Altimeter off by kevmor
How can you adjust an altimeter if the pressure isn't correct in the window for the altitude? I started talking to my examiner about it on the checkride and he said that a lot of people adjust it themselves (not an avionics shop, etc), and he said you take the front off (I think) and theres a...

American Flyers Test Prep by mark
Has anyone taken the IFR written test prep from American Flyers? I'm looking for some input on it. I was thinking of taking the Aviation Seminar course, but its not held very often, making it much less convenient. URL http://www.americanflyers.net/about/writtenclass.asp Thanks

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...

Ancient VOR Transmitter ?? by [email protected]
I recently received this large single-frequency transmitter from an elderly gentleman who used to be a ham radio operator. I have not been able to pin down exactly what it is. Some folks have given the opinion that it may be an old VOR transmitter. I'm wondering if someone can identify it? Give...

angle points in victor airways by John Hamilton
If I am navigating along a Victor Airway, and want to program it into my GPS, how can I tell if there is an angle (i.e. change in direction) at an intersection? I know that some intersections are there just because of changes in MOA, MOCA, etc, but definitely some are there because the airways...

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. The real...

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...

Another Canadian difference? by Paul Tomblin
I know that in Canada, when you're cleared for the approach, you can start descending to the MSA. But today while being vectored for the LOC/DME RWY 12 at Oshawa, I was told "turn 030 for the base leg", and then I almost immediately blew right through the localizer. Was I supposed to take that as...

ANOTHER CURRENCY QUESTION by philpoppins
Suppose your currency has lapsed. Say 7 months ago you did 3 approaches and then 3 months ago you did a hold, VOR tracking and 3 more approaches. Your currency has lapsed. Would flying 3 approaches under the hood make you current, or since your currency has lapsed would you have to do all 6 plus...

Another difference between the US and Canada. by Roger Halstead
I had a friend ask me today how I'd cancel a flight plane that I had never activated. I gave the usual answer...If I never activated it, I don't need to cancel it. If I haven't activated it past the closing time it gets dropped. Canceling one that has been activated and flown is *usually* not a...

Another IFR "oops" by Dan Luke
Another one of those things I guess I should have been ready for sneaked up on me this morning. We were going from BFM to EET (Shelby County Airport, Alabaster, Alabama) and the ceiling was right at minimums for the RNAV 33 approach, and below minimums for the VOR-A. Naturally, I wanted the RNAV...
