For IFR practice, in the situation where both pilots are logging PIC, one as sole manipulator, the other as acting PIC, can both pilots log cross-country (assuming the flight meets the length requirements) for the purpose of meeting the requirements for the Instrument Rating?

I want to go fly some approaches (and a hold) on Sunday. I know from experience that it's likely that the ceilings will be too high to do any meaningful approaches in IMC, but high enough that I might be in IMC during the vectors to the approach or at the hold. I figured I could take along a...

I'm sure this has be hashed over many times, but I can't find it now. In the current issue of "IFR" (December, 2003), an editorial answer to a reader's question contained the following - (referring to a safety pilot requirements): ".... if you use a safety pilot and write that safety pilot's...

I belong to a flying club. Of the many club rules, one is that the pilot acting as PIC must be a club member. I can certainly see where this is necessary. However, the Chief Pilot for the club claims that the insurance company is requiring that a safety pilot for IFR practice must also be a club...

I rent and fly 172s out of Gainesville, GA (KGVL). I used to fly out of 47A and had a number of safety pilots available there (too far to be convenient for them now), but this FBO is fairly new and doesn't have a list put together yet of pilots that can safety for me. Anyone know of a good place...

If an instrument rated saftey pilot files an IFR flight plan on a VMC day, can the student inst. pilot legally log simulated instrument time while under the hood? The liability of the flight will rest entirely with the instrument rated saftey pilot. However, for the purpose of logging simulated...

I was just reading Don Brown's latest (6/22) on avweb: http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/189944-1.html This column is about NORDO IFR procedures. I like Don's columns and find their nitpickiness to be consistent with safe flying, if a little bit annoying. But in this column, two things stuck out...

Long CX IFR at 7000 Controller comes on "say Altitude" My response "7000" He says you show 300 feet lower and gives me the altimer reading. I confirm. He says "turn off you mod C" I comply.Look at my GPS which is at 7060. I go down 50 feet the gps stays at 7060. I go up 100 feet the gps stays...

We've been using www.youcanbookit.com for scheduling our airplane. So far it's been easy and worked great. The best part about it was it was a free/commercial based site. Unfortunately the site has gone down and the owner says it isn't likely to be put back online. What web based scheduleing...

USA Today says Crossfield missing in a 210 over Georgia in TS. Anybody have details?

I have no reason to make this post except that none of my coworkers understand my disappointment. I had to scrub my instrument checkride today because the aircraft I train in went in for a 50-hr inspection (my club's code-word for "oil change") and ended up with the door sent out to be welded....

Im new to IFR and was wondering what an SDF approach is. Thanks!

Those of you, who frequently fly SE airplanes without deicing equipment, without turbo or second engine but use their IR Ticket to poke around in water loaded clouds at or near freezing level: What are your strategies to cope with the weather ? Situation1: You climb through low clouds, but pass...

Hi Folks, Hope someone here can help. We have a helicopter that we want to be able to fly very accurately search patterns, like creeping line, expanding box etc. I cant find a GPS on the market that supports this natively, though in theory it wouldnt be hard to generate a GPX file with the...

Hi, I'm searching a video recorded in LIRP (pisa san giusto airport, italy) that have this characteristics: takeoff from 04R or land to 22L, not important if is recorded from cockpit or wing view. Please! If anybody have recorded a video with this characteristics, contact me at:...

I am sure this has been asked a hundred times, but can someone point me to a website that has a searchable archive of this newsgroup? I posted something last year (I think)...either here or on rec.aviation.owning...dealing with considering buying my next airplane. There were some really great...

Hi all, can you reccomend to me any flight school in the vicinity of New York/ Newark or Chicago where I could obtain affordable flight training (esspecially TIME BUILDING in C150/152?) and multiengine training (only Seneca) also practice in ifr SE and training in ME IFR. I already have...
