Another Canadian difference? by Paul Tomblin
I know that in Canada, when you're cleared for the approach, you can start descending to the MSA. But today while being vectored for the LOC/DME RWY 12 at Oshawa, I was told "turn 030 for the base leg", and then I almost immediately blew right through the localizer. Was I supposed to take that as...

16th runway safety lapse at Logan since October 2004 by NotPoliticallyCorrect
BOSTON — A jet was forced to abort its takeoff when another plane crossed onto its runway, the second such incident in just over a week at Logan International Airport. The American Airlines jet was moving into position for takeoff when an American Eagle regional jet that had just landed crossed the...

Question about Approach Plates by Russ MacDonald
One of my students asked me a question the other day that I have been unable to answer. Many instrument approaches are labeled with a letter following the primary name and the letter indicates that the final approach course is not lined up (beyond 30 degrees) with any runway, and that a circling...

Stupid question: water in fuel by Scott Moore
Yes, this is a stupid question, and somewhat off topic for IFR. But I get better answers here than elsewhere. Question: Why is it that devices to separate water from fuel are quite common cars (my F-350 truck has one), but such a device, which could save lives in an airplane, is not offered for...

Transponder by Tom Cummings
My King KT-76A transponder has a stuck "Ident" button. It stuck when activated for ATC on the last flight and the button appears to have colapsed sideways underneath the cover panel. It is no longer visible in the opening now. ATC says the unit indicates an "Indent" signal presently. Does this...

No plan survives contact with the enemy... by Paul Tomblin
When I was in the Army, we always said "no plan survives contact with the enemy". My new mantra is "no flight plan survives contact with Toronto Terminal". I've flown from various places on the east side of Toronto (Oshawa, Buttonville, City Center) to Rochester NY about 10-15 times, almost...

First approach to minimums by Steven Barnes
I played hooky today from work & went flying in our club's 172. Flew a GPS approach into Litchfield, IL (3LF) down to the minimums. Finally saw the runway about 1.3 miles out. Very cool. Got about 1.1 total today. Wheee! --

Full deflection = missed approach ??? by pgbnh
It is common wisdom, and often common sense, that if a full deflection of a CDI (or GS) is experienced, a missed approach is to be flown. But a lot of people seem to think that it is REQUIRED. I have had a CFII tell me it is required. But I can not find anything in FAR or AIM that states such...

question about instrument proficiency check by Sylvain
Until recently I was convinced that only a CFII could conduct an instrument proficiency check (as opposed to a plain CFI), but now I am confused: 14 CFR 61.195(c) says that an instructor must have an instrument rating on *both* his pilot and instructor certificates, i.e., be a CFII, in order...

LNAV preferable over LNAV/VNAV by [email protected]
Take a look at the Mobile Alabama KMOB rnav Rwy 14, should be available here http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/00267R14.PDF I notice that lnav/vnav minimums are 660 feet while lnav minimums are 620 feet. My question is, if someone has lnav/vnav authorization, why wouldn't they...

Airport lat/lon database by Ron Garret
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, rg

VFR on top by Nick Kliewer
In my understanding, the pilot is responsible for VFR separation from clouds while operating "VFR on top." To what extent (and what would be the best way to go about) to deviate heading to avoid clouds?

It actually happened today!! Vacuum failure in IMC. by skym
Departed Asheville NC today into IMC enroute to Columbia SC. Well into IMC and about 6500 MSL the DG started to slowly just start rotating and the AI started to lean over. Backup vacuum-no help. I couldn't believe this was happening in IMC; I only fly it about 5% of the time. Columbia was just a...

Warning, Missing GPS airport data in cycle 0510 by John Clonts
FYI. I noticed that some airports are not showing up in the "nearest airport" list on my King KLN-94. Then I noticed that it didn't show on the map page either. But if I go to the airport page and explicitly key in the identifier, it does show the airport information. E.g. KMKN I corresponded...

KAP 140 autopilot approach by Yossarian
I'm trying to figure out the right way to use the AP for an ILS. The manual isn't clear on this situation. Assume that I have a vector to intercept the localizer and have been cleared for the approach. Let's say that the intercept angle is less than 45 degrees. I'm starting in HDG & ALT hold...

Boredom at the FSS by vincent p. norris
On Sat, 08 Oct 2005 13:44:42 GMT, Matt Whiting Yes, I would think that responding, even to a false alarm, would be a lot more fun than sitting and playing cards all day. Sometimes when I phone the FSS for a wx briefing, I get a long-winded description and analysis of the wx...

Why are non precision approaches not lined up? by Greg Farris
The title just about says it - I've always wondered WHY many non-precision approaches (not talking about LOC only here, but VOR, VOR/DME, NDB etc) are not lined up with the runway heading. Sometimes it looks as though the approach desginers have gone out of their way to make sure the non-precision...
