Alternate Mimimums? by
smf
What exactly does the /A\na on approach plates mean. I know it says
Alternate minimums not authorized. Does it mean the airport can't be used as
an alternate?
thanks

OK...What's up with the Flight Service Stations... ?
Lately (3-6 months) I have found them to be grumpy and very unhelpful. They
come across as condescending and expect you to take what drool they deliver
without question or review and be thankful.....please don't even think of

Picking Optimal Altitudes by
O. Sami Saydjari
When planning a flight against the wind, how to you pick the best
altitude when trying to minimize flight time?
If I read my performance charts correctly, my aircraft (Piper Turbo
Arrow III -- service ceiling 20,000 ft) seems to gain about 2 nts of
*true* airspeed for every 1000 feet you go up. ...

I am planning a long cross country where I am trying to minmiize the

Winter Cloud Tops by
O. Sami Saydjari
This is somewhat related to the optimal altitudes question, but I
thought I would start a new thread here...
What are the typical cloud tops at for winter flying--if there is any
such thing as typical. I would venture to guess that tops are below
10,000 ft 80% of the time. I am talking here...

How do you interpret... by
EDR
When filling IFR, there are two boxes you put numbers in, AIRSPEED and
TIME ENROUTE.
These go back to the old days, but are still applicable today.
AIRSPEED, as the name implies, tells ATC how fast your airplane is
going through the air.
TIME ENROUTE tells ATC when to expect you at your...

Joystick calibration problem with On Top 8.0 by

I therefore know the joystick is working, but something in the On Top
