I want to bite the bullet and get my instrument rating. I live in the San Diego area and I can dedicate 2 hours a day to the task for as long as it takes. Can anyone with direct personal experience reccomend an Instrument trainging program in the San Diego area?

Jeppesens web site really is not user friendly when looking for Just 1 Low Enroute Chart anyone know of a place in the states that has a great selection "World Wide" and that will sell and ship just 1 or 2 charts at a time? Thanks!

Anyone out there have any good web sources for up-to-date, textual PIREPS? Multiple ones over a wide area would be a plus. The only solid way I've found to get them is to log on to DUATS and do a flight plan around the area I'm wanting to get PIREPs for. This is time consuming, and I know theres...

I just wanted to share with a group of people that would understand what I'm feeling right now, since I just received my Instrument Rating this past Saturday morning! (8/16/03) The guys at work just don't understand and it's hard to explain it to them, but I'm sure most of you know how I...

I've been away from flying for a while. I stopped flying at around the time the government plates were rumored to be changing to a new format. I used to use Jepps. I picked up flying again recently. The pilot's store I went to was out of the Jepp express packs, so I decided to give the...

I see the latest batch of government approach plates are printed on nice white paper, rather like the stuff Jepp uses. Much better! The nasty old paper they used to use was very hard to read in low light conditions as the contrast was rather lacking. They are always one step behind Jepp, but at...

This maybe slightly off topic, but Any of the members have an AvMap GPS. I have some questions and willing to discuss it off line if it should be discussed on this board Hank N1441P

I'm looking for opinions / stories / experiences about the various GPS/Wx software packages that are available for Tablet PCs. I have a Motion LS800 and a WxWorx receiver. But, I'm not sure I'm happy with my current choice of software.

Hello. I see there are lots of smart folks in this NG and I learn a lot from you. I have a question that I sure someone can answer for me. I'm not so knowledgeable about some of the GPS approach procedures. I was reviewing the GPS 16L @ KHEF (Manassas VA) and am not sure which DH is applicable...

Just looked at my approach plates. Very few have NDB approaches, some are VOR DME, some require ADF. More and more now are GPS. Since I can use the GPS instead of DME for Some VOR approaches, is it not wise (prudent) to get an IFR certified GPS now? Should it be a Garmin 430 or a 480? The cost of...

I posted earlier about seeing differences of up to 500' between the altitude shown on my Garmin GPS 196 (even while receiving WAAS) and my altimeter. The GPS would consistently indicate higher than the altimeter. Dan Luke suggested the cause might be non-standard temperatures. After some more...

Hello , Recently I bought a PILATUS PC12 ,with the GPS KLN90B. Is it possible to exchange the GPS against a GARMIN 500 and a MAP , as in standard Aircrafts of FS9. Thanks in advance Paul

With all these questions about how to integrate GPS into our everyday operations, I'm tempted to believe we have allowed the advent of this wonderful new technology to send our thinking back to the dark ages! We want GPS to simply replace everything else - then all that "legacy" stuff just...

According to an article in the November 2004 edition of Scientific American, the GPS satellites' clocks have a 7 microsec per day effect due to relativistic motion and a 45 microsec per day effect due to the lower gravity in orbit. The two effects partially cancel, so the net adjustment is 38...

Is there any reason, or regulation, that states that a pilot, flying VFR, is prohibited in flying a GPS approach to an uncontrolled field (assuming VFR conditions at the field), or must the pilot fly the usual pattern to land? Thanks. Bob

I was flying this weekend to maintain my instrument currency and came across a GPS approach unlike any I'd seen thus far. Then again, I'm pretty new to GPS approaches so I'm still finding new stuff fairly often. I was flying approaches into Wellsvill, NY (ELZ) and was setting up for the GPS RWY...
