Homing verses Tracking by
John Bell
I got interested in the effects of homing on a waypoint as opposed to
tracking. I have seen the illustrations and have understood the concept for
some time, but I have never seen any numbers. If you are interested here is
the results of my playing around with...

What was controller implying?? by
Bill J
Yesterday I was on an IFR flight about 50 miles from destination. The
area was getting covered with TS, including my alternate 20 miles futher
west. Home base was 150 mi to the east. I realized I might have to
reverse course to escape, but did not have enough fuel to get home for sure.
So, the...

Coupled approach? by
Roy Smith
I don't fly too many coupled approaches, so forgive me if this is a
simplistic question.
We were flying a coupled VFR/practice ILS in a Debonair with a
Century-2000 A/P. The heading bug was set about 10 degrees to the left
of where it should have been, resulting us tracking to the left of...

Considerations for joining flying club by
Marty Ross
I'm considering joining a flying club this week. This one's the closest
club to where I live, the members, the planes, and the online scheduling
system seem to be great, and I think I'm ready to make the commitment (e.g.,
buy a share in the fleet).
Since I've never joined a club before (have...

Garmin 430 VOR reception by
Maik
Hi!
I have a SL30 and a GNS 430 in my plane. They use the same antenna via a
splitter.
When I dial in the same VOR in both units the SL30 catches up the
radials always between 20 and 50 nautical miles earlier than the GNS
430! (Altitude about 3000 ft, flat area)
Is this normal?
What is your...

Substitute DME for GPS? by
Thomas Borchert
Hi all,
a question that has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it
in Google:
Is it allowed to use an IFR-approach-certified GPS instead of a DME in
a LOC-DME or VOR-DME approach that does not have a GPS-overlay?
Thanks!

GNS 480 and 8.33kHz by
Denis Rochat
What about 8.33kHz, it was annonced for the CNX80, I read that they
changed their mind and would add it to the GNS480 but together with an
improvment of the transmitter output power. No news and no prices
since. Any one hear something about that?
thanks,
Denis (LSGG)

CNX80 versus GNS430 by
Wayne Sweet
I have an experimental airplane which now has a GX50 GPS and two comms, one
nav. The second comm is having problems, so intend to replace it and the
GX50 with either a CNX80 or a GNS430. Any comments on advantages of one over
the other??
In particular, which unit has the best comm/ILS qualities,...

eBay Second Chance Offerings by
Wayne Sweet
I had bid on a GNS430 and lost. A day after, an email stating the winner did
not complete the transaction and I was being offered a "second chance

fraud; the buyer had completed the transaction.
