chart geeks and old time central pennsylvanians by
Ron Natalie
Ok, here's something I noticed running up to State College
yesterday. about 20 miles south of State College there's
a class E transition area with no airport in the middle of
it (there's Stottle Mem 02P, I think that's a hospital
helipad on the edge of it, but I don't think that's the
reason for...

KAUG Notam Question by
Ron Rosenfeld
KAUG AUGUSTA STATE
04/001 - WAAS LPV WAAS LNAV/VNAV OTS WIE UNTIL UFN
This Notam has been posted, well, since April.
No one seems to be sure of what it means.
Translating the abbreviations into English is easy enough. The Notam
basically states that the LPV and LNAV/VNAV approaches are out of...

NDB or GPS Rwy 33 EPM by
Ron Rosenfeld
This approach is marked radar required, and there is no charted feeder
route to the IAF. So one approaches via a random route under radar.
ATC will not issue an approach clearance until within 15 miles of the NDB.
In the past I was told this was due to their need to ensure the a/c was
within the...

Pease 2 Departure at KPSM by
Ron Rosenfeld
What is the reason for the Obstacle (Jepp) or Note (NACO) for Rwy 34 about
crossing the threshold at or above 10' AGL.
Is it for certain heavily loaded military a/c?
Under what sort of circumstances would it come into play?
Or is there something else I'm missing here?

Canadian Charts by

Is there an online source for Canadian IAP charts like there is for the
NACO one's? (i.e. -- free or nearly so)
Thanks.

ADF in Europe by
Ron Rosenfeld
Are ADF's required outside of the United States?
I had a demo flight in a new Mooney Ovation2GX the other day. Quite a nice
airplane, by the way. Afterwards, looking at the price list, I noted an
ADF add-on for the Garmin G1000 panel as $15,500 (it's a Becker ADF, for
those who are interested;...

Strategy for icing due to freezing rain by

Now, the question is about freezing rain.
Speaking to instructors/examiners, the FAA oral/written position seems
to be that since there must be warmer air above, one should CLIMB.
That is not always the case.

Non-Reciprocal LOC & BC by
Ron Rosenfeld
This was from another group.
At KBOI, until the current release, the approach charts showed, for the
ILS10R and LOC BC 28L approaches magnetic courses of 100° and 278°
respectively.
The JEPP charts were changed with the current release; but the NACO charts
probably still show...

Any opinions on the Garmin GNS 480 ! ! ! by
RonLee
I am thinking seriously about getting the GNS480 and need opinions to
(try and) change my mind. The GNS 430 is nice but the 480 has more
features that I like. Anybody using one and making approaches? With
autopilot? with GPSS? Does GPS altitude REALLY work?

Anyone had fuel tank air vent icing up? by
Ronnie
Years back, a local flight school had a Trinidad TB-20. The
owner of the flight school told me this story. A rental pilot
called him up during a flight and stated that his wings were collapsing.
The advice was to get the airplane on the ground as quickly as possible.
The cause was blockage of the...

I have a couple of instrument students that are having

debriefing and review would be a value learning tool.

What approaches are in a database? by
Ross
A few days ago I had a last minute change of destination and didn't check
the database (KLN 89B) of the rental A/C for the approaches at Waterloo
(CYKF) prior to departure. To my surprise, the db only had 1 approach (VOR)
for the airport against the 4 published approaches (VOR, NDB, LOC(BC)...
