Seeing several recent posts on icing situations, I was struck with a curiosity of how much a part of watching for ice accumulation becomes a part of your scan, for those of you who have flown into potential icing conditions. I've seen a lot of postings, regarding icing, and the places to look for...

Instrument rated pilot (Joe), without complex endorsement, acts as a safety pilot for another instrumented rated pilot (Bob), in Bob's complex airplane. Reg's regarding "general" safety piloting state that both can log PIC time, given an agreement is made that the safety pilot is responsible for...

This, by no means is as exciting or interesting as some of the other threads I have followed, but serves as a constant reminder to me, how quickly things can change! Wanting to get my plane down to Cameron Park before Feb 1. for an annual, I determined that yesterday was probably my best...

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???

Hello I'm staying for some months in Mojave, and would like to use the opportunity to get my instrument rating while in the US. In order to prepare myself (for the written test as well as for the whole ifr stuff generally), I would like to do some home-study before travelling to the US. What...

Hello All, There has been much discussion here about the obvious benefits of redundant systems, engines, vacuum, electrical etc., when flying in IMC. We've also read NTSB reports of crashes of very well equipped planes where the pilot did not make use of redundant instruments. As for myself and...

What is the proper phraseology to alert the controller that you are being vectored through the localizer? I'm thinking something like: Approach, N12345 vector through localizer? Thanks, Tom

Hi all, a question that has probably been asked before, but I couldn't find it in Google: Is it allowed to use an IFR-approach-certified GPS instead of a DME in a LOC-DME or VOR-DME approach that does not have a GPS-overlay? Thanks!

Peter, I am wondering whether the European terrain database is any good. First, the nitpick ;-) It is not TAWS, but a terrain database. TAWS is something certified. Second: Both the units from Garmin (296 and up) and those from Lowrance (Airmap 600c and 2000c) come in a...

According to press reports to date, no less than 6, perhaps more, commercial jet aircraft potentially carrying hundreds of passengers per trip and sometimes on multiple trips per day - had cracks in them. Had cracks in them. And people at the FAA, and Southwest, knew it. And the planes had...

This is the norm as the FAA EXPANDS its Civil rights and non-safety overhead http://themainbang.typepad.com/blog/2008/03/sorry--.html#comments

Hi Please, does anyone know where I could get a 1999-2001 copy of the FAA procedures regarding Section 6. Interception Procedures? Example Link: http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/ATpubs/AIM/aim0506.html B.Rgds, Scott

More Proof the FAA is EXPANDING Civil Rights and Management staff at FAA D.C. HQ while CUTTING Air Traffic controllers and technicians. Remember, Air Safety is no longer important at the FAA. Expanding worthless D.C. Empires and Civil Rights staff(SCAMS)while ****ing away American tax money...

Were they the wide cord butcher props? Perhaps they spin slower? Mine are electrically heated but only the inboard third or so. (seneca) Peter wrote: The other day I was talking to a commercial pilot of a big twin passenger turboprop. He has been iced up a few times and recently was down...

If you are an independent plane owner or like to fly in smaller plane's, what might be a good idea is to get your hands on R.H. Tuttle Jr.'s new epic Novel, "The Masconi's", to read after you have taken your plane for a nice flight! Only inteligent people like to broaden their horizons by taking...
