Word is that JZI is getting a new ILS and it should be published in the next cycle or two. Anyone know where I can preview the approach ? SK

Thank you for the reply. Where do you find the SID? Are they provided for the larger airports? Cheers, Derrick "David Megginson" wrote in message ... Derrick Early wrote:

I've been using On Top 8 as my IFR training sim, and it's not bad, but I have two problems with it: 1) It is terribly oversensitive in pitch (with my CH yoke at least) and there seems to be no way around this. 2) My main machine is a dual G5 PowerMac and I'd be much happier with a Mac sim. ...

Hi! I have a SL30 and a GNS 430 in my plane. They use the same antenna via a splitter. When I dial in the same VOR in both units the SL30 catches up the radials always between 20 and 50 nautical miles earlier than the GNS 430! (Altitude about 3000 ft, flat area) Is this normal? What is your...

I had bid on a GNS430 and lost. A day after, an email stating the winner did not complete the transaction and I was being offered a "second chance offering". The email looked good, had "eBay" sort of format, but was a fraud; the buyer had completed the transaction. A week later, I won a bid on a...

Took off Saturday morning at 6:30 still very dark. Got my IFR clearance in the air and soon was in solid IMC. Some clouds were nasty black. Got course deviation don't like to bounce my plane around. 2 hours into the flight the clouds were not as nasty. 30 minutes later I landed at SGJ for fuel....

I had reported on my trip to Georgia a few days ago. Now the rest of the story. I used Airnav for the cheapest fuel stops. Also used it to get my motel at Days Inn with the discount on Airnav. When I called for my reservation the gentle man quoted a price of $71.00. I told him I could get a better...

During the summer months, during which the stratus sits off the Northern California coast threatening to move inland, the KSFO ATIS frequently contains a comment that reads "FG IN GAP W". Via empirical observation, I'm assuming that this means that there's fog in the gap between the hills due west...

BFM is a Class D airport. The ILS 32 http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0406/00268I32.PDF and VOR 18 plates say "Obtain local altimeter on CTAF." Why in the world would they say that? The local altimeter is available on the ATIS or ASOS 24/7. Another plate says "When control zone not in effect: ......

I was flying into KSNY (Sidney, NE) after shooting an approach into KAKO (Akron, CO) and requested the VOR DME Rwy 12 approach. I told center that I wanted to do the full approach complete with the DME arc, as I needed practice with these (currently an instrument student). The controller cleared me...

Does anyone know if a site that provides an "offline" version of the GPS nearest airport function? I'd like to be able to enter a given city and find the nearest aiports to that city. Yahoo's SmartView will find larger airports (I'm guessing those with airline service), but it misses the smaller...

These are shown on the LL enroute chart by little brown circles connected by a line. The legend says "substitute route, see NOTAMs". There are several originating from the DQO VOR near the Washington DC area, but there could be others as well. I have never noticed these before. Any ideas what they...

Well, my 152 is properly equipped & IFR certified now and I've decided to commence my IFR traning shortly. I'd like to get opinions on study materials. I really like the Jeppeson texts I used for my PPL but my mind is open. (But, I have to say that the Kings happen to drive me nuts!) TIA.

Hi all. Just got back from a Doug Carmody class...www.safepilot.com. Intensive week, came with 20 hours, and finished up with a checkride today. Great course, heavy in a very advanced simulator...no motion, but great visuals. Can't say enough good about the experience, and if anybody asks I will...
