Victor Airways in Clearance by
Wyatt Emmerich
I fly with a Garmin 530. Great box, but I cannot for the life of me
understand why they would fail to include Victor Airways. Anyway, I often
get a clearance such as 210BA cleared to Yodoo, Clear City, Victor 245,
Bogur.
Now if I program the Garmin 530 for Yodoo, Clear City, Bogur, 19 times our

OK, FAR Lawers we need your help! by
Mike Rapoport
Recently the COE VOR was notamed OTS. Coincedent with this the KSZT LOC/DME
was notamed NA. The explanation given was that the COE VOR was nessasary to
fly the tranition (COE is the IAF) and the missed approach (the missed ends
with a hold at the COE VOR). I contend that GPS can substitute for...

Lonely up there? by
paul kgyy
It appeared to be a long time since last hearing from ATC on a recent
flight, and sure enough, "27D can you still hear us?". I still could,
and they transferred me to a local approach control.
Anybody ever just call them up to see if they forgot about you? I did
that once over Toledo.

Supercooled Water - More on Icing by
O. Sami Saydjari
This question is a question on physcial phenomena, NOT on regulation (so
I am starting a new thread).
As I understand it, icing happens between +2C and -10C. Assuming this
is correct, I have three questions.
(a) Does that mean one is relatively safe if the surface temperature is
below -10C (and...

Descent below MDA -- what would you do? by
Roy Smith
What would you do in this situation? You're on the GPS-22 into Ellenville,
NY (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0508/09390G22.PDF), planning to land
straight-in. Note the high MDA (1800 AGL). There's no weather reporting
at your destination, but several nearby airports are saying anywhere from
2-1/2 to...

Actual Time in Sacramento by
three-eight-hotel
If this weather holds, it might be time for some of us newer IA pilots
to get some actual time in! I realize in most locations the visibility
is a little too low, but the season is definitely upon us...
Anybody at SAC planning on getting some actual in???

Total electrical failure - (hypothetical) by
paul kgyy
I was doing some practice IFR at home last night with my simulator, and
set up for random failures. First thing that happened was complete
electrical shut down - no radios, no VOR, no Xponder, and it suddenly
occurred to me that I'd never thought through what I would do. I do
carry backup comm...

Pentrating Towering Cumulus Clouds by
O. Sami Saydjari
Thunderstorm season is up us. I get a little concerned when I see
towering cumulus clouds forming in my flight path because I know that
towering cumulus clouds can turn into thunderstorms.
1. Assuming that thunderstorms were not predicted for the area, is my
concern unjustified?
2. Do most...

I passed the checkride, now need a good GPS and passenger headset by
C. Osbourne
YIPPEE! I'm now a private pilot!
I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday.
What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd
be, and went very well.
Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm
hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations
about...

Boundaries between Approach/Departure and Center by
Mxsmanic
What determines the boundaries between airspace managed by an en-route
ATC center and an approach or departure center? I don't see any clear
indication of which is which on sectionals. There are boxes saying
who to contact for approach, but nothing that shows where the handoffs
between terminal...

Implications of.....keeping the speed up by
[email protected]
So let's say I'm inbound to Teterboro from the west, doing 250 kias
below 10,000 in descent. Atc gives me a radar vector, and clears me
to maintain 4000 feet.
1, Do I need to slow to 200 kias at some time?
2. I'm considering that I may well be less than 3000 feet AGL (or is
2500 the magic...

DUAT by
Stan Prevost
I used to use DUAT to file flight plans for VFR Flight Following and VFR On
Top. Not long ago, they changed their software. Now I can't get it to
accept an OTP flight plan. Haven't tried FF.
Example: Yesterday I filed an IFR plan having altitude field of 125/OTP.
It rejected it. It accepted...

Making a VFR C152 IFR by
Paul Folbrecht
I've just purchased a '79 152 that is currently VFR only. Avionics
consist of a single nav/com and xponder. That's it.
At some point in the next year or two I am going to want to get my
instrument ticket in this aircraft, so I'm already starting to think
about the best way to do that. Trouble...

Real-world IFR currency by
Paul Folbrecht
So, I passed the ride two weeks ago, with about 45 hours simulated
instrument time and a precious 2.5 hours actual. I flew a couple
practice ILS's two days ago, after an "off-period" of less than two
weeks and already felt a bit rusty, though they went Ok (2nd definitely
better than the first). ...

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...

VOR/DME Approach Question by

me with an IAP question. The airport involved is RKW, which is Rockwood,
Tennessee. The IAP in question is the VOR/DME RWY 22 into Rockwood. If you
have the plate or know the procedure, I hope you can help me out.

Ham sandwich navigation and radar failure by
David Brooks
Question for the enroute controllers. You have a spamcan or two, not filed
/G, cleared direct to some fix. You don't care whether they are navigating
with pilotage, a VFR GPS, or a ham sandwich, so long as they are on radar
and don't go too grotesquely out of the way.
Now the radar goes kaplooey,...
