Ok, I know this is one of those "it depends" answers, but I'm curious as to what folks are willing to do in the winter time. Assumptions: Single engine piston aircraft with NO de-icing equipment. Situation: It's wintertime. You want to fly XC and there are midlevel clouds in the

If this weather holds, it might be time for some of us newer IA pilots to get some actual time in! I realize in most locations the visibility is a little too low, but the season is definitely upon us... Anybody at SAC planning on getting some actual in???

Guy has an airplane, commercial certificate but no instructor rating and takes students up for acrobatic lessons, mountain checkouts and charges for it. FAA legal?

I thought for all of the GPS threads. Next year, 2006, the government mandate for GPS inclusion in cell phones starts. That means that eventually every cheap cell phone is going to have a GPS. GPS receivers are plentyfull now, but are getting set to proliferate into a commondity part. The time is...

For IFR practice, in the situation where both pilots are logging PIC, one as sole manipulator, the other as acting PIC, can both pilots log cross-country (assuming the flight meets the length requirements) for the purpose of meeting the requirements for the Instrument Rating?

When you buy a Garmin 296 or 396 in this country the unit comes with TAWS-like terrain for North and South America. There are two other terrain databases available, which are standard for units sold in those coverage areas, ATL (Atlantic, Europe, and Africa) and PAC for Asia and the west...

I'm considering a flight from Michigan to KISP on Long Island (some time this winter) in our club's Skylane IFR. (armed with a Garmin 396 for weather) I'm wondering what kind of routing I'm likely to get around NYC. Coming from Michigan I have a choice of Canada to Buffalo and down, or to...

I have a VFR only 172 and I am considering IFR training. I am looking for the most practical way to make my plane IFR certified and useful. At first glance, it appears to me that the Garmin 430 provides a LOT of useful information for relatively not much money. I have 2 questions though....

Peter wrote There are various documents such as the cert of airworthiness, and (for an N-reg in Europe) the FAA radio license, which some say need to be carried in original. The Radio License doesn't come from the FAA, it is isued by the FCC. Bob Moore

Does anyone know how a stormscope is able to sense the distance to the lightning ...

I'm wondering what the quickest (even thought it might not be the best way) to get to CP-AM/SEL rating. I'm already instrument rated, but haven't really started multi-training. I heard there is a way to take both the multi and single checkrides at the same time. Something about using the...

I'm going VNY-LAS. DUATS auto routing came up with a route that ends at OASYS on V394. Trick is, OASYS is not an IAF for any approach into LAS as far as I can tell. What should I do if I lose comm? A related question: some approaches into LAS have IAFs that I can't find on the enroute chart...

Hello ! I am currently reading a book about IFR flying. "The complete advanced pilot" by Bob Gardner. In the book, i came across the term "to shoot an aproach" What does that mean ? Can anybody please explain ?

Thanks, Jim! "Jim Burns" wrote in message ... For those of us who subscribe to the NACO charts (government charts, vfr or ifr), you can now do it online directly with the National Aeronautical Charting Office. Cheaper than...

I think I know the answer to this, but would like a second opinion. Does FAR 61.129 (a)(3) (iii) and (iv) really require an instructor ride along on these two long VFR flights? I have over 600 hours TT and an instrument rating and plan to obtain my commercial certificate. however, in reviewing my...

A student and I took off today IFR from HPN. Destination was FWN (Sussex, NJ). Rhumb line course is 42 NM at 294 degrees. Clearance was "Westchester 1, RV CMK, CMK 275R to intercept SAX 039R, SAX, direct FWN, maintain 3000, expect 4000 after 10 minutes". Departing runway 34, the SID is "climb...
