Huck
Hey guys,
I am a fim believer in the edm 700 I have used it in about 4 airplanes
(182 210 421 barron) I find it easy to use and highly reliable. I wish

Iain Wilson

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...

Can GPS be *too* accurate? Do I need some XTE?? by
Icebound

track passing him by at 6500 or...

Revisiting lapse rates (From: How high is that cloud?) by
Icebound
I have been following the thread about "How high is that cloud", and quite a
few of the posters seems to have some misconceptions about lapse rate.
Some of you, especially, are comparing apples and oranges:
The *environmental lapse rate* is a measurement of the real atmosphere. The
