Closest SDF, LDA and LOC-BC Approaches by
Andrew Sarangan
Is there a search tool I could use to find the closest SDF, LDA and LOC-BC
approaches? With airnav I can only search for precision or nonprecision
approaches. I am looking for examples of the other less common approaches
that are nearby without having to sift through every page of the approach
book.

Enroute charts valid for use in Canada? by
Andrew Sarangan
The enroute chart for the border states include a significant portion of
Canada. Is this sufficient for IFR into Canada? The VFR sectional contains
a warning that the airspace classification may be different in Canada and
that the pilot should consult the Canadian Flight Supplement. But the...

Can US enroute charts be used in Canada? by
Andrew Sarangan
Are the Canadian areas shown in the US enroute charts valid for IFR
navigation? Unlike the VFR sectional charts, I don't see any warnings
printed on the IFR enroute charts.

IFR through Detroit Class B by
Andrew Sarangan
I am planning a trip to PTK (Oakland County) which is about 25 miles north
of Detroit. I will be coming from the south. The route is V493 to CRL and
then direct to the PSI VOR. Planned altitude is 6000'. This will take me
almost directly overhead the DTW airport. What are the chances of...

Approach Questions by
Andrew Sarangan
A few questions came up in ground school that had me stumped. Any insight
is appreciated.
Why do some approaches say Radar required when all the fixes can be
identified using other equipment required for the approach? For example,
VOR-DME-A at 3G3.
When a holding pattern is published in lieu of a...

Good IFR in the midwest by
Andrew Sarangan
The last few days have been excellent IFR conditions here (Ohio and
Indiana). Freezing levels above 8000ft, weather near minimums has been
a great opportunity for spancan flyers like us to get some actual
experience without worrying about ice.

How many nonradar airports? by
Andrew Sarangan
I am curious to know how many airports exist where you have to fly a non-
radar instrument approach (ie feeder routes, IAF, procedure turn etc..). I
have come across a few in Colorado and New Mexico, but I have never
encountered one in other areas I have flown.

Obtaining IFR clearances in Canada by
Andrew Sarangan
How do you get clearances from a non-towered field in Canada? Do they use
RCO/GCO or void-times like in the US? Are pop-up clearances used?

CAT IIIC minimums by
Andrey Serbinenko
A question: the landing minimums section for ILS CAT-III approaches
may have separate lines for A, B, and C. In some cases the C line
has an "NA" for visibility, and on some other plates the whole C
line is missing. So, what's the difference? Does "NA" mean "not
authorized", i.e. CAT-IIIC cannot be...

plate question by
Andrey Serbinenko
After looking at the ILS-Z approach in NC that was discussed here some time
ago, I was curious how many similar approaches there are, and if they all
are military. Thanks to the uniform naming NACO uses for its chart files,
it was fairly easy to get a list of all the ILS-Z approaches: there...

Most Challenging Instrument Approaches in Western US? by
Angus Davis
I am curious to hear this group's thoughts on the most challenging
instrument approaches in the Western US. Perhaps this not the best way
to phrase the question, because I am planning a trip with a fellow
instrument student and our instructor around the Western US this winter,
similar to those...

Looks like XMradio weather is hitting the streets.. by
Anonymous
Anyone looked at http://www.airgator.com/ ? Looks like one of the
first portable WX systems based on XMradio broadcast technology.
(http://www.wxworx.com)
I don't suppose anyone has used this and could offer feedback? I wish
AnywhereMap would change from the GlobalStar phones to this
technology....

IPC in a Simulator? Phoenix area.. by
Anonymous
I am looking for a flight school in the Phoenix area that can give me
an IPC (or let me log approaches for currency) in a simulator. Sim
time just seems so much more efficient than taking the real thing out
in CAVU and putting a hood on... Does anyone know of such a place?
Please post your...

Did I violate an FAR? by
Anonymous coward #673
The other day I was under the hood with a safety pilot, but I was not
IFR current. I requested a "practice approach in VFR conditions" and
was cleared for an actual approach. I advised ATC that I just wanted a
practice approach and they said, "We have to put you in the system for
." So I...
