GNS430 on the Airway by [email protected]
Hello, I was on the ground at an uncontrolled field. I got a clearance to "On departure fly runway heading Radar Vectors xyz VOR Victor xxx abc VOR" Before leaving, I programmed the entire route into the GNS430. Since it doesn't have airways, I "synthesized" them by just putting in the VORs and...

Standby Vacuum? by Mitty
Our club is looking at upgrading a couple of airplanes to Garmin 430s, etc. It seems to me that standby vacuum would be a good thing to add, too. 1) Good idea? Do these systems really work? 2) Recommendations on type/brand/model? TIA

GNS 430W vs GNS 480 by Ron Gordon
I'm going to add either the GNS 430W or GNS 480 to a Beach Bonanza and am wondering if any of you who fly with these GPS units have a recommendation? I'd like a very capable IFR GPS with integrated NAV/COM abilities, which I'll couple to my S-TEC 50 Autopilot with GPSS. Both the 430W and 480 are...

Jep p or NACO Charts? by Judah
Last week I finally got checked out in the club's Arrow. During the training, the instructor noticed that I was using the NACO charts and plates. He uses the Jeppeson stuff and excitedly indicated that it is far superior to the NACO charts. He gave me a few reasons, but when I looked at it...

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...

Procedure Turn by Bravo8500
I'm pretty sure this question has been asked, but I can't seem to find it. My question deals with a typical approach with a procedure turn before the FAF, could be an NDB, VOR, GPS, etc. I know what the purposes are. 1) Provide course reversal and 2) allow altitude loss from the arrival altitude to...

Mode S transponder display to ATC? by paul kgyy
Is it normal practice for a Mode S transponder to display the aircraft tail number to ATC? I ask because I thought it did, but recently on flight following the controller seemed to have difficulty getting my number correct over the radio.

Contact Approach -- WX reporting by [email protected]
It was briefly mentioned in one of the longer threads that a contact approach requires 1 sm reported ground visibility. It reminded me that I had flown a contact approach some 8 months ago to an airport about 15 minutes after the tower had closed (there is no automated weather available) and...

Best Single Pilot IFR Plane by Charles Talleyrand
There must be people on the newsgroup that fly single pilot IFR on a regular basis. These people have a schedule to make and would rather not miss that schedule unless necessary. These people don't have the need to carry many passengers, but just themselves. My question is for these people...

Flying Thru Congested Areas by O. Sami Saydjari
I am planning a long cross country where I am trying to minmiize the time the trip will take (while, of course, trying to be as safe as possible). The shortest route would take me straight over the top of Detroit and Clevland and Pittsburg (I am flying from Central Wisconsin to Washington D.C. to...

Cessna 182T w. G-1000 pirep by C J Campbell
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...

Flight Following question by Jim Carter
So far, every time I come out of ROG and request flight following to it doesn't matter where, I get a discrete squawk that allows departure to hand me off to Memphis Center, or Dallas, or Kansas City. Coming out of LIT however I've never been given anything except a local code and then about 15...

A disturbing statistic by Dane Spearing
I've had many non-pilot friends and co-workers ask, "Is flying a small plane more or less dangerous than driving a car?", to which my response has always been "It depends on who is piloting the plane." However, in order to get a firmer answer from a statistical standpoint on this question, I...

Did I violate an FAR? by Anonymous coward #673
The other day I was under the hood with a safety pilot, but I was not IFR current. I requested a "practice approach in VFR conditions" and was cleared for an actual approach. I advised ATC that I just wanted a practice approach and they said, "We have to put you in the system for ." So I...

When does IFR begin in VFR? by Wizard of Draws
I took a short XC today after a layoff of a few months due to real life constraints and weather. I filed IFR even though it was VFR because I wanted to get back into the groove of communicating with ATC. I filed for 5000 going east. On the ground, they told me it would be faster if I took off VFR...

Practice IMC in real IMC by gregscheetah
Hello, I want to practice maneuvers, descending turns and basic manual maneuvering in IMC conditions. Is it possible to get ATC to assign you a 'practice area' in real IMC environment? Say a block of airspace like they do for aerobatics? Of course I would first do this with a CFII. Previous all...

Missed approach (?) when glideslope fails by Yossarian
You are on an ILS approach, DH 200'. The localizer-only MDA is 500'. You are at 300' in IMC when the GS fails. Assuming you are timing the approach, is it legal to climb to 500 and continue the approach?
