A few questions about fast (by spamcan standards) approaches in busy terminal environments: 1) Is there any point in practicing any "best forward speed" approaches besides the ILS? 2) How fast is fast enough? Obviously 120kts is better than 90kts (maybe 1.5m less time after you turn onto the...

The SLE LOC BC RWY 13 FAF is located at ARTTY: http://myairplane.com/databases/approach/NorthWest/SLE_lbr13.pdf In the notes it says "Artty Int not authorized for final approach fix". However it sure does look like the FAF in the elevation view. So only the fan marker can be used to identify the...

I've been playing with the PDF approach plates. Well rendered they are easily readable at 600x800 (they're taller than they are wide, but narrower than the 4:3 aspect ratio of most display) with 16 levels of grayscale. 480x640 is pretty good with 16 levels of gray, down to right on the ragged...

I got an old NARCO LRN-840 LORAN-C that I want to reanimate. Sadly I only got the unit itself, no manuals or cables. What I need is a pinout of the rear card-edge connector and informations about what voltage it requires etc. If someone has a manual as pdf or any other electronic format it would be...

The REAL reason for record delays are... 1. ****ed off controllers going by the book (Time in trail) because FAA Management treats their controllers and employees like dog **** 2. Incompetent social engineered marble mouth talking black females "In chagge" who are clueless and incompetent 3....

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Islam is growing fast among African Americans, who are undeterred by increased scrutiny of Muslims in the United States since the September 11 attacks, according to imams and experts. Converts within the black community say they are attracted to the disciplines of prayer,...

Boeing and their home run called the 787 will bury Airbus soon. French Frogs in charge? What a joke Airbus Management reminds me at lot of FAA Management(hehe) PARIS - Airbus unions in France on Friday ordered a one-day

FAA "Diversity" Read close my white male heterosexual brothers If you are white and heterosexual you are no longer wanted in the "New but twisted" FAA Read close. Diversity is code for racism against whites Read close. If you are white and male be worried. America no

Hi Folks, Hope someone here can help. We have a helicopter that we want to be able to fly very accurately search patterns, like creeping line, expanding box etc. I cant find a GPS on the market that supports this natively, though in theory it wouldnt be hard to generate a GPX file with the...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know a way that you can generate a GPX file, put it on the data card and then insert it into the GPS? If not the KLN94, are there any units out there like this? Cheers -Al

I'm looking for a PDA program that will do wifi to allow duats flight plans to be filed where there is a wireless hotspot like an FBO. Probably would work thru DUATs. Should be heavily template driven so that I only have to fill in a few things. Bill Hale

The advice to climb is based on the idea that it's warmer above, which is an interesting theory. You could die getting up to where it's warmer. You should do an immediate 180 and get out of there. During your preflight wx brief, you need to have your radar turned on HIGH to any hint that there...

It's a problem in Bonanzas & Barons. Heated fuel vents are an option on some Barons. You can tell it's happening by noting the fuel gauges. They go UP! The bladder sucks up from the tank and deflects the outbound level sender when the vents are blocked. You need a plan to be on the ground.

I got my instrument rating at an accelerated school in California. Overall, I think my instruction went well, and I was very happy with the results. I passed my checkride in a Piper Lance, and had no troubles. There was one part though that never quite made sense to me. My instructor told me to...

Anyone know a vendor I can purchase DOD Flight Information Publication IFR Enroute charts from? Prefer online thanks! tired of updating my international Jepps

I was told by a co-worker that a new Part 91-mandatory compliance reg has come out, requiring all airplanes to meet a min. climb gradient of 2.5% for second stage climb gradient, unless published otherwise. In other words, if no specific gradient is published for XYZ airport, then the airplane must...

Where online can I find a list of countries meeting the WGS-84 GPS standards? Preferably from an "authoritative" source, such as FAA, AOPA, ALPA, NASA, etc, and not from Cousin Vinnies online website thanks BILL

I have a GTX327, and it has a squat switch which is used to switch from ground to air modes. Maybe your 330 has the same. You may not need the GPS connected to the 330... I am no expert, I am reading this out of the manual. By the way, I am interested in making a remote switch for...

Here's one for U all. 530s. Or as we learned in Melborne FL, home of the 27 Back Course LOC approach, all-y'all is the plural. When selecting VLOC mode, the thing behaves correctly on a BC approach... you set the ILS FRONT COURSE on the yellow arrow HSI course datum, and inbound on the BC, the...
