I hate cross-posting, but just this once I will give in to the temptation. The rec.aviation newsgroups have become useless. There is very little "meat" in the postings...sushidot is about the only poster interested in learning anything. If anyone is looking for me, I hang out in the AOPA Forum,...

Please understand that I am a geezer, and getting crotchety in my old age. I have Summit Aviation's CD-ROM that includes just about every piece of paper issued by the FAA...regulations, AIM, PTS, ACs, etc etc etc. I have searched this resource for two words: flair and flair. My Webster's Ninth had...

Are you familiar with Skew-T diagrams? They show a continual track of temperature and dewpoint versus altitude as reflected by the RAOB balloon. Might be better than depending on rules of thumb. Just Google Skew-T and you will get plenty of links. Bob Gardner "Peter" wrote...

Ask works at Potomac Approach and might know how this is handled. Bob Gardner "Roy Smith" wrote in message ... I'm going to Baltimore in a couple of weeks and figure I'll fly into Martin State (KMTN). ...

It is apparently not possible to communicate with you directly, so let me explain how I got the 1.4 miles of protected airspace on the non-maneuvering side of procedure turn airspace, and apologize for being wrong...the protected airspace is 4.0 miles wide, giving the pilot even less reason to work...

Got a little memory jog in the April 2006 Designee Update...other than "Basic Instrument Flight Maneuvers," there is nothing in the 2004 (latest) PTS about timed turns OR compass turns. Nothing. Nada. So instrument pilot wannabes need not be concerned about demonstrating either one to the examiner....

To keep me from looking at every approach plate PDF in the country for some research I am doing, would you folks give me some examples of standalone (not RNAV(GPS)) approaches in your areas of operation? Thanks. Bob Gardner

I did not realize that if I replied to a cross-posted message my reply would also be cross-posted. Cheeezz!! I'm Bob Gardner and I approved this message.

A Flight Training Device, such as the one you had demonstrated to you, is harder to fly than the actual airplane when it is working perfectly. The airplane is a pretty forgiving thing, short term...you can let go of the controls and it will maintain trimmed pitch and bank for awhile. The FTD,...

Go to www.loran.org, and click on the March 2004 Newsletter....the USCG and FAA have signed onto an agreement to retain Loran C as a backup to GPS. Bob Gardner

In his book "WeatherFlying," Captain Bob Buck offers this advice: First, fly from good weather to good weather; ceilings should be 1000 feet or higher, tops 7000 feet or lower. Takeoff and landing, of course, are in VFR conditions. Second, bad weather to good weather...take off into an overcast,...

Anyone currently flying with a KNS-80 please contact me directly. Thanx. Bob Gardner

I know Don Brown. He is a good 'ol country boy, and an entertaining writer, but he is not a pilot. His aviation world is circumscribed by the AIM and Air Traffic Control Handbook, with no latitude (no pun intended) allowed. His Avweb column about filing IFR is almost perfect, but there are...

Those who are interested in such arcana should look at the plates for Moline, Illinois. Four approaches...all noted as not authorized for use as an alternate. Hint: Don't file MLI as an alternate. Bob Gardner

Their format allows them to depict navaids that would not be visible if the whole thing was to scale....might have an IAF 20 miles out that would be off the chart. Bob Gardner "Phil Verghese" wrote in...

If any of you flies IFR in the northern Missouri (COU) to Illinois area (PIA), I have a couple of questions. E-mail me direct. Bob Gardner

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. Bob Moore
