I fly an SR22G2 with the Avidyne MFD. When I try to use the OBS mode on the Garmin 430 in VLOC mode it works fine -- the left knob on the MFD controls the OBS, it draws a nice purple line, and everything is hunky dory. But when I try to use OBS in GPS mode the MFD doesn't work. I can still...

I just wanted to inform Seattle area pilots about a new school that started in Renton Municipal Airport. We are AcuWings, a family owned business. The reason we started the school is because we felt the void in Renton Airport for an alternative outfit. We currently have a Piper Tomahawk that is a...

I see it alternatively defined as : "Lateral Precision with Vertical guidance" or "Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance"

U.S. Government Lays Groundwork for Talmudic Courts US government under Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton, has provided, under the euphemism of education (for example, House Joint Resolution 173 and Public Law 102-14), a groundwork for the establishment of Talmudic "courts of justice" to be...

Hello, I was wondering how the primary vacuum is powered in a single engined aircraft. If it was powered directly by the engine, a engine failure would result in the immediate loss of attitude indicator and heading indicator. So I guess most aircraft use an electrical pump that can be driven by...

OK. Why haven't I seen any discussion of the coolest thing I saw announced at Oshkosh? The eFlyBook from myairplane.com and ARINC. Given the current price/technology ratio, it seems like the perfect near-term solution to having electronic charts in a usable package. Did anyone play with one?...

Will a wideband aviation antenna, that receives across 50 MHz up to over 1000 Mhz, be useful for VHF and UHF TV reception as well as aviation frequency reception? Can such an antenna be used by multiple devices listening to different frequencies at the same time? -- Will westes AT...

Opinions please: Hailey Idaho, KSUN, daytime, ndb dme approach (circling only minima), map is 5.3 nm back from threshhold, minima are 8000 ft (2681) and 5 miles, with "fly visual to airport" annotation. 1. Since 5.3 nm is just over 6 sm, is this not contrary to the FAR's, in that you can fly...

I have flown into Rhode Island several times, and always file direct. However, as I begin to approach the area (about 150 mi out) ATC gives me ammended routing. My problem is that I am unfamiliar with the navaids/airways in that part of the country and it adds a lot of stress to the flight trying...

I got a good friend who works for the FAA at a major airport. He told me the experienced controllers and technicians are retiring and leaving by the dozens and the only thing they are hiring are black females and people who are basically unqualified and stupid. Now that's scary. I never thought the...
