Northstar M3 & PC connection by
[email protected]
Has anyone interfaced an M3 with a PC?
I have a Motion LS-800 running Jeppview Flitedeck. I had succefully
interfaced it with my previous aircraft that had a Trimble 2000
Approach. Trimble uses RS-232 w/ King aviation data format for its
moving map output. I used an USB RS-232 coverter and...

Full flap ILS by
[email protected]
I flew safety for a friend in his Bonanza A36 w/ IO-550 yesterday. He
hand flew a perfect ILS, but it was with full flap and gears down at
around 22 in power. In my E35 Bonanza with E225 engine and low flap
and gear speeds, I almost always fly ILS with flap up, gears down at
around 17 in power. ...

KLN-90B by
[email protected]
I am considering KLN-90B as replacement for my M-3 Approach. Question
for experienced KLN-90B users: Legality aside, can you operate
KLN-90B in approach mode (doing GPS approaches) with an outdated
database?
Thanks in advance,
Robin Hou

Clear to intercept localizer by
[email protected]
I want out to play last week. I requested clearance from EMT to RAL
for ILS to rwy 9. Shortly after I was level at 4000, I was cleared to
intercept localizer. As I tracked localizer, the glideslope started
down and I started down with it. At 3,700, ATC called to ask me to
remain 4000. I...

Any inside story re 430/530 WAAS cert.? by
[email protected]
This is from AvionicsWest:
"WAAS for the GNS430/530 is now postponed until sometime in 2006. I
don't "think" the problem is really a WAAS issue. You see,
Garmin plans on making the 430/530 comply with TSO 146 just as the
GNS480. TSO 146 requires an update rate of 5hz verses 1hz as the
product...

JeppView/FliteDeck, I got it to work in my plane today! by
[email protected]
In an earlier subject, Jeppview vs. paper Jepp Plates, I was waiting
for my touch screen to arrive so I can use it to display
JeppView/FliteDeck moving map. Anyways, it arrived on last Tuesday,
and I went to airport to hook it up, and took it for a ride. And it
works! It is very sun light...

Lightspeed with Foggles question by
Rod Madsen
I just bought the Hood Lamb and had to send them back. They simply would
not clamp to my David Clark H10-13.4 which have a narrower than usual band.
To their credit, they acknowledge this problem with DC's and suggest
friction tape to increase the girth of the band. Didn't work...to
rinky-dink...

Speaking of interference (BPL) by
Roger Halstead
I don't know how many are aware of the current push to implement
Broadband Power Line (BPL) high speed internet connections, but is has
some interesting ramifications.
Perhaps Jim has looked into this.
BPL as I understand it caused a good deal of interference from a bit

Another difference between the US and Canada. by
Roger Halstead
I had a friend ask me today how I'd cancel a flight plane that I had
never activated.
I gave the usual answer...If I never activated it, I don't need to
cancel it. If I haven't activated it past the closing time it gets
dropped. Canceling one that has been activated and flown is
*usually* not a...

Primus 1000 FMS brain damage by
Ron Garret
Today I departed out of RIL as a passenger on a Citation V Ultra being
flown under Part 135. Despite the winds and terrain favoring a
departure from runway 26, we departed runway 8. One of the consequences
of this was that we needed a 5500 foot ceiling, which we darn near
didn't get and we...

Airport lat/lon database by

Anyone know where I can find a list of US airports and their lat/lon
positions? I know about the airnav site, but that only lets me get one
at a time. I need a list that I can feed into a database. (I only need
US airports with instrument approach procedures.)
Thanks,

Is XM weather worthwhile? by

My SR22 partners want to install XM weather to the tune of about $10k.
I'm not convinced it's worthwhile. The plane is based in Southern
California where we don't tend to get the kind of squirrelly weather
they get east of the Mississippi. In the summer we'll get isolated
thunderstorms over the...

IFR currency rules are perverse by

The clouds rolled in to SoCal last week so I wanted to go fly some

couldn't go. It occurred to me that one can easily get into a situation
where you can have quite a bit of recent IFR experience but still not be
current. The...
