Any of you use "No dips no Stars" in the remarks section of the flight plan? All comments appreciated, pro and con. Hank 172 driver

Took off Saturday morning at 6:30 still very dark. Got my IFR clearance in the air and soon was in solid IMC. Some clouds were nasty black. Got course deviation don't like to bounce my plane around. 2 hours into the flight the clouds were not as nasty. 30 minutes later I landed at SGJ for fuel....

Just looked at my approach plates. Very few have NDB approaches, some are VOR DME, some require ADF. More and more now are GPS. Since I can use the GPS instead of DME for Some VOR approaches, is it not wise (prudent) to get an IFR certified GPS now? Should it be a Garmin 430 or a 480? The cost of...

I had reported on my trip to Georgia a few days ago. Now the rest of the story. I used Airnav for the cheapest fuel stops. Also used it to get my motel at Days Inn with the discount on Airnav. When I called for my reservation the gentle man quoted a price of $71.00. I told him I could get a better...

How difficult is it to master the Garmin 480? What instruction material comes with the unit? In one of the advertisements it states that you can program clearances into the unit as fast as one can write them. I find this hard to believe, I use shorthand to copy the clearance on my pad. C R A F...

http://www.jumpingpixels.com/riskyairways.html I'm about to begin Flight-school, and I'm always curious about Aviation-Clips. I have a serious question in regards to this "Take OFF" seen in this video. Is this low Take Off approach on purpose or Pilot Error, and would you consider this dangerous or...

This is great footage from the landing of a Jet-Airplane by JET BLUE with Landing-Gear Problems. The Landing-Gear is positioned sideways. It is amazing to me what this tires and axles can withstand without falling apart and the pilot is doing a great job too...

If you up there in the Cockpit, look out of the window and see an Lawnmower, don't be alerted, you are not crazy. They now have flying Lawnmowers. The same group of Hobby-ingenieurs also developed a flying doghouse and working on a flying Washmachine and a flying...

Hello ! I am currently reading a book about IFR flying. "The complete advanced pilot" by Bob Gardner. In the book, i came across the term "to shoot an aproach" What does that mean ? Can anybody please explain ?

Hello to all ! I know this is stoneage history stuff but does anybody have a pinout for the Bendix T12D ADF reciever ? Any other info welcomed too. Henning DE

Does anyone know how to download planned routes from Flitestar to a Garmin 430? The only way I found is to key it in again which is pretty cumbersome. What's the best practive here? I am grateful for every bit of good advice! Herb

I have also considered using the iPad for my flying but it says in its specs that it is only certified for operation up to 3000m, i.e. roughly 10,000ft. This in my optinion severly limits its usage for flying, together with the missing GPS. regards Herbert schrieb im...
