any reason for there to be NO vor/loc data appearing in the data field below the vloc window when a vor or ils is active frequency?

In regard to insurance, unless your insurance excludes it, you are covered. So read your policy, paying close attention to the exclusions. I can't imagine that a policy would exclude coverage for something like that. All mine requires is the airplane be in annual at the anniversary date of the...

It is apparently not possible to communicate with you directly, so let me explain how I got the 1.4 miles of protected airspace on the non-maneuvering side of procedure turn airspace, and apologize for being wrong...the protected airspace is 4.0 miles wide, giving the pilot even less reason to work...

I raised a question about this a while back. V7 runs a little farther offshore than I'm comfortable with in my single. I recently filed V7 from northern WI south to Gary, IN. When I got to Milwaukee, ATC started to vector me, steering me much closer to land than the filed route. I hadn't asked...

This has probably been discussed before but here goes. Why is it that some of the published DP's aren't in the data base? Such as the south fla. area. FLL, FXE and HWO don't have any dp's in the data base. Mia has 2 but there are several more for the area. thanks steve

The LOC-D approach for SAN DIEGO/GILLESPIE FIELD (SEE) shows different minimums for "GRIGG FM". There is an ident code shown for GRIGG, but no frequency. Is the dot-dash-dot ident just the generic MM ident? I can't find "GRIGG" listed as an airspace fix at airnav.com. Are the higher minimums to be...

Hi, I'm European and I'm looking for time buiding in US. I've found that: http://www.aussie-air.com/ Is anybody have feedbak about this flightschool ? or if you know some serious flightschool which propose time buiding, just let me know. Thanks in advance. Skybe

Have you ever "made up" an approach to a nonexistent airport for the purposes of training or currency? I mean, to pick a space in the boonies, and then use nearby navaids to fashion a homemade approach to an imaginary runway. Some instructors will do this. Now, I was wondering, is there any way...

With LAAS in limbo, FAA buys more ILSs by John Sheridan The FAA is expected to announce a major ILS contract award within the next 90 days, according to agency insiders. As currently written, the contract will call for the purchase and installation of as many as 615 instrument landing systems...

Different career field in Government but the same reason the FAA is in a state of decline http://www.townhall.com/columnists/walterwilliams/ww20050601.shtml

Hi I am interested in more information. Where is the best spot? You can email me at any of the following addresses: Thanks, Sam ...

I'm trying to understand how capable the new breed of integrated avionics suites are (Aviyne Eclipse, Garmin G1000), and read somewhere that although these systems are very capable, they don't have the "mission capabilities" of a Proline 21. I.e., the Eclipse and Garmin systems are ok for...

Today I flew into KBFI (Boeing field) which is class D and has extentions that underlie the Class B that require close attention to altitudes and headings so as to stay clear. Today the winds were favoring 31L (and 31R) and I came in from the west on the Vashon approach--the most common approach...

On the way to Pinckneyville last weekend, I stopped at Jimmy Stewart Field, Indiana, PA. KIDI. I had to shoot the GPS 28 approach with a cirle to land 10. There's a nice transition off the Revloc VOR. Since we had a late start, we had planned to stop there for the night, but by the time we left...

I am sure this has been asked a hundred times, but can someone point me to a website that has a searchable archive of this newsgroup? I posted something last year (I think)...either here or on rec.aviation.owning...dealing with considering buying my next airplane. There were some really great...

So, ah, where was FAA Air Traffic control during this debacle??? Real warm fuzzy knowing a 150 can just wander in the most restricted airspace on Earth with no bells and whistles before it was 3 miles away from the White House. It should have been noticed 60 miles out not 3. Got to be an Air...

I'm a Part 135 pilot and we're starting to get a lot of missions that are two pilot crews. These are in airplanes that don't require a SIC as the AutoPilots work, we're not flying over 8 hours and it's not required by the Type certificate. I'm a Captain in all the planes but move to the right...

Hi, Sorry for posting it here, but living in Europe its really not that easy to find a suitable aircraft for rent in the USA. I'm looking for a twin or a fast single to rent beginning of June in the New York City area to fly it down to Florida and back in the course of one and half weeks. I will...

I've got about 6 hours now and find it not the slightest bit fun. Can anyone remind me why I'm inflicting this on myself?
