North Atlantic IFR routes by JJ
When commercial aircraft fly across the big pond during IFR weather, how does FAA and foreign Air Traffic control keep an eye on them without radar? I understand most flights to and from Europe go up over Newfoundland and over south of Greenland and Iceland. Can a radar see out that far? Just...

Lost comms after radar vector by Mike Ciholas
I had a "discussion" with my instructor about lost comms in IMC after a radar vector. To illustrate, consider this scenario (gratuitously enhanced with specifics): Depart BJC (Boulder, CO) for a flight to EVV (Evansville, IN). You expect the flight to take 4:30. You depart at 1200Z. Once...

http://jidanni.org/comm/air/m750/index_en.html is my idea about realigning route M-750 to reduce noise in Taiwan. I wonder how practical it is.

shortest runway w/ an ILS? by Snowbird
recent thread has me wondering: what's the shortest runway you've encountered with an ILS? About the shortest I can think of offhand is the ILS 24 at RID (Richmond, Indiana), 5500 ft. We may have been somewhere w/ a shorter runway served by an ILS, but probably didn't fly an ILS and I don't...

GDL 49/EchoFlight Reception by O. Sami Saydjari
I recently installed a Garmin GDL 49 to receive weather reports from satellite (Echoflight subscription). I was disappointed that we only were in contact with the satellite for 60% of the time. In particular, we were not able to get reports just as we needed them...as we were approaching IFR...

EFAS by Anthony Acri
I am a pilot from Toronto, Canada. Will be flying all the down to Fort Myers in Florida next week hopefully if this weather ever lets up. Coming down in a Baron B55, no boots thought. How do I use EFAS in the US. I know the frequency is 122.0. What kind of remarks do I use on my initial call...

Flight Oximeter and 02 Saturation Standards by O. Sami Saydjari
I just bought a FlightStat Fingertip Pulse Oximeter as an added measure of safety when flying at oxygen altitudes (with oxygen, obviously). Anyway, the device does not really come with any guidelines on threshold levels below which you should be concerned. 1. A little background reading suggests...

Cheap IFR GPS (M3 approach ?) advice by Martin Kosina
Hi all, I am toying with the idea of installing a "cheap" IFR GPS in my '76 Cardinal. Being admittedly a bottom-feeder in this area, my choices are basically limited to a used KLN89B, or the Northstar M3 Approach, something like a $1500 setup total. I don't think an avionics shop would touch...

Alternate Intersection Name in Brackets? by Marco Leon
Hi all. What does it mean when there's an alternate intersection name in brackets in the new AOPA Flight Planner? As an example, there's an intersection just south of the Wash D.C. Class B where V286 and V16 cross. It's called TAPPA but the new AOPA flight planner also has in brackets. It also...

looking for non-vector DP near New York by Roy Smith
I'm learning the CNX-80 my club just installed. One of today's tasks was to load and fly a DP to make sure I knew how that worked. Unfortunately, at my home airport (White Plains), when you go to load the Westchester One, you discover there are no DP's available in the database. OK, we headed...

Capt. Al Haynes sorta OT. by James Blakely
I know everyone hear remember Capt. Haynes. Capt. Haynes was the pilot of United flight 232 when the center engine suffered an uncontained failure and the DC-10 lost all of its hydraulic systems. Capt. Haynes landed the ship at Sioux City using differential power. His handling of the...

AF/D's and NOTAM by Andrew Sarangan
I am curious how many of you routinely consult the AF/D prior to every IFR flight. The reason is, a well known FAA inspector at a recent safety seminar commented that those little green books were not of much use anymore, and that most pilots simply don't use them. I was surprised, because I've...

Turbo Alternator by Wyatt Emmerich
Anybody had any experience with the Turbo Alternator? It is a wind-driven fan, about 7 pounds, which drops down from your wind in the event of an electrical failure. It puts out about 15-20 amps--enough to drive all your instruments.

Approach Timer Frustration by Andrew Sarangan
Over the years I have been using various digital timers, but so far I have not been satisfied with any of them. The LCD displays make them difficult to read when viewing at different angles. The right seat pilot (or CFII) cannot see the digits. Lack of illumination in most units is another big...

Solid State Backup AI by Dan Truesdell
I'm part owner of a IFR 172E. Nice equipment, but no vacuum redundancy. I know I can add a dual-rotor vacuum pump or a manifold-driven alternate vacuum source, but I'd rather have an electric backup (in case of engine failure). Electric pumps add weight and good backup electric AI's are...
