Lost comms after radar vector by
Mike Ciholas
I had a "discussion" with my instructor about lost comms in IMC after
a radar vector. To illustrate, consider this scenario (gratuitously
enhanced with specifics):
Depart BJC (Boulder, CO) for a flight to EVV (Evansville, IN). You
expect the flight to take 4:30. You depart at 1200Z. Once...

flying LPV with Garmin G1000 & King KAP140 WAAS by
[email protected]
I'm a little new to this airplane and tried to fly an LPV approach on autopilot.
I had the approach activated and was outside the FAF at approx 30 degree intercept, when I pressed AP, then APR. It turned on course properly but never captured the glide path. What am I doing wrong?
thanks

"Going for the Visual" by
O. Sami Saydjari
A while back, I was with an experienced pilot, IMC, descending to land
at my home airport. The airport is not in an environment where ATC will
give vectors to final. As we approached, ATC asked which approach we
wanted. He said that he was "going for the visual." The ceilings were
right at the...

PRN133 ranging now useable for SoL, at non precision approach level by
macpacheco
Since PRN133 was set healthy for WAAS corrections, its ranging was
kept at NM (Not Monitored) level, preventing its use for safety of
life applications, however in the last few days, its ranging improved
to UDRE 50 meters, which allows it to contribute for non precision
approaches.
With this...

Does an IPC count as a BFR? by

Okay, I've read the regulations and still can't figure out the answer to

do I need to get another BFR in 12 months or 24 months from now??

Mode S transponder display to ATC? by
paul kgyy
Is it normal practice for a Mode S transponder to display the aircraft
tail number to ATC?
I ask because I thought it did, but recently on flight following the
controller seemed to have difficulty getting my number correct over
the radio.
