Cringely on airborne internet access by Dave Butler
War Flying: Bob wants to put WiFi in the Sky, By Robert X. Cringely http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040715.html He proposes a 1,000-node aerial mesh network for wireless internet access for general aviation airplanes (and others, including ground-based users, actually). I hope someone...

Chicago VFR throughway by Stuart King
Chicagoans...please advise ... What about flying from North to South along the shore. Then cross between Midway and O'Hare at 1500MSL. Then continue south, after flipping the bird to Mayor Dick Daley. Is this the way, or is there something like the Hudson river VFR corridor ?

Pease 2 Departure at KPSM by Ron Rosenfeld
What is the reason for the Obstacle (Jepp) or Note (NACO) for Rwy 34 about crossing the threshold at or above 10' AGL. Is it for certain heavily loaded military a/c? Under what sort of circumstances would it come into play? Or is there something else I'm missing here?

Notes on NACO Obstacle Departure Procedures by John Clonts
What's with these notes about all the obstacles? If I can fly the take-off minimums and/or fly the ODP (if specified, not in the example below), does such keep me clear of the noted obstacles? (I think the answer is yes, but then-- what's the point?) Or do I have to do all this pythagorea in my...

Instrument training materials by Paul Folbrecht
Well, my 152 is properly equipped & IFR certified now and I've decided to commence my IFR traning shortly. I'd like to get opinions on study materials. I really like the Jeppeson texts I used for my PPL but my mind is open. (But, I have to say that the Kings happen to drive me nuts!) TIA.

How to file for practice appch at a military base? by Yossarian
I'm planning my 250 nm XC for my instrument rating and would like to do a PAR approach at Pt. Mugu naval airfield (NTD) in CA on my way back from San Luis Obispo. How would I file that? I will be coming down V25, should I expect the IAF to be VTU? Is there any way to indicate in the flight...

RAIM errors and the Apollo GPS by Lee Elson
We've been getting RAIM errors in Southern and Central California with our GX60 in the past couple of months. The unit recovers in a minute or so and there doesn't seem to be a pattern (e.g. in a turn, special altitudes) to the failures. Yes, I know about the earlier discussions of RAIM error and...

Flying IFR with Garmins by Robert M. Gary
I just recently decided to buy our first Garmin GPS (296). I had not in the past because they were so far behind on providing terrain. They fixed that with the 296. However, the one outstanding item missing on the 296 are airways. On my Skymap IIIc I can easily fly an airway by putting the white...

Substitute Routes - what exactly are they? by Andrew Sarangan
These are shown on the LL enroute chart by little brown circles connected by a line. The legend says "substitute route, see NOTAMs". There are several originating from the DQO VOR near the Washington DC area, but there could be others as well. I have never noticed these before. Any ideas what they...

IFR Practice Lesson Learned by Matt Young
Today I learned a lesson about practicing IFR flight. I was practicing with another member of our flying club who is a private pilot, but not instrument rated, coming back from Rogers, AR to Fort Smith after a pancake breakfast fly-in. Fort Smith was landing 7. My safety pilot wanted to fly just...

Logbook instrument time by John Bingham
If you file and fly an IFR GPS direct flight plan and you are in and out of IMC or on top and you are not using outside references to keep it straight and level, what part of the flight can be logged as instrument time? Would it just be the time you are in the soup with no outside references? John...

Changing course to do sightseeing - practical (with clearance) when IFR? by Mitchell Gossman
Flying one of the kids on an IFR flight plan with decent VMC, she asked to circle some landmarks in Minneapolis/St. Paul Class B. I found myself saying "cancel IFR, request clearance to remain in class B with traffic advisories for some sightseeing". No problem, I remained on same squawk with the...

What I did on my summer vacation by Jim Burns
Since my son was born 10 years ago, and my daughter 7 years ago, it seems like my annual vacations have consisted primarily of playing "People Transporter" and "Bill Payer" with absolutely no time for myself. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and I love doing it for the kids but after 10 years...

Safety Pilot by Matt Young
Does a safety pilot have to have a current medical and be current as far as landings go, or just be rated in the category/class being flown?

Marker beacon flashes by James L. Freeman
I have an old marker beacon that works normally (lights and tone), except that the inner and outer lights also twinkle on and off whenever there is a transmission--either on the intercom or external, originated by me or anyone else. In other words, any communication activity causes the MBR lights...
