Actual Time in Sacramento by
three-eight-hotel
If this weather holds, it might be time for some of us newer IA pilots
to get some actual time in! I realize in most locations the visibility
is a little too low, but the season is definitely upon us...
Anybody at SAC planning on getting some actual in???

Throwaway GPS by
Scott Moore
I thought for all of the GPS threads.
Next year, 2006, the government mandate for GPS inclusion in cell phones
starts. That means that eventually every cheap cell phone is going to have
a GPS.
GPS receivers are plentyfull now, but are getting set to proliferate into
a commondity part. The time is...

Safety pilot - logging cross-country by
S Herman
For IFR practice, in the situation where both pilots are logging PIC,
one as sole manipulator, the other as acting PIC, can both pilots log
cross-country (assuming the flight meets the length requirements) for
the purpose of meeting the requirements for the Instrument Rating?

Garmin 430 by
[email protected]
I have a VFR only 172 and I am considering IFR training.
I am looking for the most practical way to make my plane IFR certified
and useful.
At first glance, it appears to me that the Garmin 430 provides a LOT of
useful information for relatively not much money.
I have 2 questions though....

The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft? by
Bob Moore
Peter wrote
There are various documents such as the cert of airworthiness, and
(for an N-reg in Europe) the FAA radio license, which some say need to
be carried in original.
The Radio License doesn't come from the FAA, it is isued by the FCC.

Connecting enroute to approach charts by
Ron Garret
I'm going VNY-LAS. DUATS auto routing came up with a route that ends
at OASYS on V394. Trick is, OASYS is not an IAF for any approach into
LAS as far as I can tell. What should I do if I lose comm?
A related question: some approaches into LAS have IAFs that I can't find
on the enroute chart...

Commercial certificate question by
Matt Whiting
I think I know the answer to this, but would like a second opinion.
Does FAR 61.129 (a)(3) (iii) and (iv) really require an instructor ride
along on these two long VFR flights? I have over 600 hours TT and an
instrument rating and plan to obtain my commercial certificate.
