Has anyone managed to figgure out a fix for this dog? In order to get a GPS card programmed using the Jeppesen Skybondage adapter, I have to restart the application over and over, it is continually deciding that the card in the unit has 0 (zero) memory. It even tests green using the applications...

Keep in mind I tried out my new 430W install for the first time today. I tried a few sample approaches, really outstanding. The 430W makes you want to try full (not vectored) approaches because it essentially automates everything. It will hold on the approach hold, start the approach on its own...

http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2007/070522debate.html Is a good read (and a video) on a debate between Phil Boyer and Bob May of the airlines. It occurred to me after viewing the video that Mr. May is honestly stating what the airlines want, which is to make sure that any light jet taxi...

Mode-S/TIS transponders cost more, turns out, they cost substantially more to certify for IFR as well. I'm beginning to come around to the viewpoint of those here who say that any modernization that comes from the FAA will usually be a costly waste of time. The FAA is abandoning TIS slowly, and...

Interesting call today. I talked to S-TEC/Meggit. I am doing my annual and wanted to cure a longstanding issue with my S-TEC 30 autopilot. The issue was that when dimming the unit down, when you turn the potentiometer below a certain value, the light on the S-tec 30 goes to full bright. The S-tec...

Howdy all, Got into a discussion of the strangest and/or most difficult instrument approach procedures with some friends recently. One guy used the GUC ILS RWY6 as an example (rules: you do NOT have GPS, are /A direct HBU from the NE, and CANNOT be vectored to the LOC due to radar coverage,...

Hi All, I am a European pilot, I have a current European JV 3 subscription but also have an old JV3 installation which is worldwide. This installation requires a new coverage key for each month's CD (the Euro-only version doesn't) and I haven't been able to get my hands on a key since Jan 2006. I...

Why is it bad flight planning to use an intersection for your initial fix on your IFR flight? My plan has two NAVs and an IFR GPS. So I have at least 3 ways to identify the intersection granted doing it with one NAV is painful during departure but it could be done. I curious to hear people...

Does a dual check of the VORs for use in instrument flight only count if it has been done while in flight? Or if you do it on the ground (document it) is that meet the FARs? We had a fairly heated hanger discussion about this and I would like to hear some more opinions. Scott --

I decide to take the plane and really go on a long XC flight, well beyond the definitions in the FARs, with my wife for a little R&R. This would be my longest flight to date and even surpassed what I did for my commercial long XC a couple of months ago. The totals we One way distance =...

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 reasons that I am aware of, maybe pics at a distance could give me a look at what I am searching...
