Wet, Bumpy, and Cold by Andrew Gideon
Ha! I bet you thought that this was going to be some porn spam. Well...perhaps not after the "Cold" bit grin. I'd a very nice "getting feet wet" flight today. I was in the clouds for roughly half the brief (two hour) (CDW-SWF-CDW) flight, I was in wet clouds watching the thermostat drop, and...

Direct To a waypoint in flightplan on Garmin 430 by Andrew Gideon
On the Bendex/King gear on which I learned, it was easy to skip to another way point on the flight plan. And this was very convenient, as it comes up fairly often when IFR, at least for me. For example, I'll very often be told "direct SBJ" when leaving CDW, only get "direct ..." to the...

Where is approach good about multiple approaches and clearances in the air? by Andrew Gideon
I'm no freight dog or corporate pilot with dozens of approaches to minimums each day. For me, as with many GA pilots I expect, maintaining *real* currency involves explicit practice. That's fine; I enjoy it. But I'd like to try some new places. The issue is that I'd like to try some new places...

DUAT preferred routes vs. Jepp by Andrew Gideon
Planning a flight from CDW to CQX, I found in Jepp one route: BREZY V39 CMK V3 HFD V167 PVD V151 GAILS. DUAT offers another: FALLZ V3 JEWIT V167 PEAKE Am I likely to get the DUAL routing if I request it? I'm surprised that it would yield something different from Jepp. Admittedly, it's not much...

IFR from CQX (Chatham, MA) by Andrew Gideon
I see that CQX has a clearance delivery frequency, so IFR ops there apparently don't require a phone call to FSS (excluding the filing, of course). But when IFR out of KCDW, I can expect release delays because CDW departures are treated with lower priority than TEB, EWR, and probably...

Liberals Ignore The Wright Brothers by Andrew Gideon
Liberals HATE America wrote: Alas, Orville and Wilbur Wright are today pigeon-holed as "dead white males" whom we are supposed to ignore, if not deplore. The author is sadly misinformed. I couldn't care less about "white" or "male". However, "dead" is a Bad Thing. I certainly expend a...

An odd clearance...can anyone explain? by Andrew Gideon
Departing Lancaster the other day, I received an odd clearance. I was cleared from the airport to the Lancaster VOR, then East Texas VOR... It was that first leg (Lancaster Airport to Lancaster VOR) that confused me. The VOR is on the field. I have little choice but to go past it as a trundle...

LNAV, VNAV and LPV by Andrew Sarangan
Is there a formal discussion of these various approach minimums? I looked through all the obvious places (AIM, GPS manuals, AOPA articles), but I haven't found a comprehensive discussion of these. Example: My understanding of LNAV/VNAV is that it has a barometrically generated glideslope. That...

Flight planning software minimization algorithm by Andrew Sarangan
Most of the software out there will compute a flight based on the user's route, time of departure and altitude. This is a fairly straight forward task which could be done without a computer, as has been the case for decades. What I am looking for is the reverse. Given a destination, aircraft type...

Anyone willing to email me a Canadian Chart? by Andrew Sarangan
Can someone be kind enough to email me the instrument approach and Flight Supplement page for two Toronto airports (City Center and Buttonville)? Scanned images would be great. I am leaving on a trip this week and did not realize that buying charts from Canada will take at least a week by...

Another approach question by Andrew Sarangan
On VOR/DME-B @ 69V, there is a comment that says PT is not authorized when arriving northbound on V208. Then on the bottom of the chart it says "Procedure Turn NA". Why bother printing the first statement, when PT is clearly not authorized for any transitions? Is this a left-over from a old chart...

Substitute Routes - what exactly are they? by Andrew Sarangan
These are shown on the LL enroute chart by little brown circles connected by a line. The legend says "substitute route, see NOTAMs". There are several originating from the DQO VOR near the Washington DC area, but there could be others as well. I have never noticed these before. Any ideas what they...

3 Attachment(s) Why small radius collects ice faster? by Andrew Sarangan
Is there an explanation for why small radii objects collect ice faster? The NASA icing video simply states this fact without giving an explanation. I have found the same with most other sources as well.

Pop-up IFR from Clearance Delivery by Andrew Sarangan
Can Clearance Delivery (through an RCO on the ground) give a pop-up IFR instead of Approach? So far I have found that they ask me to call Approach when airborne, or file with FSS. Is there an operational consideration that prevents CD from giving a pop-up?

Victor Airways on Approach Control Radar? by Andrew Sarangan
The other day I queried an approach controller to find out how well we are doing tracking the airway centerline. He said his radar scope does not show the airways. I was surprised by this. Is this normal? I know that Center controllers have airways on their radar, but it appears that Approach...

Can ATC assign an airway if filed direct? by Andrew Sarangan
If you file to a VOR direct, can ATC clear you along an airway instead, and expect you to look up the airways? In other words, how important is to carry an enroute chart if you don't plan on using airways?

Icing Airmets by Andrew Sarangan
I've been watching the icing airmets for some time now, and it seems to be getting more and more conservative to the point of being unrealistic. For example, right now the freezing level is at 5000 ft, MEA is at 2500 ft, yet we have an airmet Z that goes all way from SFC to 18k. How could you...

AF/D's and NOTAM by Andrew Sarangan
I am curious how many of you routinely consult the AF/D prior to every IFR flight. The reason is, a well known FAA inspector at a recent safety seminar commented that those little green books were not of much use anymore, and that most pilots simply don't use them. I was surprised, because I've...

Approach Timer Frustration by Andrew Sarangan
Over the years I have been using various digital timers, but so far I have not been satisfied with any of them. The LCD displays make them difficult to read when viewing at different angles. The right seat pilot (or CFII) cannot see the digits. Lack of illumination in most units is another big...

Trouble filing IFR to Canadian Airports by Andrew Sarangan
I've made this flight many times before and never encountered this before. I filed from my home airport (MGY) to PT(which is an NDB) to CYKZ using DUATS. Everything went fine. When I called for my clearance, they didn't have anything on me. So I departed VFR, and tried calling again. Still no luck....
