Hello, I had a fun trip Friday 02-18-05 during the day I went from KVUO to KDLS to 63S "Colville Municipal Airport" 3.6 hours that drop off "cliff" at the end of 19 is very interesting. Well went to see a relative I hadn't seen for a long time was a fun day and ended back at my airplane about 7pm...

Hi, i would like to buy a used Jeppesen Instrument Pilot Manual Please contact me if you are selling yours. thanks )

Last year the FAA sent me a copy of a new IFR textbook. The construction of the book was such that while reading and underlining over one-third of the pages came loose. I found many editing mistakes, conflicting explanations and such a mixture of alphabetic acronyms that I was constantly making...

Here's a kinda stupid question for SF Bay Area pilots. Today is a nice day for some practice approaches in actual. We've got ceilings in the 1800-2000 level, stratus, no precip or wind, generally benign. Okay, so I thought I'd head over from PAO and log some approaches at the usual suspects:...

A couple of related questions. You'll want to get your southern California approach plates out to follow this. 1. The preferred tower-enroute IFR routing from VNY to SNA ends at SLI, but SLI is not an IAF for any approach into SNA. What should you do if you lose comm before ATC starts to vector...

Has anyone used the Anywhere Weather XM_WX dual blue tooth system? If so what do you think about it? Thanks Steve

AOPA have experts to help with crafting a formal response with statistics, etc. Have someone contact them.

Anybody know what the limitations are on flying IFR with passengers in a single-engine under a single-pilot, single-aircraft part 135 cert? Thanks for any info, I can't glean it from reading part 135.

I am ready to start working on my IFR training. I took an intensive weekend crash course to pass the written and got a 93%, so that's out of the way. My CFI for my private was fabulous, but he was a real drill sergeant. He's also no longer in the area. I have read Joe Campbell's IFR Diary and that...

Has anyone received a route clearance that included an intersection that was only on an approach chart and not in an Enroute Chart? Flew IFR from FRG to GON with the following clearance: Farmingdale Three, radar vectors BDR, direct MAD, MAD 126 radial to MONDI, direct. For the life of me I couldn't...

The FAA, AOPA, Sporty's etc. have good "point and click" HTML (web browser) interfaces to US Terminal procedures but don't seem to allow FTP access. Does anyone allow FTP access to the TPP's? This would make it a bit easier to write a shell script that could download and print TPP's for a list of...

I got the following from the FAA on their email broadcast.. its normally the way they send out info about local safety seminars.. Interesting how they are addressing a local traffic issue on a national level.. prudent? or overkill? Dave Teterboro Airport Operations & The Teterboro 5 Departure

I am a 300+ hour private pilot living and flying in the NYC area (specifically Caldwell NJ / Teterboro). I am interested in taking an accelerated instrument course and have been attracted to the PIC 10 day course and other similar 10 day courses. I already have about 10 hours of simulator time...

Thanks for all the good advise. I'll be making this a 2 day trip, stopping in KS for an overnight, then a short morning flight to SAF to arrive early in the day. Can't wait! In article , " wrote:

I guess I've been living under a rock. I wanted to update the VFR GPS in the panel to an IFR model. I started getting quotes on recon GNC 300XLs. The units themselves were about 2,500-3,000. I was shocked to find out that I had to install an annunciator, a new indicator and approx 30 hrs...

I'm close to finishing my IFR. I did most of my training at night but didn't get much IMC. Two out of the past 3 flights were in solid IMC. Fortunately the night training was pretty good and I've become somewhat comfortable quickly after the past 4 hours of IMC or so. The plan was to do my...
