Garmin 296 by
[email protected]
I've used a 295 for aviation purposes since it came out and a Street
Pilot III for auto trips.
Recently, issues developed with reestablishing the update chain for the
SP III road map software.
So, I decided to upgrade to a 296, which does "trains, planes, and
automobiles." (Actually, aviation,...

Pictures needed by
Shane Hubbard
I am looking for pictures of thunderstorms for research purposes.
Specifically I am interested in the tops (anvils) of Thunderstorms.
Even though most airliners / jets do not go over them for turbulence

look at what I am searching...

Why Not Use PC To Make Glass Cockpit? by
Le Chaud Lapin

next to the porcelain throne. Ahem.
However, as I flip the pages of this magazine, I cannot help but think
that companies like Garmin are getting off a bit easy.
Being a software developer, I am very suprised to discover that...

CFII instructor as passenger (FAA) by
Dave S
It IS possible for an instructor to give dual instruction without
logging (or being) PIC.
In one instance, I did some instrument training in my aero-club's
Grumman Tiger. The instrument instructor I used was not yet checked out
in the aircraft type in the club. So, from a club insurance point...

Annunciation Requirements for KLN89B/KX155/209A by
N523RV
I have acquired a KX-155, KLN-89B and a 209A indicator. The 209A has a built-in relay to switch between the GPS and NAV. I'm trying to figure out what 'annunciation' is _required_ for this setup. The MD41 annunciator is about $950. I can get the control head only for about $700.

Greg Farris
In the June AOPA Pilot "State of General Aviation" issue, Bruce
Landsberg gives a gold star to Cessna, for their new production singles,
which, according to the article, have not suffered a single fuel

How long does it take the FAA to publish an approach? by
Beech45Whiskey
Yesterday, I stopped by a small VFR airport in western NY state and struck
up a conversation with a few locals. During the interesting aviation chat
I learned that the FAA had been to their airport a year or so ago
performing a survey that would hopefully result in a GPS approach.
On average, how...

FAR Part 97: Aircraft Approach Categories - IAS vs Ground Speed by
Mark Hansen
I'm an Instrument Airplane student, and am having a disagreement
with my instructor on one topic - that of Aircraft Approach Categories.
According to 14 CFR Part 97.3 (b), it provides the speed ranges for
the different aircraft categories (A-E). In all the documentation I've
read, this "speed" is...
