Question to the IFR Pilots Out There by
Cecil E. Chapman
For those of you who have your instrument ticket, how many hours of actual
IMC did you have when you got your ticket.
At approx 40 hours of instrument time I have a 'whopping' .9 hours of ACTUAL
IMC... I sincerely hope I'm going to get to see a lot more before I get my
instrument ticket - which...

Shifting Isogonic Lines? by
[email protected]
Pretty neat seeing how old this discussion us, and pretty sad to see that people were expecting to have the VOR phased out by 2001. Here we are in 2017 and still use them. Hopefully with the FAA's "NextGen" they have going, maybe we will honestly see the VOR go away in a few more years.

Recording flights by

Good Afternoon
Having seem some postings on here this seems like a good place to come to
ask about recording flights in a semi hands off manner and an affordable one
too.
So far i've had passengers with cameras record two of my takeoffs and
landings and i liked it and it helped illustrate what...

Tips on Getting Your Instrument Rating Sooner and at Lower Cost by
Fred
Have you ever carefully studied what the regulations actually REQUIRE
regarding the
various experience requirements for an instrument rating?
The XC requirement in particular, is one that oftentimes unnecessarily adds
to the cost
of an instrument rating and delays getting it.

When does IFR begin in VFR? by
Wizard of Draws
I took a short XC today after a layoff of a few months due to real life
constraints and weather. I filed IFR even though it was VFR because I wanted
to get back into the groove of communicating with ATC.
I filed for 5000 going east. On the ground, they told me it would be faster
if I took off VFR...

Why is a standard hold right turns? by
Roy Smith
It has always struck me odd that a standard landing pattern is left
turns and a standard hold is right turns. Having a left patterns for
landing makes a bit of sense, since the pilot is on the left side of the
cockpit and has a better view of the runway making left turns.
But, for IFR holds,...

Non-precision approach without a published MAP? by

Glaze Ice by
brian whatcott
I did an Oxford instrument ground school long ago.
One of the weather topics was glaze ice. This was described as extremely
dangerous, in that supercooled rain could impact and flow to a glassy
ice layer over the wing in seconds, which tended to pull the aircraft
down pronto.
In the last three...

GPS approaches with Center by

How many here have flown GPS approaches with Center as the approach control?

Is an IPC a substitute for 6 approaches? by
Ben Jackson
The way I read 61.57(d) (the requirement for an IPC), it's just an extra
requirement that kicks in under certain circumstances. It's not a subpart
of 61.57(c) (6 approaches etc in 6 months), and (c) does not have any
exceptions related to (d).
So if an IPC is essentially a checkride, it could be...

Most Challenging Instrument Approaches in Western US? by

Right seat flying by

This isn't an IFR related question, but I don't see an r.a group devoted
