JFK gave Barbara Pierce a lesson in life in the summer of 1944 (making her a "Cape Cod heiress"), and to her eventual husband, JFK gave a personal motive for revenge. Perhaps if George and Barb had announced their earlier engagement or even if George had given Barb a diamond instead of a cheap...

Filed and flew IFR flight plan from CNC3 to CNY3. Checked the notams that the NAVCANADA website called up for the route and everything seemed fine. Checked with FSS - no additional notams Only once up in the air did ATC advise me of a NOTAM indicating VOR YEE U/S. The problem is that without an...

The new CAP 4 (IFR approaches in Ontario) is out and I've noticed a few name changes from Oct 30 onwards: The NDB at Hamilton (CYHM) has changed name from Bravo to Binbrook (ZHM). The NDB at Kitchener / Waterloo (CYKF) has changed name from Kilo to Wellington (ZKF). The NDB at London (CYXU) has...

So I'm this close -- -- to finishing my IFR training (35 hours hood time, 10 hours simulator, written passed), but for the last 6 weeks have been frustrated by cancellations due to an early, wet California winter. So I am considering taking my plane to Arizona to finish up. Google turned up a...

So here's a question I had never thought of until getting my instrument rating and owning an IFR-equipped aircraft: how long should records of VOR checks be retained? Do they need to be retained at all? Can the FAA come to me and ask, "Remember that IFR flight to SLO you made 2 years ago? Show...

I have been very please with the Honeywell (B-K) website and the downloads. Any questions are always answered. There are two sign in and you have to be sure you are selecting the correct one. There is a Honeywell sign in and an B-K sign in. Be sure you are applying your sign in to the correct...

I need help. Jepp charts sometimes uses the word (Conditional) on their charts. For instance, Hot Springs, AR (KHOT) ILS Rwy 5, under the ILS DA(H) is the (Conditional) word. The government chart does not have this. What does it mean? I cannot find the definition in the Jepp introduction. It is...

Did anyone happen to catch this? It is certainly worth writing to both CBS and your congressman. sorry if i'm off topic. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=139faa40-aa30-4cd2-a8bb-44 d7156e949b&

I'm visiting some cousins and I'm looking for anyone who has done a similar cross country. Dallas--Apple Valley, CA was a South route trip for me. Anyone have any routing suggestions? thanks in advance.

I, too, have had a variety of good and bad. One time I did have a particularly bad experience and immediately requested a supervisor. I took my briefing from the supervisor and asked for the mailing address to file a complaint. I might be dreaming but I did get a written response from...

Shucks, I thought we were talking about aviation.ifr

I have a question regarding the rings shown on some charts and not others. They are a dashed ring and are labeled "FEEDER FACILITIES" and/or "ENROUTE FACILITIES". The may not be on all charts nor both on the same chart. For example http://naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0801/06000LD15.PDF. I tried the...

I have a question regarding the ILS or LOC RWY 5L. I have never seen the QUICK FIX MINIMUMS. What does that mean? Thanks Ross

Is it legal for a non-instrument rated pilot to file IFR in his own name in order to undergo instrument training while accompanied by his CFII ? In other words. Who should file IFR for a training instrument flight ? The student or the CFII ? Thanks for input -- Roy

I have started another thread to get a consensus of opinion about what navigation equipment I will be allowed to use on my instrument check ride. Recently I installed in the Archer a complete new Garmin left stack including the GNS530. I kept one of the old KX170B's and its glideslope indicator...

Sirius is making headway in merging with XM Radio. No one seemed to be asking at the Anti Trust hearing whether or not Sirius will continue to maintain the XM aviation weather services. Or if they do, at what cost to the users ? I would imagine that this will be another User Fee that is going to...

I am heading for Sun 'n Fun from Ohio in April and will file IFR over 3 flight legs. This will be my first flight heading South under instrument rules.. My heading will change from West of South to East of South several times during each leg of this flight. The question is do I file for even or...

I am just getting familiar with our new Garmin GNS 530. Where can I find details of the settings in "Maintenance Mode" ? I am wishing to change the operation of the Display and Keys settings. Thanks for all input -- Roy Piper Archer N5804F
