Contact Approach -- WX reporting by [email protected]
It was briefly mentioned in one of the longer threads that a contact approach requires 1 sm reported ground visibility. It reminded me that I had flown a contact approach some 8 months ago to an airport about 15 minutes after the tower had closed (there is no automated weather available) and...

Question on airplane's IFR capability by Slav Inger
I'm planning on transitioning from a PA-28-181 to Diamond models (DA20C1 and then to DA40). I'd like to use the DA40 for longer trips and DA20 for putzing around the airport practicing IFR approaches, possibly in IMC. There isn't a question as to DA40's IFR capability, but I'm running into a bit...

Instrument Rating Checkride PASSED (Very Long) by Alan Pendley
Instrument Rating Checkride PASSED After many months of study and training, I flew my Instrument rating checkride on 10 December 2004, and passed! What a relief! I am now the proud recipient of a Temporary Airman's Certificate with an Instrument Airplane rating.

The joke called TSA by Spockstuto
Your tax dollars at work HARTSFIELD ORDEAL Our sympathies go out to anyone caught in the incredible mess at Hartsfield International Airport on Saturday. I'm told that literally thousands missed flights because there weren't enough TSA screeners on duty to get the job done. Here is just one of...

Instrument departure, non-IFR airport by [email protected]
Recently I tried to depart from an non-tower airport that has no instrument approach procedure, and hence no instrument departure. I was told that I could not get a clearance on the ground, even with VIFNO etc., and that I would have to depart VFR and pick my clearance up while airborne. The...

Instrument Check Ride - What navigation equipment can I use ? by Roy N5804F
I have started another thread to get a consensus of opinion about what navigation equipment I will be allowed to use on my instrument check ride. Recently I installed in the Archer a complete new Garmin left stack including the GNS530. I kept one of the old KX170B's and its glideslope indicator...

Contact Approach by Russ MacDonald
Being from Texas, and flying mostly in the Midwest and South, I have never asked for nor had any need for a contact approach. If I see the runway I tell the controller, and he gives me a visual. In fact, I can't remember ever hearing a contact approach requested around here. Then, I whenever I...

Best Single Pilot IFR Plane by Charles Talleyrand
There must be people on the newsgroup that fly single pilot IFR on a regular basis. These people have a schedule to make and would rather not miss that schedule unless necessary. These people don't have the need to carry many passengers, but just themselves. My question is for these people...

FAR Part 97: Aircraft Approach Categories - IAS vs Ground Speed by Mark Hansen
I'm an Instrument Airplane student, and am having a disagreement with my instructor on one topic - that of Aircraft Approach Categories. According to 14 CFR Part 97.3 (b), it provides the speed ranges for the different aircraft categories (A-E). In all the documentation I've read, this "speed" is...

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?

Lonely up there? by paul kgyy
It appeared to be a long time since last hearing from ATC on a recent flight, and sure enough, "27D can you still hear us?". I still could, and they transferred me to a local approach control. Anybody ever just call them up to see if they forgot about you? I did that once over Toledo.

KAP140 Autopilot Details by News
I have a question about some nuances of the Bendix/King KAP 140 autopilot. Since the ink is still wet on my IFR rating (actually I have not even gotten the new one in the mail yet!) I am working on a personal "post checkride" syllabus. Part of this self training is to fly different routes on an...

After that we planned to fly to 4N1, Greenwood Lake, before returning to CDW. Partial panel holding had...

Ham sandwich navigation and radar failure by David Brooks
Question for the enroute controllers. You have a spamcan or two, not filed /G, cleared direct to some fix. You don't care whether they are navigating with pilotage, a VFR GPS, or a ham sandwich, so long as they are on radar and don't go too grotesquely out of the way. Now the radar goes kaplooey,...
