I actually posted this in another aviation newsgroup in which I actively post all the time but didn't get a reply... I assume because of the crash in Manhattan got everybody's attention. That being said, I'm still hoping for some insight from the more recently trained. ==== cut begins...

I have just recently acquired a Garmin 430/WAAS for my Mooney 201. In practicing approaches to familiarize myself with the unit, I went up with an instructor to get some advice/tips. I had flown a GPS overlay approach (NDB/GPS Runway 5 KLWM, Lawrence MA) previously in VFR conditions and tracked the...

complete beginner however have funds to get pilots training this course starts in september and i would like to know what to start on to study any suggestions thank you for being patient with a beginner kimmer

I have just one question for you Garmin GNS 430 owners: The 430, of course, can output both GPS and VOR data to a CDI indicator. However, what I'm wondering, is if you have two CDI's, can the 430 run both of them at the SAME TIME.. one CDI set to GPS output and the other CDI set to VOR...

I got mine last week. I'm very disappointed. Although there is a lot of valuable material in it and the graphics are very, very nice, it is possibly the worst organized book I have ever seen. Both in the writing and in the layout & typography. For example, three levels of unnumbered headings...

I recently got a tablet PC, HP TC1100, and a little bluetooth GPS receiver to go with it. Rode in the back seat of an Arrow this afternoon and played for a couple of hours with the APIC software. Lots of warts on APIC, one of which was missing airports. I'm in the Minneapolis area and just west...

I am curious how people hold their NACO plates on kneeboards and yoke boards. One plate or the whole book. I have designed a little gadget that makes this easy but have no idea whether the market wants such a gadget or not. I did; that's why I designed it. TIA.

Until recently I have been quite a fan of Dauntless Software's products, having used both their written test prep packages and their Safelog product. I have recommended them here. All good things come to an end, however. Beginning in May, the "free" Safelog upgrades come with a poison pill....

We are getting a brand new ILS 26 at KANE and I just downloaded the plate. The miss is what I expected to see and is a hold at the GEP "Gopher" VOR a few miles to the west. But there is also a hold depicted at the PNM NDB, which is a long ways away. That hold is not mentioned on the plate. I...

Has anyone compared the training discs from ASA and King? Recommendations? I am going to check out in a C182T/G1000 and may want to buy one of these. (I have seen the Sporty's disc -- it is tourist stuff.)

I was checking out in a Civil Air Patrol 182T the other day and the check airman pulled the power on me. No big deal, but then he demonstrated how the glide improved when the propeller was pulled to low RPM. No one had ever showed that to me before. Question is: In retrospect it seems...

Departing cross country out of the Minneapolis area in severe clear, I will usually ask for either flight following or will file. I depart from KMIC, which is under the 4000 foot shelf of the MSP bravo airspace. For example, Friday I am going from KMIC to KGPZ, which is a couple hundred miles to...

Gents, Though this is not strictly an IFR question, I am pretty sure that you have opinions that I would like to get. Subject is Lycoming O-360 engines. I have flown behind a number of them in Pipers and the POH instruction on carb heat is always "as required." Specifically there is no...

On 7/12/2005 8:21 AM, wrote the following: a) I (assume I am legally PIC in the airspace in question) can carry a CFII as a mere passenger, and Not just airspace. If you are not IA rated, you cannot act as PIC on an IFR flight plan. You log PIC because you are rated...
