North Atlantic IFR routes by
JJ
When commercial aircraft fly across the big pond during IFR weather, how
does FAA and foreign Air Traffic control keep an eye on them without
radar? I understand most flights to and from Europe go up over
Newfoundland and over south of Greenland and Iceland. Can a radar see
out that far? Just...

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,...

Holds for currency requirements by
Paul Tomblin
I recently did 6 approaches to get back current again, but I forgot to
do a hold. My last hold was less than 6 months ago, so I'm still legal
for a few more days. What counts as a hold to fit that vaguely worded
requirement?
- A self-assigned hold while flying solo VFR in VMC?
- A self-assigned...

NACO approach plates by

Approach Question- Published Missed Can't be flown? by
Brad Z
Question for the gallery-
Refer to the FCI ILS 33 Approach
http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0405/06066I33.PDF
The published missed approach requires tracking to the flatrock VOR (FAK).
For the past few months, the following notam has been published: FAK VOR
067-230 UNUSBL. So basically, you'd need...

to rwy 24. Denied, unless i wish to cancel IFR and proceed VFR. I asked

Jepp Charts - Subscription Only? by
Peter Gibbons
Went to my local pilot shop this week to pick up some new IFR charts,
and noticed a sign near the cash register that stated that Jepp charts
were now only available on a subscription basis through Jepp.
I've only ever used NOS charts, but had heard how good Jepp charts
were and was interested in...

Current Pilots and/or CFI's -- FAR/AIM by
JBoDEAN
Just curious.
What brand FAR/AIM do you prefer? I've been using ASA's and debating
on trying something new for the 2004 edition. I know Gleim, ASA, Jepp
all have their FAR/AIM.
The other CFI's I work with here use the Jepp (book version, not the
subscription).

How much turbulence is too much? by

In reviewing the Warrior II's performance numbers in preparation for my
recent trip across California, I realized that Va would be much lower than I
had always considered it (given that it's just me inside, with gas burning
off towards reserve only). The Va that's written on my lapboard is...

Hello.
My home base airport (KOSU) has ILS 9R approach and NDB 27L approach.
My question is,
Can they have Localizer Back Course 27L?
I am wondering if the signal is always avaialble on the reverse

Localizer back course?

WxWorx continued by
Dan Luke
Today the Sony VAIO PCG-TR1AP notebook arrived, so I was able to install
WxWorx on it and add the GPS map option.
The Sony is a dandy little machine. It's about 10.5"x7"x2" folded up. The
screen is 10.6" diag. and, as advertized, very bright. It was easily
viewable in the car when I took it for a...

FAR 91.171 interpretation by
James L. Freeman
What is the point of the phrase "at the airport of intended departure"
in FAR 91.171(b)(1)?
Interpreted literally, it would mean that while the VOR check done
with a VOT is good for 30 days, it is only valid for departures from
the airport where it was done. That makes no sense. Any...

I'm looking for comments and suggestions specifically about using a
