RNAV vs IFR GPS by
PaulaJay1
Coming into CLE the other day the controller ask if I had RNAV and I said no,
that I was /G ,that is, IFR GPS. He said that it was the same and gave me
direct.....
Is it the same, should I have answered yes to his question? Of course I can
navigate direct but do I have "RNAV"?

CAT II Minimums on a CAT I Approach by
Giwi
I've heard that some pilots have the authority to descend to CAT II
minimums (RA100) on CAT I intstrument approaches. If this is true,
then how is the CAT I approach altered? Is the DH simply lowered?
Seems like this would result in steeper approach angles to make it
work out right. Alternately...

Safety pilot in and out of IMC by
Paul Tomblin
I want to go fly some approaches (and a hold) on Sunday. I know from
experience that it's likely that the ceilings will be too high to do any
meaningful approaches in IMC, but high enough that I might be in IMC
during the vectors to the approach or at the hold. I figured I could take
along a...

Outer Marker by
Barry
When doing an ILS approach, with the glideslope, is it a requirement to be
able to identify the outer marker or a substitute? FAR 91.175(k) lists the
outer marker as one of the "basic ground components" and gives the acceptable
substitutes, but doesn't explicitly say that it's required. The AIM...

First Time in IMC and vacuum problem by
Jon Kraus
I too had my first experience in IMC yesterday. I got my ticket last
summer too and have kept current but haven't had a chance to go solo. I
was going to go from Indianapolis Executive (TYQ) to Capitol City in
Lansing Michigan (LAN). The weather was 1000 OVR until 50 miles north of
TYQ and then it...

Radio license required? by
Marty Ross
When I first learned the memory aid for required documents, it was "ARROW".
When I inquired why sometimes I saw "AROW", I remember being told that the
second "R" was dropped because while flying within the USA you don't need
the "Radio License".
I glanced through the FAR/AIM and couldn't quickly...

so far), and want to use MSFS to practice (cheaply). I do fine with
holding a heading, but I find it very difficult to maintain an
altitude. The...

Whistle for your frequency? by
-b-
Thumbing through a 1962 FLYING magazine, I came across an advertisement
for the all-new Motorola M-400 NAV/COM. Among other quaint features,
such as the 100KHz spacing, later upgradeable to 50KHz, and the COM
transmit frequency that automatically switches to 122.1 any time you
select a NAV...

Garmin530 and MX20 by

In an article at http://avionicswest.com/archive/shootout.htm#2003 about

combination of a Garmin 530 AND an MX20. I do not understand. Isn't
the Garmin 530 also an MFD capable of displaying multiple inputs, like

ADF Problem by
tony roberts
Hi
Today I was flying north and my ADF was tuned to an NDB.
The needle pointed at 330 degrees (or 11 O'clock) until I reached the
NDB, and then it swung until it pointed behind.
I dialed up the next NDB and it pointed at 330 again until passage.
And I dialed up another NDB - same indication - all...

Aspen at night by
Ron Garret
All the approach plates for Aspen are marked "Procedure not authorized
at night" (presumably a result of the G4 crash a few years back). And
yet there are commercial flights scheduled to land as Aspen at night.
How do they do it?
