Due to a business meeting, I will be flying from NY to Miami, Florida in a few weeks. In looking over the en route charts, I see a lot of MOAs, restricted, and prohibited airspaces throughout Florida. Also, my destination is Kendall-Tamiami (KTMB), which is just southwest of Miami International...

I got into a discussion with an non-pilot MD comparing a professional degree versus flying. My background, BS and MS from the top 2 bioengineering programs in the US. (note, I put *much* more weight to experience over letters after a name including my own). Flying-wise, I have a PPL and about 33...

I'm considering flying from ROA to CLT for a business meeting at the airport itself next Tuesday -- arriving around noon and departing around 16:00. I've not flown G/A to CLT before -- anyone able to advise on the in/out delays (and fees) that I should expect? I'm having a tough time justifying...

Hello, I'm relatively new to IFR (got the rating in Jan.) and also have never flown into the Arizona area. I'll be flying from the San Diego area into Chandler (CHD) and I want to do the flight IFR. I have some questions: 1. Does ATC normally route you to CHD using one of the PHX STARs? I did...

Anyone flown IFR into CLT in a piston single? I've got a commercial flight leaving CLT next month. I'd be flying in around 4pm on weekday. Thanks! Chris

Any pointer for a short trip IFR or VFR to IAD? -- remove underscores to email

I left it too late to get a reservation. Can I just file to FAH VOR and then proceed VFR to Ripon and join the conga line? -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue 0 0 rows returned

Hi All, I've been snooping the rec.aviation.* groups for a while, and I'm still lost. I want to start studying for my IFR rating. I'm from the US, resident in Japan, and so I reckon on studying on my own then taking the test on some trip back to the states one day. I've seen a variety...

Hi, I'm planning a trip from BED or LWM to Montreal during august. Any specific things I need to know? Is it better to land at St Hubert, Dorval or Mirabel ? Which ones is the most convenient for a GA aircraft ? Moreover, on my way back do I need to make a stop at an airport of entry near the...

I've seen other discussions get off topic and go on about handheld GPS use under IFR. And people get all worked up about it. I know there is a lot of history on this newsgroup, but I haven't followed most of it (so don't lynch me, please). It seems that a lot of pilots believe a handheld GPS...

I'm planning a flight into Angel Fire, NM (KAXX). I will be coming in from the south via Las Vegas (LVS) at 10000 feet. If it's IMC I will land and Las Vegas and drive from there (the only IAP into kaxx is "out of my reach"). But if it's CAVU, I will fly still at 10k, up the valley and pass,...

Anybody know what the limitations are on flying IFR with passengers in a single-engine under a single-pilot, single-aircraft part 135 cert? Thanks for any info, I can't glean it from reading part 135.

OK, I broke down and sprung for the Lowrance Airmap 2000c instead of the 1000. Wow. Normally I rent a plane that has a panel-mounted IFR certified Garmin 430, but that may change due to circumstances beyond my control in a few months. Obviously I can't file /G IFR without a proper IFR GPS, but...

Can you use a safety pilot for long XC or does it need to be a CFII?? Walt
