Thought I'd better share this as others might be flying approaches using the newest Jepp database for the Northstar M3 Approach GPS. I downloaded the newest Northern Hemisphere database using Skybound USB just prior to going for an Instrument Proficiency Check. The examiner had me fly the GPS-B...

FYI. I noticed that some airports are not showing up in the "nearest airport" list on my King KLN-94. Then I noticed that it didn't show on the map page either. But if I go to the airport page and explicitly key in the identifier, it does show the airport information. E.g. KMKN I corresponded...

I'm looking for suggestions for a school to do an IFR finish-up course in December or January. I live in Massachusetts and while I don't mind flying actual IFR there's entirely too much ice in the clouds around here that time of year. A break from the winter chill wouldn't be bad, either. Dave...

I'm an instrument student looking for another pilot to fly with to allow me to log sim instrument time. You could be another instrument student or possibly just someone looking to build XC time. I own a '79 Cessna 152 based at MWC (Timmerman) and I will charge my co-pilot nothing more than 1/2...

I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service. What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts? Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas? Are all the same airports listed? Thanks

Question: I read the latest LTA (letter to airman, 2008/06/19) for the latest RNAV flight plan. In the last paragraph, it says "It is important to communicate your maximum RNAV capability so the filer can enter information which allows FAA automation to generate RNAV arrival and departure routes...

According to Garmin's product literature, the GNS 430 and 530 are "WAAS-upgradeable", yet there is no information as to when this upgrade might be available. Does anyone have any other information on this? -- Dane

I have the ear of some local government development people, who are contemplating upgrading some airports. Money is tight, so an ILS is probably not under consideration. So, I want to recommend to them checking into a WAAS installation. Does anyone know what the prices of such equipment for an...

Hy, here is little sim written in flash. Parts are in german language, but it´s easy to use and makes fun. http://www.avionic-market.de/bzf or direct: http://www.avionic-market.de/bzf/cvfr.swf

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?

Hi there, Could somebody point me to the official FAA document that describes the calls required for all stages of an VOR/DME approach including the hold (beacon outbound / beacon inbound etc...) Thanks, Derek...

I'm hoping one or more of you instrument pilots (or controllers) could help me with an IAP question. The airport involved is RKW, which is Rockwood, Tennessee. The IAP in question is the VOR/DME RWY 22 into Rockwood. If you have the plate or know the procedure, I hope you can help me out. RKW...

I was looking at the L1/L2 chart between RBL (Red Bluff) and SAC (Sacramento). The change over point is at GRIDD because the airway changes direction slightly. The only thing is, it shows the DME distance to GRIDD from SAC as being 55nm. If I'm below 14,500, don't all VORs have a service volume...

There are a couple of techniques I've never been particularly good at while flying, proper rudder work, and smooth turn onto a VOR radial without over or undershooting the needle. What's a good way to smoothly know when to start a standard rate turn onto the heading to intercept a VOR/GPS...

On one of my $100.00 hamburger flights my VOR-Glideslope went in op. Worked fine until I landed then at take of it would not register. I visually checked the antenna, but every thing seemed to be OK. That afternoon I flew to my avionics shop for a check up. Of course my plane is due for the 24...
