Boosting ICOM IC-A23 Handheld Aviation Radio by
CHANGE USERNAME TO westes
I recently purchased an ICOM IC-A23 radio, and I'm disappointed in its
pickup. It gets the weather channels fine, but the reception for both the
airport and airplane radios is poor. Aside from standing next to the
airport or being right under the airplane, do I have any options for
improving...

IFR hold short line at uncontrolled airports? by
Peter R.
Today I dropped an Angel Flight patient off at Massena, NY (KMSS), an

Using the 430 by
PaulaJay1
I tried something with my Garmin 430 yesterday that worked out well so I
thought I would pass it along.
I was doing a series of practice approaches to the area airports that are 10
miles or so apart. The problem was setting up for the next approach while
climbing out from the last. With only a...

Does anybody know of any airports in the New York City area with a GCO
installed? This is the new(ish) "4 click for ATC, 6 clicks for FSS"

I have to admit, both passive and active noise cancellation are excellent. I
was amazed at the performance in the loud and crowded hall. BUT, I did find
a problem with evaluating headset performance solely in a...

Any early turn takeoffs still around? by
Michael
There used to be takeoff minimums where a turn was required as soon as
possible after takeoff for obstacle avoidance reasons. Anyone know if
any such still exist or if they have all been phased out?

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.

Anyone know of a source of a simple timer for approaches? I had one
years ago that was very simple. It was round with two buttons, one to

are the West Bend and others that have a lot more features than I need.
