It's been discussed here before. They are both good but slightly different. I prefer IFR, and its got more pages. "BoDEAN" wrote in message ... Anyone have a preference to which is better to subscribe to?

How much protection do we have on an off-field VOR approach? I was always under the impression that as long as the equipment was within tolerances for an airborne VOR receiver check (+/- 6 degrees) and the approach was flown to PTS tolerances (no more than 3/4 scale deflection) it was impossible...

An enlightening experience first of all. I figured since I had just got the second 'I' on CFII, and since I have given plenty of regular dual to Private students, I wouldn't have too much of a problem. The guy I flew with is working on a phase of the WINGS program and wanted several hours of hood...

Anyone has any real world experience using Control Vision's Pocket Plates? Does the geo-refenced function work as advertised? Robin

Finally! I've wanted to add an Editorial page to The $100 Hamburger website since we started it in 1996. After eight years four books and several reprinting of "The $100 Hamburger" book, I've found the time to do it. In additon to our views, there is a Letters to the Editor section. I truly hope...

Anyone experiencing problems with this? Aside from the ADIZ and TFR crap. I filed an IFR from LVK to SAC yesterday via duats and the clearance never came available. The tower told me that only about half of the flight plans filed via DUATS come up. I found it strange. Back in 1999 when I was flying...

Hi All, I tried plugging through the google newsgroups, with no luck. I am currently a instrument *student*, doing my Multi-IFR stuff. I'm Canadian, and some of this stuff isn't really covered in any of our regulations or material from what I can see (unless im missing something), and its a more...

When I go to the calibration page of On Top v. 8.0 I don't see a red or green dot, but my joystick IS selected under the Flight Controls section and it works ok in the Control Panel Gaming section of Win 98. I therefore know the joystick is working, but something in the On Top program seems to be...

Does a CFII have to be instrument current to give instrument instruction in VFR conditions? Just curious...and I don't have a set-O-regs handy at the moment otherwise I'd get off my lazy butt and look it up. Thanks... -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or...

A complete handbook for flying IFR in the US as it was thirty years ago. Very good condition, complete, cover shows a bit of wear, 146 pages. http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y104621F6

I am willing to trade a 3 Bedroom 1 Bath House on large 43,500 SQFT lot (60sqft less than an acre) About 1/4 Mile From D49 Airport, In Columbus, ND & A 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic Motorcycle 376 miles still under factory warranty. Airplane must be a complete production type aircraft, IFR A...

When filling IFR, there are two boxes you put numbers in, AIRSPEED and TIME ENROUTE. These go back to the old days, but are still applicable today. AIRSPEED, as the name implies, tells ATC how fast your airplane is going through the air. TIME ENROUTE tells ATC when to expect you at your...

Kershner's "The Advanced Pilot's Flight Manual" has the following definition for Va. Va - The maneuvering speed. This is the maxiumu speed at a particular weight at which the controls may be fully deflected without overstressing the airplane. Now, Va is commonly taught as turbulent air...

The Dutchess Four Departure has lost comm instructions which read, "If radio contact is not established/lost for more than two minutes after departing, proceed on course and climb to 5000 feet. Ten minutes after departure, climb to requested altitude/flight level". Let's say my clearance is...

If you have one, please email me at: dossdev_at_earthlink_dot_net Thanks, Dan

This is somewhat related to the optimal altitudes question, but I thought I would start a new thread here... What are the typical cloud tops at for winter flying--if there is any such thing as typical. I would venture to guess that tops are below 10,000 ft 80% of the time. I am talking here...

I am planning a long cross country where I am trying to minmiize the time the trip will take (while, of course, trying to be as safe as possible). The shortest route would take me straight over the top of Detroit and Clevland and Pittsburg (I am flying from Central Wisconsin to Washington D.C. to...

Does anybody have a prefered mobile website for weather info ? (a free one, I'm really cheap;) ) SK

When planning a flight against the wind, how to you pick the best altitude when trying to minimize flight time? If I read my performance charts correctly, my aircraft (Piper Turbo Arrow III -- service ceiling 20,000 ft) seems to gain about 2 nts of *true* airspeed for every 1000 feet you go up. ...
