Yesterday, I stopped by a small VFR airport in western NY state and struck up a conversation with a few locals. During the interesting aviation chat I learned that the FAA had been to their airport a year or so ago performing a survey that would hopefully result in a GPS approach. On average, how...

Y'all, I have been flying in an aircraft where ATC has occasionally mentioned that there is a 3-4 hundred discrepancy betwee our communicated altitudes and that of our blind encoder. We have acknowledged the difference. The altimeters were certified some 300 miles away only three months ago. ATC...

We talked for about 2 hours with most of...

I think I just got my money's worth of the Beech Proficient Pilot Program. (BPPP) Last week, 3 of us where trying to get to Kissimmee from TN but Florida was closed off due to a line of severe thundershowers across the state. Waited in Waycross (great FBO, btw) then set off at 9pm into the night...

I subscribe to WxServer so that I can quickly check the radar and satellite pictures on my cell phone if I find myself at an airport without a wireless internet connection or a DTN server. But I just got a Treo, and it has a real web browser in it. I can get the Intellicast radar picture for...

Does anyone know about filing IFR in the Bahamas? I went to the Out Island (Stella Maris) this past weekend. On return I filed a DVFR plan. It took about 40 minutes flying time to get close enough to Nassau to contact Naussau App. Does Mia center cover that far out? thanks Steve

On the other hand, one would be allowed to fly a descent path of one owns choosing when a visual approach clearance is issued. The controller is often not aware if one is...
