If you have been out of aviation for a time, there are some new terms to learn if you fly IFR. 1. RNav GPS which is lateral Navigation approach (LNAV) 2. Waas enable approaches or Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV) 2 a. LNAV/VNAV is Lateral Navigation /Verical Navigation (Not a precesion...

Does 420W have ILS approaches in its database? I mean, can you set up ILS approach in 420 to monitor your progress while flying ILS approach on your good old KX-155? Thanks in advance, Robin Hou

Does anyone have any recomdations for instrument panel layout software? thanks, greg

Been 8 years since I did short field or soft field takeoffs so figured to see if I could even do these.type of takeoffs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMJfFeKYZCM 7:30 minute video in which you will endure 10 takeoffs of which 1 soft field take off and 2 short field takeoffs, Eight landings...

I declared my first ever emergency yesterday after encountering unexpected ice. I only accumulated about 1/4 inch so it wasn't that big a deal, but I lost my engine gauges (I fly an SR22), which included my OAT, so I went ahead and declared so I could descend below the MEA to shed the ice...

Some questions about flying to LAS: 1. The RNAV RWY 1R (http://naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0903/00662R1R.PDF) has two IAFs: BOACH and SKEBR. I can find BOACH on the enroute chart (on V21 between WHIGG and CRESO) but not SKEBR. Where is it? 2. Same question for KACCY intersection, which is the IAF...

If I'm thinking about flying somewhere in the northeast and returning in a few days, it'll be very helpful to know forecast cloud height three days down the road. Knowing it'll be "cloudy" isn't too helpful. In my Archer (not approved for icing) a hugh difference between an overcast layer at...

Yesterday was a great day for knocking out approaches. Had stopped in flight school to socialize before flying and CFI was bored to tears since he had to cancel VFR students, so he came along for the ride. Launched into 1000 foot ceilings and ceilings at Hawkins Jackson KHKS was 1200 foot. KJAN...

Kindly take a look at the ILS runway 26 approach to Astoria (KAST). I tried to fly this in my sim and I'm not at all sure that I did it correctly. In my case, this is what I did: I was on V187 from Seattle at 6000. Once I was within 25 nm of AST, I descended to 4300. About 12 nm away from AST,...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKJCrhAdeDs A compilation of 10 to 15 second snippets my last two weekends worth of flying in and around IMC.. Amazing to me how much difference in weather conditions I experienced and I never was more then 20 miles from my home airport. Todays condition was...

Who knows something about 50KHz spacing for glideslope receptors? Traditionally we have 40 GS frequencies, with 150KHz spacing from 329.15MHz to 335 MHz. But I see European ILS's requiring "50KHz Glideslope spacing". Anyone know what receptors do this? Or why we would want to do this? 8.33...

I can't figure it out. Thoughts? Thanks. Ethan

Last week I again experienced ATC confusion near Phoenix. Background: On 6 Apr 09 I used AOPA's flight planner to plan IFR from Longmont, CO (KLMO) to Falcon Field, Mesa, AZ (KFFZ) via the low altitude route HYGEN V85 FQF V389 PUB V611 FTI V60 OTO V12 ABQ V190 BARGN at 12,000. When I attempted...
