Is anyone else growing as weary of the cutesy aviation term "steam guages" as I am? Or is it only me...?

We will be going to Minneapolis next week in a Skylane. Our destination is about four miles South of MSP; a lot closer than SGS (which seems to be the next closest airport). Will the "big iron" operations at MSP make its apparent time advantage over SGS moot?

I need help. Garmin finally send the CDROM "in flight Demo" I put it into my HP CD Writer plus and it will not run. If I go to MY Computer and click on drive E it says the drive is not ready. Other CDROMs work fine, Any comments. Hank

I'm presuming flying IFR in light snow in a Skylane RG with no deice equipment other that the pitot heat is OK if the temp is low enough to preclude sticking, perhaps -10c or less. This comes up as I contemplate flying to Minneapolis early next week. Just is case there could be other opinions...

I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service. What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts? Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas? Are all the same airports listed? Thanks

In a recent flight, I received the handoff, "27D change to Chicago Center on xxx.xx" Next call, "Chicago Center, Arrow 27D, 3000" Response: "Arrow 27D, this is not Chicago Center, this is Chicago Approach". Me "Arrow 27D, correction noted" Is this an issue of sufficient importance to waste the...

I would like to print and laminate a cheat sheet or cue card that described the generic format for a METAR and decoded the abbreviations. It would be helpful to have it in a small clear format so that when I needed the information I would pull it out of the map pocket for review. Has anyone...

Took & passed my checkride (first try) yesterday. Here's the extended narrative. Paragraphs enclosed in are explanatory for the non-aviators who will recieve this. My ride was scheduled for 1PM at MWC. I'd been asked in advance to plan a cross-country IFR flight of at least 200nm; I chose...

I took a short XC today after a layoff of a few months due to real life constraints and weather. I filed IFR even though it was VFR because I wanted to get back into the groove of communicating with ATC. I filed for 5000 going east. On the ground, they told me it would be faster if I took off VFR...

Yet another GPS substitution question... It's a given that you can't use GPS to shoot an approach labled "ADF blah" unless it says "ADF or GPS blah", but how do the alternate rules really work? The regs say that I have to have an approach that I'm equipped for other than GPS at the alternate...

I just returned on a flight from San Juan to Orlando and our flight level was 300, including a portion over the mainland. Since then I've been listening to my aircraft radio and routinely hear flights assigned FL320, 340, etc.. It was always 2000 feet separation with levels 290, 310, 330, 350,...
