currency by Rick McPherson
Hello All, I've been lurking in the shadows of this group for the duration of my ifr training and subsequent passage of my ride. Thanks to all of you for the great info. Now, my question is about maintaining currency, the Regs state:"No person may act as pilot in command under IFR or in weather...

Terrain-Aware Handheld vs. IFR GPS? by C Kingsbury
OK, here's a new take on an old debate: I fly a 172 with 2 good NAV/COMs, an M1 Loran and a flaky ADF in the Northeast US. Since everything up here is airways and most of the fields I go to have an ILS or LOC approach, this is enough to get away with on most of the flights I take. This is the...

HVN VOR-A -- why such a high MDA? by Roy Smith
The VOR-A at New Haven (http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/00671VG2.PDF) has an MDA of 720, which is about 300 feet higher than the towers in the area. The VOR-2 (http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/00671VG2.PDF) gets you down to 380, and has to deal with the same...

Proposal: use OT (off topic) by Scott Moore
Please I would like to propose: Off topic posters please include OT at the front of your message. Some of us want to talk about IFR here, since, after all, that is the subject of the group. And I would like to filter out the off topic posts. Please. If you respect this group.

Oral Exam Prep -- recommendations and recollections by Nicholas Kliewer
I have bought (and been studying) the ASA "Instrument Oral Exam Guide" by Hayes. Can somebody recommend another one? Also, what questions do you remember being asked on your oral exam? Thanks y'all! Reading this group has been a real blessing. I am learning a lot!

GPS Handheld by Kai Glaesner
Hello, I, have a question about using a handheld GPS as a backup/situational awareness tool during IFR flight: is there a handheld on the market that has (apart from nav aids and intersections) any IFR-related navigational infomation (routes, SID's, STAR's) in it's database? Thanks in advance for...

VFR to IFR Cost for KLN 89B by Skip Guimond
I recently purchased an aircraft with a KLN 89B installed with VFR restrictions. Can anyone give me a "guesstimate" on the cost of adding the necessary equipment and labor to have the unit certified for IFR flight? Thanks-- Skip Guimond

Clarification of the KMTV GPS-30/LOC-30 Approaches?? by Icebound
A couple of clarifications, please, for the IFR-challenged... 1. Is there a good reason for the holding point for the GPS approach to 30, to be back 11.8 miles back from the holding point for the LOC approach? They have established UBWAY right at the marker, so why do they not let the GPS...

new instrument PTS by [email protected]
Is there an examiner on board that can summarize the significant changes in the new PTS? For example, is the GPS required to be turned off during one of the approaches?

clearance delivery question by PaulH
If I file an IFR flight plan 2 hours in advance from departure from a towered airport and then leave really early or really late: 1. Is the FP normally available to my local tower about half an hour after filing? 2. How long does it remain in the "system" if I get delayed?

Obstacle Clearance Altitude / Height by Tim
Hi, Could anyone give me a good explanation for OCA/OCH. I know it has something to do with the minimums of ILS-approaches and it should always be lower than or equal to the DA/DH. I assume it provides you with a certain obstacle clearance at DA/DH. But how is it determined???? Best regards,

What is the deal with tapes? by Dave Jacobowitz
Okay, I've been watching the transition to glass cockpits in GA aircraft. Clearly, the cost savings and simplification that comes from integration is neat, and the reliability of an all-electrical system is (probably) going to mean more safety for all of us. But one thing bugs me -- the tapes. I...

to HSI or not to HSI by Dave Butler
Please excuse the hijacking of this religious/political forum to raise a question about flying. My partners and I are faced with a decision. What would you do? We plan to update our outdated panel with a GNS480. The CDIs currently installed are not compatible with the GNS480, so one of them will...
