
got there, it would at least be broken. It wasn't the clouds that was
restricting the...

Sold out by IFR by
Mike Rapoport
I used to subscribe to IFR until I realized that they offered a much better
rate to new subscribers than to existing ones. After realizing this, my
four year old decided to subscribe :-). Today he recieved a solicitation
from another aviation magazine. Obviously they sold his (and my) name...

IFR hold short line at uncontrolled airports? by
Peter R.
Today I dropped an Angel Flight patient off at Massena, NY (KMSS), an
uncontrolled airport in the very north portion of NY state. The weather
was 50 feet above minimums and the ILS was the only way in.
Once the patient was safely in the warm terminal, I preflighting and
started up, only to...

Nasa Icing courses by
Jim Burns
As many of you probably know, recent midwest weather has been a steady
stream of low overcast, misty, and foggy days prohibiting most VFR flight
and making IFR flights a spin of the icing roulette wheel. I thought it may
be a good opportunity for us to review NASA's icing online...

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 ...

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...

IR checkride story! by
Guy Elden Jr.
Ok, time for me to fill y'all in on today's adventure... my IR checkride!
First, let me thank all of those (in rec.aviation.student at least!) who
have posted their PPL checkride stories. I've read a few over the past week
or so, and they helped calm me down quite a bit in preparation for today....

who uses FSS? by
McGregor
I get my pre-flight briefings from:
*) weathertap - RadarLab, area outlook, tafs, progs
*) ADDS - flightpath tool for AIRMETS & winds aloft along the route
*) FlightStar - to tell me how long it'll take, print nice-looking flight
plans, plan fuel stops, etc.
Then I call flight service and listen...

More IFR with VFR GPS questions by
Chris Quaintance
Hi Folks-
Without descending into the madness of the other thread, I have a
couple of questions regarding the use of a VFR GPS while IFR.
Hypothetically, let's say I was flying IFR from Santa Monica, CA to San
Jose, CA (SMO to RHV). The weather is CAVU. I am filed /A and cleared
via a fairly...

IFR/Flight Following -- ATC Preferences? by
Mitty
Departing cross country out of the Minneapolis area in severe clear, I will
usually ask for either flight following or will file. I depart from KMIC, which
is under the 4000 foot shelf of the MSP bravo airspace.
For example, Friday I am going from KMIC to KGPZ, which is a couple hundred
miles to...

Low and high altitude airways by

(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
they connect fewer navaids. So it can happen that your destination is

Logging instrument approaches by
Slav Inger
It's been awhile since I flew VFR, and having taken a cursory look
through Part 61 I didn't see anything to the contrary, so I'm going to
throw this out and see what you guys think. It's my understanding that
I can take a VFR-only airplane on a local VFR trip with a PP-rated
safety pilot on board,...

IFR Passengers? by
C Kingsbury
What are your standards for taking passengers up into actual conditions?
I've developed a decent feel for what people will tolerate VFR- who can take
a few bumps, who will get scared if its windy, etc. But I haven't got any
idea what to make of taking pax into the soup. Is it as disorienting...

Flying through Canadian airspace by
M
I'll take a few flights between Rochester, NY and the Detroit area this
summer. Going through the Canadian airspace just seems so much
shorter. I can go IFR.
My questions is:
* I don't need to deal with customs at all, as long as I don't stop at
Canada, right?
* Do I need to use the ICAO...

More info on GNS 430/530 WAAS upgrade by

I recently made an inquiry to Garmin regarding their new requirement
that GNS 430/530 owners pre-order the WAAS upgrade prior to November
2005 to guarantee the $1500 price their marketing department has been
stating for the past 2 years...
Keeping in mind the WAAS upgrade for these boxes are...

NACO approach plates by

Different WAAS altitude readings by
Wyatt Emmerich
My Garmin 296 indicates 330 MSL at KHKS, which is correct. My Echo Flight
GPS indicates 140 MSL. Both are locked on to WAAS.
How can I have such a large discrepancy? Both units seem to be functioning
properly other than this.
