Hi everyone, We have a vacation planned in September to Ocracoke Island. We'll be departing from Spartanburg, SC (SPA). I have flown to Ocracoke once before but that was VFR from the north. Any idea what routing to expect when IFR from the west? Richard

Everyone, I haven't posted much here, but when I have, the responses have always been educational. Hopefully my checkride account might prove useful to someone else. Thanks for all the help. Cheers, TW

Ok, I am trying to brush off some of the rust and getting some recurrent training. The task was to plan a flight, KLOU-KLEX-KJVY. (Louisville,KY). So, I looked up the STAR Clegg2 ( http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/00697CLEGG.PDF), and the charts. Clegg2 *seems* to make the KLOU-KLEX simple- just...

Rule of thumb. So if you are burning 10 gallons an hour in a 180 hp engine, you are developing (10x12) = 120 hp. 120/180 = .67, so that is 67% power. It's not exact but gets you close.

Greetings, Would somebody be kind enough to answer a question from this first-time poster?

Hi, Reference IFR enroute L-1, panel C (64 south of SEA), MALAY intersection is defined by: The intersection of V23 and V287, each having an MEA of no higher than 6000; DME distances on each of the airways; and A cross-radial from the Astoria VOR, located ~55 NM west of the intersection.

ANy suggestions? Sporty's, ASA, King, or other? Would like something that TRAINS me...not neccasarily a brain dump.

Are you familiar with Skew-T diagrams? They show a continual track of temperature and dewpoint versus altitude as reflected by the RAOB balloon. Might be better than depending on rules of thumb. Just Google Skew-T and you will get plenty of links. Bob Gardner "Peter" wrote...

I just became the proud owner of an auction radio, a King KLN 89B GPS reciever only, sold without tray or antenna. I was curious about how interchangeable the trays are between the KLN models.. say.. is the connector on a KLN 88 loran tray physically compatible with the KLN 89 chassis (I will be...

This has been on the news lately, but I've been wondering why, since the FAA has been crying about budget constraints. But it just occurred to me that the real reason they want the address file correct is to collect user charges.

I've finally located the manuals at http://www.pilotmall.com/page/1/PROD/26/17390 Mary and I own (and LOVE) the AvMap EKP-IIIC, the predecessor to the EKP-IV. We played with the IV extensively at OSH this year, and I fell in love with it. It's smaller, thinner -- yet still has a BIGGER,...

Hello community, after downloading several *.pdf's from the Chelton side (being inspired by AOPA's Commander ;-) and browsing thru them, it seems that there are some features in this box that set it apart from the competition, e.g. terrain display, "higway-in-the-sky" pointers, etc. Are there any...
