New intsrument rating PTS by
C J Campbell
There is just about a month before the new instrument rating PTS takes
effect on October 1. This is a major re-write with standards for GPS and
autopilot coupled approaches (now required if the aircraft is equipped),
guidelines for partial panel approaches in aircraft with glass cockpits,...

GPS for airport navigation by
John Bell
I think that GPS can be helpful for airport ground navigation and avoiding
runway incursions. For some reason, I never see this mentioned in any of
the material on runway incursion. It's not perfect, but if you have one in
the cockpit it might help you maintain situational awareness on the...

Pre-flight planning really is worth doing. by
Roy Smith
Yesterday, I did something I don't get to do much any more -- just
headed off on a trip with no particular purpose in mind other than it
was a nice day and I wanted to go flying. I looked at a chart and found
an airport I'd never been to before, Claremont NH, and off I went. I
did enough...

My static system had a leak by
Derrick Early
A little while ago I asked if the VSI, altimeter and airspeed instruments
should jump when closing the door. The answer is that they should not. We
had our static system tested and the mechanic found a leak. As a result, we
were getting cabin pressure for altitude our altitude readings. I...

2004 Instrument Procedures Handbook by
Gene Whitt
Y'all,
I had originally planned to post this on ras group but decided to go afield.
Found that this group is a haven for old friends. My new medical says that
I'm good for two more years and at 80 that's something to shoot for.
Got the FAA NEW "Instrument Procedures Handbook". FAA-H-8261-1 (2004)...

similarly named intercepts all in the same FIR by
Dan Jacobson
I see the Naha FIR (Okinawa) has intercepts BISIG, BISIS, and BIXAK.
Such similarly named intercepts all in the same FIR, while not on the
same airways, still seem rather risky. (But what do I know, haven't
been on a plane in 10 years, just listen to my scanner.)

IFR & SUA by
Larry Richardson
Ok, I just stepped up to a better plane with a certified GPS and am about
to go on a cross country (likely IFR).
The Direct path takes me across a couple of Restricted Airspace. Should I
plan to avoid or file direct and let ATC handle it with the clearance ?
Larry.

IFR to & from CLT - Delays and Fees to Expect by

I'm considering flying from ROA to CLT for a business meeting at the
airport itself next Tuesday -- arriving around noon and departing
around 16:00. I've not flown G/A to CLT before -- anyone able to
advise on the in/out delays (and fees) that I should expect? I'm
having a tough time justifying...

Last Monday (16 Aug 2004) I was on an IFR flight from Oakland, CA to Ogden,
UT.
About thirty minutes from Ogden, I heard Salt Lake Center call a Lifeguard
flight and clear him direct to (what sounded like) widow. The pilot asked
for spelling and Center said Whiskey, India, Delta, Oscar, Echo....

IAP through class G by
Gary Drescher
Why do some airports with an instrument approach (e.g. HIE) lack a surface
Class E to protect the approach? HIE LOC 10 has Class G below 700' AGL, but
the MDA is well below that height. A plane can legally fly VFR just below a
700' ceiling along the final approach course, with no way for it to see...

CBAV and Palmnet by
Maule Driver
So is CBAV Nexrad offline for good?
Seems like I saw something saying that Palmnet is gone at the end of August
but I can't verify.
Any info or links appreciated.
(Sorry if this has been discussed - I've been offline for 2 weeks and can't
seem to find any archive info)

where to ask question about approach? by
J Haggerty
I went to look up the procedures for this airport, and there are no
instrument procedures listed. KPJY = Pinckneyville-Du Quoin in IL?
You can ask for a procedure by going to this FAA website;

Garmin GNS-430 vs. CNX80 by

What's the latest thinking on the GNS-430 vs. the CNX80? I'm planning a

comparison in Aviation Consumer, but it would be interesting to hear from
some actual users on how they compare. It seems the general impression is

Is my static port leaking? by
Derrick Early
The plane does have an alternate static source vented inside; however, I
pushed the valve in to select the exterior port. My guess is that either
this is normal or the static pressure system has a leak.
