For IFR practice, in the situation where both pilots are logging PIC, one as sole manipulator, the other as acting PIC, can both pilots log cross-country (assuming the flight meets the length requirements) for the purpose of meeting the requirements for the Instrument Rating?

The LOC-D approach for SAN DIEGO/GILLESPIE FIELD (SEE) shows different minimums for "GRIGG FM". There is an ident code shown for GRIGG, but no frequency. Is the dot-dash-dot ident just the generic MM ident? I can't find "GRIGG" listed as an airspace fix at airnav.com. Are the higher minimums to be...

Assuming VMC conditions, is it legal for a current IR pilot to file an IFR flight plan, and fly the flight *solo* wearing a hood, to meet currency requirements? Of course the hood would be off for take-off and upon completing an approach with a landing. Not that it's the safest or smartest way to...

I was at the Northwest EAA fly In this weekend and attended the Garmin forum. The Garmin Rep.... if I understood him correctly? stated the New 400/500 unit would contain a new 12 channel GPS reciever, refurred to as the "GPS engine" (faster for WAS) and new faster processor too. I thought? I heard...

A friend of mine and I (from the San Francisco Bay area) are planning a cross country trip in Sept '04 spanning the Labor Day weekend. We plan to take 9-10 days, weather permitting, going all the way to New York/Boston and back in a single engine Cessna 182. We are looking for a 3rd pilot...

I am new to this group, because I recently went through an IFR course. I do have a question. There is an airport close to here called Orlando Sanford (SFB). It has two approaches called NDB-B and NDB-C. Both are similar but they approach the airport from west and east, respectively. Let's...

Someone in another forum said that it's okay to substitute certified GPS for DME or ADF on an approach plate that depicts FAFs or intersecting points using DME or ADF. I asked that person to back it up with a reference from an official document like the FARs, AIM or something that the FAA puts...

Does anyone know why the Mansfield OH MFD ILS RWY 32 approach plate has ADF or Radar Required written on it? There is speculation on another forum that ADF is required to establish the FAF for the localizer approach, but I argued that it is not required for the ILS approach, since intercept of the...

Hello, I'm relatively new to IFR (got the rating in Jan.) and also have never flown into the Arizona area. I'll be flying from the San Diego area into Chandler (CHD) and I want to do the flight IFR. I have some questions: 1. Does ATC normally route you to CHD using one of the PHX STARs? I did...

Tower Enroute Control has me confused. What does the Tower have to do with? It appears to be flight plans that use TRACONS or RAPCONS for radar services rather than going to the center. So why is it called Tower Enroute Control? In Boston Approach isn't even in the same state as the BOS...

On August 28th, Hawker biz jet and a glider collided south of Reno, Nevada at 16,000 feet. Fortunately, everyone survived. The Hawker was IFR and flying a STAR into KRNO. Following is an excerpt from the NTSB's preliminary report (LAX06FA277A): "The glider was equipped with a panel mounted...

FAA Order 8260.19C, "Flight Procedures and Airspace," Paragraph 852(d) (1): (1) Fix altitudes established on ILS for LOC-only use should be coincident with the glide slope when possible. Where the fix altitude is not within feet of the glide slope, annotate it for LOC use as follows: MIN ALT...

Any LOC Only notes anyone finds on an NACO ILS chart where the G/S altitude is the same, please post them here. The one who posts the most gets a no-host, no expenses paid, trip to OKC to tour the approach procedure factory.
