Garmin 480 by
Hankal
I need help.
Garmin finally send the CDROM "in flight Demo"
I put it into my HP CD Writer plus and it will not run.
If I go to MY Computer and click on drive E it says the drive is not ready.
Other CDROMs work fine,
Any comments.

MSP or SGS by
Doug Carter
We will be going to Minneapolis next week in a Skylane. Our destination
is about four miles South of MSP; a lot closer than SGS (which seems to
be the next closest airport).
Will the "big iron" operations at MSP make its apparent time advantage
over SGS moot?

GPS PRN NOTAM by
Ali Ghorashi
Hello All,
What does the following NOTAM mean:
GPS 02/001 GPS PRN 26 OTS WEF 0502082100-0502090900
I know it says "GPS Pseudo Random Noise 26 Out of Service" but what are its
implications? Does it mean that RAIM is not available during the outage?
Thanks,

IFR Terminal Procedures Tool by
Todd Neidinger
Hi All,
I recently started working on an instrument rating and found that the
www.naco.faa.gov website is little cumbersome to download and print
approach plates. So I created a little tool that simplifies the process
and thought others might find it useful. The tool will assemble a
single PDF...

Ancient VOR Transmitter ?? by
[email protected]
I recently received this large single-frequency transmitter
from an elderly gentleman who used to be a ham radio operator.
I have not been able to pin down exactly what it is. Some
folks have given the opinion that it may be an old VOR transmitter.
I'm wondering if someone can identify it? Give...

How do I use my e-STMP by
Bravo8500
I just registered on the FAA website and got a reservation into SSI, St
Simons Island, GA. They required on for the Superbowl in Jax. I got the
number, but what do I do with it - put it in the remarks of my flight
plan, or just keep it handy? I can't find any info on it. Thanks!

Continuing past the MAP, KSUN, Hailey Idaho by

Opinions please:
Hailey Idaho, KSUN, daytime, ndb dme approach (circling only minima),

miles, with "fly visual to airport" annotation.

Contact approach question by
Paul Tomblin
On the most recent Pilots Audio Update, the narrator was talking about a
time when fog covered half the airport, but he could see the runway he was
going to land on, but because the control tower was on the foggy half of
the airport, they wouldn't approve a visual approach. He was being
vectored...

PC/PDA based approach plates by

I use a tablet PC for XM Weather in flight, and figured I should add

So, I am looking for feedback on Seattle Avionics SmartPlates. Also,

MX 20 -another faulty display by
[email protected]
2 years ago we were forced to replace (for $600) our MX20 display
because it had vertical lines. At the time, we were led to believe
these were "growing pains" and that what is now Garmin AT had
re-designed the MX20 box so display failures would be less common. The
new displays even came with an 18...

Garmin 430, weak Loc/VOR by
Greg Esres
A student recently installed a Garmin 430. It will not pick up a
nearby VOR on the ground, while his old 170B will. The needle comes
alive just after liftoff, but it does seem to have a lot of course
roughness.
His localizer also exhibits a lot of course roughness when far out on
the localizer,...

GNS 430 simple question by
MJC
I have just one question for you Garmin GNS 430 owners:
The 430, of course, can output both GPS and VOR data to a CDI indicator.
However, what I'm wondering, is if you have two CDI's, can the 430 run both
of them at the SAME TIME.. one CDI set to GPS output and the other CDI set
to VOR...
