Boosting ICOM IC-A23 Handheld Aviation Radio by CHANGE USERNAME TO westes
I recently purchased an ICOM IC-A23 radio, and I'm disappointed in its pickup. It gets the weather channels fine, but the reception for both the airport and airplane radios is poor. Aside from standing next to the airport or being right under the airplane, do I have any options for improving...

Looking for GCO's in New York area. by Roy Smith
Does anybody know of any airports in the New York City area with a GCO installed? This is the new(ish) "4 click for ATC, 6 clicks for FSS" gizmo. It seems like something I should expose my students to.

Real World test bed for avionics - Megawatts at Delano by MikeremlaP
Thought there used to be an "avionics" subgroup, but I guess not. Cross posting this in .products & .experimental. If you want a good real world test of how hardened your equipment is to RFI, fly over to Delano, California and fly the pattern for 32L. That puts you about 2 miles from the Voice...

Any early turn takeoffs still around? by Michael
There used to be takeoff minimums where a turn was required as soon as possible after takeoff for obstacle avoidance reasons. Anyone know if any such still exist or if they have all been phased out? Michael

The VOR or GPS-1 into Sky Park, NY (46N) http://www.myairplane.com/databases/approach/pdfs/05462VG1.PDF has a note saying "Final approach from Saggi Int holding pattern not authorized. Procedure turn required". What doesn't make sense about this is that SAGGI is an IAF, and you're allowed to use...

Closest SDF, LDA and LOC-BC Approaches by Andrew Sarangan
Is there a search tool I could use to find the closest SDF, LDA and LOC-BC approaches? With airnav I can only search for precision or nonprecision approaches. I am looking for examples of the other less common approaches that are nearby without having to sift through every page of the approach book.

Anyone know of a source of a simple timer for approaches? I had one years ago that was very simple. It was round with two buttons, one to start and stop the timer and another to reset it. All I can find now are the West Bend and others that have a lot more features than I need. Unfortunately,...
