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...

IFR hold short line at uncontrolled airports? by
Peter R.
Today I dropped an Angel Flight patient off at Massena, NY (KMSS), an
uncontrolled airport in the very north portion of NY state. The weather
was 50 feet above minimums and the ILS was the only way in.
Once the patient was safely in the warm terminal, I preflighting and
started up, only to...

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...

Narco DGO-10 by
Michael
Does anyone out there have installation data on the old Dog-10?
Also, I'm looking at driving one with a KNS-80 (basically the same
signals as all the other King stuff) and I know it can be done - but I
don't know how. If anyone out there has any information or a source
for the installation data,...

AvMap rail mounts by
Hankal
Rail mounts for Cessna 172 to accommodate AvMap GPS.
The specs state 13.5 inches on the rail.
I would think this interferes with the seat when moved forward.
Any comments?

RAIM? by
Roy Smith
I've been doing most of my GPS flying with a CNX-80, which doesn't seem
to suffer from loss of RAIM. Last night I was flying with a GX-60, and
got a RAIM warning when commencing an approach.
The GX-60 manual isn't real illuminating on what you're supposed to do
at this point. Presumably,...

I have to vent..
Was anybody else trying to watch the coverage of the d-day ceremonies ?

Garmin 430 "Approach Not Active" by
David
Yesterday I flew two approaches with my GNS 430, the RNAV (GPS) RWY 03
at KCHO, and the RNAV (GPS) RWY 24 at KROA. In both cases, the 430
reported "Approach Not Active" just s I reached the FAF (JAGAG at CHO
and HIBAN at ROA), and stopped sequencing. I am quite certain that I
activated both...

GPS approach safety case by
Julian Scarfe
10ish years after overlay GPS approaches were introduced in the US, we in
the UK still have no GPS approaches. There must be a considerable body of
evidence collected on accidents, incidents and anomalies over the period
that GPS approaches have been in use. In particular, there may be...

Tstorm avoidance by
PaulH
I have a fairly new IFR rating and am wondering how much help to
expect from ATC on Tstorm avoidance. Will they suggest re-routing or
do you have to request it based on visual, FSS, or stormscope
location?

Honeywell KFC-225 autopilot - what could cause this failure? by
Joerg
Hi Peter,
The mpeg didn't play for me but just a few thoughts:
Since they say they couldn't reproduce it on the ground, could this be a
noise issue? Possible sources would be the radio, a transponder
transmission, engine ignition, maybe a motor driven trim, fuel equalizer
pump if you have one....

how to get NACO online charts conveniently? by
Dave Butler
It's great that the charts are now "free" online at http://www.naco.faa.gov/ but
it seems to take a lot of my personal time to figure out which charts I need.
I used to just carry the paper charts with the knowledge that if I had to
divert, I had all the charts for all nearby airports.
How do you...

Accelerated Training Recommendation by

I'm looking to do an accelerated IFR course. Every now and then I see
a small thread about it. If I do a google search, I get dozens of

they thought of it, where and approx how much.
I've seen some of the big schools offer them...

Jepp no longer in the GA business...? by
John Harper
I went to get my new IFR charts today and my local pilot shop told me they
will no longer be carrying Jepp products. I know that some places have
already stopped, but at PAO/RHV they thought up until a few days ago that
they would be able to carry on.
Seems someone at Jepp has had the brilliant...
