TEC, can anyone use small words and explain this to me? by
Snowbird
OK, one thing I've never really understood is the point
of Tower Enroute Control. Maybe it doesn't apply much
here in the Midwest where there's space between TRACONs.
Can anyone explain this to me, using small words and speaking
slowly?
Specifically, when is this used, what is the benefit,...

initial fix an intersection by
SFM
Why is it bad flight planning to use an intersection for your initial fix on
your IFR flight?
My plan has two NAVs and an IFR GPS. So I have at least 3 ways to identify
the intersection granted doing it with one NAV is painful during departure
but it could be done. I curious to hear people...

Missed approach procedure... by
[email protected]
If the missed approach on the IAP says something like:
heading of 270 to 4000
Intercept the XXX VOR R-180
Direct to XXX VOR
What should you do if you get to R-180 before you get to 4000?
Keep climbing on 270 to 4000?

CFI logging instrument time by
Barry
A CFI with airplane single-engine rating but not instrument-airplane (not a
CFII) gives flight instruction to a private pilot. Part of the flight is in
the clouds, with the private pilot flying. Can the CFI log instrument time
under FAR 61.51(g)(2):

They gave plenty of explanation and warning when to expect the approach.
Just interesting, hardly...

who moved SAV, forgot to tell Jepp? by

As I was preparing for an angel flight to Savannah last week, I compared my out

approaches using the SAV VOR had changed, and what's more, the VOR itself had
moved about 5 miles west. No problem, just print new charts from...

Speaking of interference (BPL) by

I don't know how many are aware of the current push to implement
Broadband Power Line (BPL) high speed internet connections, but is has
some interesting ramifications.
Perhaps Jim has looked into this.

Jepp Charts - Subscription Only? by
Peter Gibbons
Went to my local pilot shop this week to pick up some new IFR charts,
and noticed a sign near the cash register that stated that Jepp charts
were now only available on a subscription basis through Jepp.
I've only ever used NOS charts, but had heard how good Jepp charts
were and was interested in...

Harlingen to El Paso by
Mike & Janet Larke
I was wondering:
If you filed GPS Direct Harlingen to El Paso you take a bite out of Mexico
around Big Bend, but gain 20-25 minutes no wind in the process. Wondering,
what, if any, problems are there in this sort of IFR flight plan?
Will a direct clearance even be available? I would assume(?)...

Refreshing the page will give you a new list. You

How much is a marker beacon receiver really used in IFR flying? I'm
building a new panel and need to decide if I want to include one or
not.
Appreciate your input.
