KAP140 Autopilot Details by
News
I have a question about some nuances of the Bendix/King KAP 140 autopilot.
Since the ink is still wet on my IFR rating (actually I have not even gotten
the new one in the mail yet!) I am working on a personal "post checkride"
syllabus. Part of this self training is to fly different routes on an...

Going for my Multiengine rating by
Kobra
Flyers,
For absolutely no reason, except that I want it, I have been taking
Multiengine lessons (including Multi-Instrument and Commercial). The flight
school has a Piper Seneca I (PA34-200) circa 1973.
It fly's like a flying Bulldozer on Codeine (sp?). It's a beast...really.
The controls...

How do controllers coordinate clearances through sectors? by
Robert M. Gary
I'm curious, how does one controller secure a direct clearance through
mulitple other controllers' areas? Sometimes it seems that after a
handoff the receiving controller doesn't know what your clearance is
(but certainly must have that area available for you).
As a typical example, I was flying...

KAUG Notam Question by
Ron Rosenfeld
KAUG AUGUSTA STATE
04/001 - WAAS LPV WAAS LNAV/VNAV OTS WIE UNTIL UFN
This Notam has been posted, well, since April.
No one seems to be sure of what it means.
Translating the abbreviations into English is easy enough. The Notam
basically states that the LPV and LNAV/VNAV approaches are out of...

BAF LOC 23 by
Paul Tomblin
I'm trying to figure out the BAF ILS 23 localizer approach. The normal
LOC 23 approach has a MDA of 900, and the LOC 23/DME approach has a MDA of
700 feet. After the FAF, there is a step down fix at 2.7 DME with a
_1160_ before it. So does this mean that if you don't have DME, you can
descend to...

FAA Cluster F^%& produced DC scare by

Face it, the FAA is on the decline. The Potomac Tracon

CNN this morning did not mention the FAA at all (Major

ADF in Europe by
Ron Rosenfeld
Are ADF's required outside of the United States?
I had a demo flight in a new Mooney Ovation2GX the other day. Quite a nice
airplane, by the way. Afterwards, looking at the price list, I noted an
ADF add-on for the Garmin G1000 panel as $15,500 (it's a Becker ADF, for
those who are interested;...

Taxi Clearance by

GPS vs ADF by
Mortimer Schnerd, RN
I actually posted this in another aviation newsgroup in which I actively post
all the time but didn't get a reply... I assume because of the crash in
Manhattan got everybody's attention. That being said, I'm still hoping for some
insight from the more recently trained.

Unusual attitude recovery advice sought by
Eamon McKinley
Hello everyone,
I'm about a week away from taking my instrument checkride, but I'm
lacking in one area I thought would be a breeze. After spending months
practicing holds, approaches & arcs I was double-checking the PTS and
realised that we had not practised unusual attitudes. My CFII told me
they...

IR without actual IMC by
Iain Wilson
Anyone IR without having actually flown in IMC? My checkride is around the
corner and I've no actual IFR yet. I'm itching to experience it but the
damned weather isn't co-operating (seemed the same way with the PPL!).

backup for vacuum pump/attitude indicator failure by
Kelly
I would be interested in getting opinions about backup systems for a
vacuum pump failure and/or AI failure. I have a 172P with a single
vacuum pump system, standard instruments otherwise, and a Garmin 430.
I am most concerned about having a good backup if I lose a vacuum pump
or AI in IMC. I have...

Cruise clearance by
Hankal
How many times do you get a cruise clearance. Ever get "unable"
Lets say the cloud layers are 4000 to 5200. You are cleared to 5000, but want
to climb to 5300 or above. Is it possible to get a "cruise" clearance to stay
above the layers? What about over class B?

Reasoning behind course reversal by
Michael 182
What is the reasoning behind the required course reversal in many
approaches? It's hard to believe that I will be safer flying the racetrack
and then the approach to the runway than simply flying to the IAF and
proceeding inbound - especially with GPS guidance. I have no problem flying
the full...

Can ATC assign an airway if filed direct? by
Andrew Sarangan
If you file to a VOR direct, can ATC clear you along an airway
instead, and expect you to look up the airways? In other words, how
important is to carry an enroute chart if you don't plan on using
airways?

Which of these approaches is loggable? by
Paul Tomblin
1. Vectored for the VOR 27 at Oshkosh in pouring rain, broke out and saw

on the green dot.
2. Vectored for the ILS 24(?) at Muskegeon, descended on the glide...
