As an owner of a Garmin GNS430 who will most likely upgrade to the WAAS capability, I downloaded and installed the Garmin GNSxxx WAAS simulator last night, then "flew" a couple of RNAV/GPS approaches with LPV minimums. http://www.garmin.com/products/gns430/ (simulator download link on right of...

CINCINNATI – For the second time in six months, a primary radar failure Sunday morning at Cincinnati Tower (CVG) and Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) and lack of appropriate secondary radar feeds severely delayed scores of flights into and out of the nation’s 14th-busiest airport at...

test mess.

On Sat, 08 Oct 2005 13:44:42 GMT, Matt Whiting Yes, I would think that responding, even to a false alarm, would be a lot more fun than sitting and playing cards all day. Sometimes when I phone the FSS for a wx briefing, I get a long-winded description and analysis of the wx...

On a recent flight from KROC to KUUU (Newport RI), a great place to visit by the way, another guy from our club and I tried to use the wind computation function on our recently upgraded 530W. We could enter the data easily enough, but it didn't do the calculation. It just shows 0 kts at 000...

One of my best IFR flights ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeNt0CZWvWk Skirting the edges of Tropical Storm Fay going to Oxford MS and return. Video includes maps of Flight Aware showing my progress both up and back with radar overlay Video does not do it any justice on the feeling of...

I am a relatively new CFII looking for some advice. I am starting an instrument student in a 172 that is bare bones IFR. The plane has a single nav with glideslope, a VFR GPS installation, and no ADF or DME. I haven't flown the plane on an IFR flight yet, but it seems that the way to make it...

I just listed another 1961 Cessna 210A on ebay for auction. This one has 40 since major overhaul on the engine, accessories, systems, and one year since new paint and leather interior. Reserve price is less that 2/3 of the AOPA appraisal value, so you can fly away with a no- problems at a very...

Sirius is making headway in merging with XM Radio. No one seemed to be asking at the Anti Trust hearing whether or not Sirius will continue to maintain the XM aviation weather services. Or if they do, at what cost to the users ? I would imagine that this will be another User Fee that is going to...

Now let's take 91.175. The USA mandates the use of a published IAP. The UK does not. 91.1 says p91 does not apply outside the USA. Does this mean one can fly an unpublished IAP in the UK? I don't see anything in 91.1 saying that it does not apply outside the US. It says that it does...

Am finishing up Machado's exellent Instrument Flying Handbook now. Really enjoyed that - lots of good stuff on approaches (especially) that you don't get in the training materials. So, what else is must reading for the newly-minted IFR pilot?? Thanks for all the replies on the staying-current...

Here's some items to liven up the group... 1. Suppose your departure clearance includes "cross X vor at or above 5000, Y vor at or above 10,000, maintain 15,0000 feet." Once airborne you're given "maintain FL200". Do the altitude restrictions at X and Y vor's still apply? 2. Now suppose...
