A question: the landing minimums section for ILS CAT-III approaches may have separate lines for A, B, and C. In some cases the C line has an "NA" for visibility, and on some other plates the whole C line is missing. So, what's the difference? Does "NA" mean "not authorized", i.e. CAT-IIIC cannot be...

Hello, Here you are tootling along on your IFR flight plan - maybe on vectors - whatever, you're exactly where you should be, following ATC's instructions to the letter, and they then say "35Siera, you have traffic at 10:00 east to west three miles 7000 feet a Boeing 737

The last 2 times (yesterday and 1 week ago) I've tried to used CBAV to get Nexrad images, I get a blank screeen with the word "display" on it. Anyone have this problem recently? Is there a problem?

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)

Did anyone happen to catch this? It is certainly worth writing to both CBS and your congressman. sorry if i'm off topic. http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?ContentBlockID=139faa40-aa30-4cd2-a8bb-44 d7156e949b&

Hello - I have been looking in the AIM and a few other places and am trying to track down where enroute approach control end and Center control altitudes begin. When planning arrivals and depatures through NYC/DC/PHL and BOS airspace I was curious where those altitudes begin. I've been told...

OK, I know I said I would not get to fly this plane until tomorrow, but it arrived early and so I took a flight. This is a new turbocharged Cessna T182T. For those that have not seen the 182T (either turbo or normal, introduced last year), you might be a little startled the first time you take a...

I was thinking about a cessna 340A Any insight out there ? SK

A CFI with airplane single-engine rating but not instrument-airplane (not a CFII) gives flight instruction to a private pilot. Part of the flight is in the clouds, with the private pilot flying. Can the CFI log instrument time under FAR 61.51(g)(2): "An authorized instructor may log instrument...

Hi Everybody, I just moved to AVL and looking to get into some freelance instructing. But of course I need access to an airplane, so if anybody knows of one that I could instruct in, I would really appreciate hearing about it... Thanks, Jonah

Anybody in the group have any CFI-I checkride stories/hints/advice that they'd like to share? I'm working towards my CFII now. -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply

Can anyone point me to an oral exam guide (internet preferred) for the CFII? I see lots of stuff for IR but no one seems to publish anything for the CFII specifically. Looking for specific questions on teaching techniques. -Robert

I had a surprise reaction from approach controller while entering the GPS 23 at UCP: http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0709/05842R23.PDF I was doing a final pre-checkride lesson, and about 25 NW of UCP. In IMC, assigned heading 250 at 4000. I expected the next word would be "advise when you have...

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...

I'm considering taking one of the intensive instrument rating courses, most of which have a prerequisite of having completed the knowledge exam. Accordingly, I've been working on that on my own. Is there a CFII around who is willing to give me an endorsement to take the test, preferably just on my...

Folks ! I am planning to start my IFR training and wanted to get a good Yoke + Trainer software. I got CH Yoke USB and downloaded IP Trainer 6.5 which supports the USB Yoke. Unfortunately in my demo runs I find the Software to be too senstive to Yoke pitch - its always in a dive or a climb making...

I'm looking for challenging instrument approaches in the United States that I can have my students fly on the simulator. I'd be interested in hearing your suggestions. Any type of IAP is welcome as long as it makes the pilot work a little bit. Tia Richard Kowalski
