A friend just asked me what code to file with his KNS-80 RNAV. I told him that I thought it was /I but that I usually filed /A with a KNS-80 because I didn't want ATC to surprise me with an RNAV approach or some kind of weird RNAV routing. (I don't use a KNS-80 often enough to be really...

Any of you use "No dips no Stars" in the remarks section of the flight plan? All comments appreciated, pro and con. Hank 172 driver

Does anyone know how long skywriting lasts before it gets blurry and fades away? Thank you.

i'm preparing for an airline checkride and would like suggestions for the most challenging approaches - preferably non-precision and usa. thanks.

What part of your butt did you pull that BS out of? Congress has nothing to do with the federal register. Bob Gardner wrote: An instrument approach is, in effect, an act of Congress. Although they do it through obscure references to Part 97, each approach must be published in...

I am looking for an instructor who would be willing to give me an IPC some weekday evening in the Phoenix area. I can fly out of DVT or CHD. Insurance requires 500 total time and 25 hours in type (Piper Archer). --Dan

I was looking and found this Garmin page http://www.garmin.com/support/commProtocol.html It seems to be the start of the answer to the question previously asked about transferring waypoints. FAQs

As we did last year, AeroFile is celebrating the Holiday Season (and my Birthday) with a sale of sorts. From December 1 to December 24, 2003, when you order copy of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" we will pay your shipping. What a great Holiday gift. We still have some...

Anyone know where to view ruling by the FAA's chief counsel? In particular, I'm looking for the one that that states "departure procedures" referred to in Far 91.129(g) are only those traffic pattern departure routes that the FAA sometimes establishes for a particular airport. As opposed to say...

I had filed a flight plan for 8pm local the other night. I tried amending the departure time as I was leaving 1.5 hours later than the proposed time. I called the FSS and was told the IFR flight plan gets deleted by the system 2 hours after the proposed departure time. I thought it was 45...

How can I find out where the FAA thinks MEPTE is? On the NOS IFR charts it's charted as in the water (or over it), but when I fly it, it's over land. I know the NOS charts are not all that accurate (for topography) but I'd like to know where it is, for a certification flight for our GPS. Any...

Once upon a time I used the pneumonic TIM'S ABCS to set up for an approach. I have forgotten what everything stands for (I believe it begins Tune, Identify, Markers...). Does anyone remember the rest? And do you know what book it's from? Thanks! Evan

Peter, I am wondering whether the European terrain database is any good. First, the nitpick ;-) It is not TAWS, but a terrain database. TAWS is something certified. Second: Both the units from Garmin (296 and up) and those from Lowrance (Airmap 600c and 2000c) come in a...

Contrary to what most of the non-technical idiots in FAA management think, facilities are important for Air Safety Systems to check for a dangerous weather condition were faulty at the time of Sunday's devastating air crash at Phuket airport, Thai officials say. Some of the airport's wind...

Garmin AT has made available their simulator for the GNS480. I don't know how long it's been there, but I just noticed it at: http://www.garmin.com/products/gns480/ It's a nice step upward from the older CNX80 simulator. ---JRC---
