Low and high altitude airways by
David Megginson
(K. Ari Krupnikov) writes:
I've never flown a jet airway (and probably never will, except on an
airliner), but here's a question. There are fewer J routes than V, and
they connect fewer navaids. So it can happen that your destination is
quite far from the nearest...

Flying through Canadian airspace by
M
I'll take a few flights between Rochester, NY and the Detroit area this
summer. Going through the Canadian airspace just seems so much
shorter. I can go IFR.
My questions is:
* I don't need to deal with customs at all, as long as I don't stop at
Canada, right?
* Do I need to use the ICAO...

"normal" procedure for pop-up filing by
paul kgyy
I was taught that, if I needed to file an IFR flight plan in the middle
of a trip, I should contact FSS first to file and get clearance, then
contact ATC. On the other hand, I hear frequent references in
rec.aviation to pilots who just contact ATC directly. Does this depend
on how busy ATC is -...

IFR Passengers? by
C Kingsbury
What are your standards for taking passengers up into actual conditions?
I've developed a decent feel for what people will tolerate VFR- who can take
a few bumps, who will get scared if its windy, etc. But I haven't got any
idea what to make of taking pax into the soup. Is it as disorienting...

NACO approach plates by
J Haggerty
Just found out at work the other day that NACO/FAA have started
publishing their own approach plates on line. They're actually pretty
crisp looking, even when printed.
You can view them here;

Just click on the current date range and then...

How to File a Star by
Dennis Johnson
Let's say I want to file a standard instrument arrival route (STAR) on my
IFR flight plan. For example, flying to Henderson Executive (KHND), south
of Las Vegas. I want to fly from Palmdale VOR (PMD) to Hector VOR (HEC) to
BASAL intersection to Daggett VOR (DAG), to Henderson (HND)...

Different WAAS altitude readings by
Wyatt Emmerich
My Garmin 296 indicates 330 MSL at KHKS, which is correct. My Echo Flight
GPS indicates 140 MSL. Both are locked on to WAAS.
How can I have such a large discrepancy? Both units seem to be functioning
properly other than this.

On a very steep approach such as the backcourse loc-A to Santa

reaching PATER, in order to facilitate a...

Icing Airmets by
Andrew Sarangan
I've been watching the icing airmets for some time now, and it seems
to be getting more and more conservative to the point of being
unrealistic. For example, right now the freezing level is at 5000 ft,
MEA is at 2500 ft, yet we have an airmet Z that goes all way from SFC
to 18k. How could you...

backup cockpit lighting by

What do you use for extra and backup lighting in the cockpit for IFR
flights at night? Some airplanes have pretty decent lighting built in.
Others can have decent cockpit lighting and poor panel lighting.
Others have shadows in poor locations, or areas of the panel/cockpit

Garmin DME arc weidnress by

It's always fun and challenging to figure out what the Garmin thinks
it's doing; see my list of "Garmin gotchas" for examples:
