Temporarily deviating from IFR by Mxsmanic
You're flying happily over the desert in your small plane, in bright, clear weather, on your IFR flight plan. You notice a plume of smoke a short distance away at your nine o'clock, and looking more carefully, you see what looks like a stranded car with some people standing around it. You'd like...

MOCA and STAR by Larry R[_2_]
Ok, I am trying to brush off some of the rust and getting some recurrent training. The task was to plan a flight, KLOU-KLEX-KJVY. (Louisville,KY). So, I looked up the STAR Clegg2 ( http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0702/00697CLEGG.PDF), and the charts. Clegg2 *seems* to make the KLOU-KLEX simple- just...

Autopilot use during approach by Ron Gordon
I've moved up to a new plane that includes an S-Tec 50 autopilot. It has several very capable modes ranging from Wings Leveler, Track a Heading bug, Follow NAV input, Hold a set Altitude, and approach mode which tracks NAV input more closely. What do the regs say about the permissible use of an...

IFR GNS 430 with expired database by Jose
I have been told that it is illegal to fly IFR in an aircraft that has an operating IFR rated GNS 430, whose database is out of date, =even= if it is placarded INOP, placed in the OFF position, and the airplane, even without the 430, is otherwise legal for IFR. True? Jose -- Get high on...

530W wind computation by bsalai
On a recent flight from KROC to KUUU (Newport RI), a great place to visit by the way, another guy from our club and I tried to use the wind computation function on our recently upgraded 530W. We could enter the data easily enough, but it didn't do the calculation. It just shows 0 kts at 000...

Anyone ever hear this from a controller by Kobra
Flyers, I was flying IFR in VFR conditions and from NJ to Kissimmee, FL (KISM). As I was approaching KISM the controller asked if I wanted to do a visual approach or the ILS. Since I was in unfamiliar surroundings and wanted to practice an ILS I said, "I'll take the ILS." As I waited for the...

Step Down or Track Glide slope on GPS overlay approach by Mooney
I have just recently acquired a Garmin 430/WAAS for my Mooney 201. In practicing approaches to familiarize myself with the unit, I went up with an instructor to get some advice/tips. I had flown a GPS overlay approach (NDB/GPS Runway 5 KLWM, Lawrence MA) previously in VFR conditions and tracked the...

I don't know how to flight plan any more by Paul Tomblin
I'm flying to Pittsburgh this weekend, and as usual I'm going to KAGC (Allegheny County). But for a change, instead of taking the club's Lance I'm going to be taking the Dakota - and unlike the Lance, the Dakota has a Garmin 530W in it. Now normally, I'd pull out the route I have on my PDA in...

G1000 no 3 letter identifier on ILS. Why? by STICKMONKE
The other day I flew an ILS into KCNO. The G1000 did not decode the Morse code and the 3 letter identifier did not appear. I was not in IMC and I did not manually listen to the Morse code. The ATIS did not indicate a problem. The localizer and glide slope appeared good. My question. What are...

How do you do a hold on a 530W? by Paul Tomblin
I know the Garmin 530W will lead you through a published hold, such as on the missed approach, but is there any way to get it to lead you through an ad hoc en-route hold, like when ATC tells you to hold at a certain VOR? It looks like if I hit the OBS button it will stop sequencing, but what can I...

KLN94 Question by kevmor
I'm learning to use the KLN94 IFR GPS and was wondering about using the ALT button to set the current altimeter setting. I can see why it would use this for VNAV, but is it required to set it for normal non- precision approaches? I think the only thing I've read in the manual so far was it helps...

I know I can find them at various web sites, please don't bother to respond to tell me about them. Here's what I'd like: given an airport identifier, say "KLHZ", I'd like an programmatic, algorithmic way or a table lookup to find all the NACO approach chart URLs,...
