Emergency paperwork by
Ron Garret
I declared my first ever emergency yesterday after encountering
unexpected ice. I only accumulated about 1/4 inch so it wasn't that big
a deal, but I lost my engine gauges (I fly an SR22), which included my
OAT, so I went ahead and declared so I could descend below the MEA to
shed the ice...

Need a 2nd nav with GNS 430? by
Paul Folbrecht
I am doing some preliminary planning of the panel for my RV-9A and
wondering if a 2nd nav is really a necessity with a GNS 430 in the
panel. Seems to me that flying IFR GPS, with mostly GPS approaches in
the near future, I should not have much need for a 2nd VOR receiver to
identify intersections...

Wet, Bumpy, and Cold by
Andrew Gideon
Ha! I bet you thought that this was going to be some porn spam.
Well...perhaps not after the "Cold" bit grin.
I'd a very nice "getting feet wet" flight today. I was in the clouds for
roughly half the brief (two hour) (CDW-SWF-CDW) flight, I was in wet clouds
watching the thermostat drop, and...

FSS on IFR Enroute charts by
kevmor
When looking at a VOR navaid box on an enroute chart, and it says the
FSS station frequency on top of the box, such as 122.1R, does that
mean receive only for them on that frequency or receive only for the
pilot? Does the pilot listen on the VOR and transmit on 122.1
(receive only for...

Moline, Illinois. Four approaches...all noted as not authorized for use as
an alternate. Hint: Don't file MLI as an alternate.

Gregory Kryspin
Can one do the six approaches and holding in VFR to maintain currency
without a view-limiting device or a safety pilot?

Garmin 430W/530W first impressions by
Viperdoc[_4_]
Rode back with my friend in his turbine Bonanza after the installation of a
530W/430W. We had a good chance to play with both boxes during the trip. As
before, they are very intuitive and relatively easy to operate.
The screen write rate is a lot faster than previously, and the plane
position...

Commercial 250nm VFR flight - all 3 landings on the same day? by
Jim Macklin
The long flight does NOT have to be on the same day, it is
acceptable to have a stop, but it must be as it says below
landings at three places, with one a straight
line of 250 NM. I would log the flight as stages, with the
citation of 61.129 in the remarks, with notes that it was a...

Mitty
Has anyone compared the training discs from ASA and King? Recommendations? I
am going to check out in a C182T/G1000 and may want to buy one of these. (I
have seen the Sporty's disc -- it is tourist stuff.)

Cancelling IFR in Bravo airspace by
Terence Wilson[_2_]
On a few occasions I have filed a departure procedure to a nearby
intersection just to get on top (comments section reads "IFR to VFR on
top"). After breaking out of the clouds and advising ATC of the bases
and tops, I usually cancel IFR and proceed "own nav" with flight
following. Which brings me...

Hardest approach flown so far by
Viperdoc[_4_]
Recently, on a long cross country from Portland, OR to Wisconsin, we stopped
at Helena, MT for a gas and pit stop.
Coming from the West with the winds calm, I chose the loc DME BC approach to
runway 9. Even though it's the capitol (is it capital?) of the state, there
is no radar...

FS: Child headsets from Sigtronics by
Kevin Chandler
I have two pairs. They work great. My kids just outgrew them. Make a real
offer on them (enough to warrant me packaging them up and shipping them) and
they will probably be yours.
