Any good online sources for the most likely routing you will get from ATC? All of the online flight planning sources I've found seem to only use the most direct via airways when selected vs the Preferred or TEC routing you almost always wind up getting.

How come IAF, FAF, MM, MAP, are all depicted (usually) on the profile view of an approach chart but the IF (intermediate fix) is not? -- -- Good Flights! Cecil E. Chapman, Jr. PP-ASEL

I'm reviewing the approach plates for my Instrument lesson this coming Thursday (which I just realized is September 11, of all things..). I've found it useful to 'practice' approaches using OnTop flight sim before my lessons, seems to give me more 'bang for the buck'. Anyway (I'm sorry, in...

Has anyone found a REALLY great/comprehensive 'flight form' to use for their IFR flying? -- -- Good Flights! Cecil E. Chapman, Jr. PP-ASEL

INFLIGHT IFR Training glasses I just ordered a pair of these... Any instrument pilots/students have any experience with this product? Supposedly it is a fairly new product on the market. -- -- Good Flights!

For those of you who have your instrument ticket, how many hours of actual IMC did you have when you got your ticket. At approx 40 hours of instrument time I have a 'whopping' .9 hours of ACTUAL IMC... I sincerely hope I'm going to get to see a lot more before I get my instrument ticket - which...

Just a question for y'all out there. In-between lessons I've been practicing approaches using my OnTop IFR program. It seems to work, very well, in terms of getting me to recall the procedures and frequencies by sheer repetition when it comes to my actual lesson day. My question though: Is such...

Anyone know where on the web I can get hold of the legend for the Jepp low level enroute charts. Unlike the NACO charts the Jepp charts don't have the legend on the charts. Having used the NACO for the written, I wanted to evaluate the Jepps by comparing them with the NACOs. I have a couple of...

Hello all, Anybody know of an available function in the KLN-89B that shows 'velocity made good?' That is, if you are not flying directly toward a waypoint, what is the closing velocity? Groundspeed, as reported, is relative to the velocity vector, so that isn't the correct figure. Why? you ask. ...

I have flown into Rhode Island several times, and always file direct. However, as I begin to approach the area (about 150 mi out) ATC gives me ammended routing. My problem is that I am unfamiliar with the navaids/airways in that part of the country and it adds a lot of stress to the flight trying...

Anyone flown IFR into CLT in a piston single? I've got a commercial flight leaving CLT next month. I'd be flying in around 4pm on weekday. Thanks! Chris

Quick follow up on my IFR to CLT in a Piston Single. Thanks to the group for the info - it was quite useful. Took the trip starting last Thursday - used CLT ATC's web site to time my arrival during a "slow" period. I did ask my local controller if they had any LOA's with CLT. I'm based in...

I was asked if I would accept an ASR approach into a satellite airport for controller training. I said, sure no problem. I got a wide vector that put me on a 15 mile final. The controller gave me a "10 miles from airport, complete pre-landing checklist". I've never heard that one before - it...

I am planning to get my commercial pilot certification but I am not sure where to go to do it. I am interested in training with Snohomish Flying Service but I am not sure how reputable their flight school is. Could anyone offer me any advice about training at Harvey Field or any experiences with...

YIPPEE! I'm now a private pilot! I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday. What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd be, and went very well. Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations about...

Maybe another way to describe what I'm looking for, is a Consumer Report's type of grid that shows features of each of the GPS's and ranks them as "good, better, and best" Anyone know of comparative review of several GPS's in one place? Thanks for answering here.

I'm considering getting the Terrain Awareness MCC card, for my 2000c and wondering if any of the list members have installed this upgrate. A third party, (non-compensated) review or or opinions would be very helpfull for our list members who are considering getting of these. What do you think of...
