Good AI backup, wish me luck by Robert M. Gary
After having both a vac pump failure and an AI failure (not on the same flight :) ) I decided its really time for a backup. I always consider my Mooney to be an "IFR anytime" type of plane, in that I consider it a solid IFR platform. When the vac pump goes out alarms starting sounding, my voice...

First time in IMC by Gerald Sylvester
Just got my PPL 2 1/2 months ago and jumped in to IFR for a few reasons including the weather was crappy and I want as much actual as possible. Saturday went up in perfect VFR conditions. At least my CFI had a nice view out the window. I did ok but had been on a sim so i was a touch rusty in the...

It is class G to 1200 and then class e plus some class b around. How can I depart IFR from this airport? Do i need to depart VFR...

RNAV vs IFR GPS by PaulaJay1
Coming into CLE the other day the controller ask if I had RNAV and I said no, that I was /G ,that is, IFR GPS. He said that it was the same and gave me direct..... Is it the same, should I have answered yes to his question? Of course I can navigate direct but do I have "RNAV"? Chuck

Chart subscriptions by Dave Anderer
Any suggestions for a good internet-available, good service, well-priced chart subscription service? I've used vrotate.com for individual chart purchases. Good price and service, but the site is - well - less than I might hope for. No support for subscriptions (that is evidently done via...

Reading the whiskey compass by Ben Jackson
When you're flying partial panel, to what precision do you read the mag compass? To the nearest 5 degrees? Estimate to the nearest degree? How long do you go between readings and rely only on timed turns? For that matter, do you ever try to apply values from the correction card? In IMC or even...

Practicing Chewing Gum by Jerry Kaidor
"Jerry can't fly and chew gum at the same time." ....That's the feeling I got after my last lesson. Yesterday I went out to the airport. CFII was busy, couldn't practice "flying", but I darn well could get better at chewing gum. That is, all the other stuff that you do to fly IFR. Besides...

Clearance: Direct to airport with /U by Judah
The other day I was flying to 3N6 in NJ from JST in PA in a plane with two VORs and a VFR-only GPS. About halfway through I got an ammended clearance giving me a shortcut. The last point in the clearance was ARD then Direct 3N6. After accepting the clearance, and turning toward the next waypoint,...

Reasoning behind course reversal by Michael 182
What is the reasoning behind the required course reversal in many approaches? It's hard to believe that I will be safer flying the racetrack and then the approach to the runway than simply flying to the IAF and proceeding inbound - especially with GPS guidance. I have no problem flying the full...

My first big IFR mistake... by Ben Jackson
I made my first big IFR mistake. I fixed my intermittant ADF with only a few more hours of training to go until my checkride. My glorious plan to label it INOP (making it an expensive combination multi-channel timer and partial panel heading memory aid) has been thwarted by a little tuner cleaner...

Victor Airways on Approach Control Radar? by Andrew Sarangan
The other day I queried an approach controller to find out how well we are doing tracking the airway centerline. He said his radar scope does not show the airways. I was surprised by this. Is this normal? I know that Center controllers have airways on their radar, but it appears that Approach...

Whatever happened to Thunderhead hood ? by Sanjay Kumar
I was reading the review of various hoods in Consumer Aviation (January 1999 - yeah thats 5 years ago !). They recommended Thunderhead and Best Hood among non-foggle solutions (I don't like foggles because whatever is wrong with me any eyeglass-wear just fogs up quickly). I have ordered Best Hood...

IFR Long X/C and the Specter of Expectations by David B. Cole
Yesterday we finally had a chance to do the long X/C. For those of you that don't know, I have about 50 hours of dual instrument and I'm fairly close to the checkride. At least that's what my instructor proposes. So as you can see my long X/C came later for me than most. I've also had an...
