ILS sans identification by
[email protected]
Anyone have a reference for a requirement to identify an ils or vor
prior to it's use in the USA?
Secondly, is there any reference to the type of identification
required? For example, would checking that the primary flight display
is displaying the correct identifier suffice? Or is there...

XM Weather - Sirius merger with XM Radio by
Roy N5804F
Sirius is making headway in merging with XM Radio.
No one seemed to be asking at the Anti Trust hearing whether or not Sirius
will continue to maintain the XM aviation weather services.
Or if they do, at what cost to the users ?
I would imagine that this will be another User Fee that is going to...

MS Flight Sim by
Dennis Johnson
Greetings,
I think those who are arguing that flying MS Flight Sim isn't really
"flying" are on the losing side of the argument. Flying is flying, I don't
care if it's a Cub without an electrical system or a computer running MS
Flight Sim. As far as general procedures go, MS Flight Sim gives...

New IFR Currency requirements...! by
Dan[_1_]
So what does everyone think about the proposed new IFR currency
requirements? The major changes seem to be that 1 hour of cross-
country time will be required, along with six approaches, consisting
of BOTH precision and non-precision, and two types of holds.
Some of this can be completed in a...

Some Aviation News :) by
[email protected]
Cathay boss: "Young pilots don't think about pensions or medical care,
just want 777"
For the first time since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, all major U.S.
airlines are hiring pilots or recalling those laid off during the
industry's five-year downturn.
But the airlines are discovering that many of...

GPS approach in VFR wx at uncontrolled field by
BobKK47
Is there any reason, or regulation, that states that a pilot, flying
VFR, is prohibited in flying a GPS approach to an uncontrolled field
(assuming VFR conditions at the field), or must the pilot fly the
usual pattern to land?
Thanks.

squawk code 2000 by
Gordy
I just got back to the snow in upstate New York from Maui. We flew United
Airlines both ways. It was fun listening in on channel 9. I was surprised to
hear all the flights getting the same squawk code. Each flights was
instructed to squawk 2000 over the Pacific Ocean. Are all flights between...

jeppesen updates for the Garmin waas units by
me[_1_]
Did anyone come to a conclusion yet on the question of whether or not the
PCI adapter will still work to update the cards for the 430/530 waas units ?
Is it also confirmed that it uses a new card ?
Jeppesens web site is terrible ! try a search on the key word waas and it
comes up with zero...

How to be safely stupid by
scott moore
Interesting call today. I talked to S-TEC/Meggit. I am doing my
annual and wanted to cure a longstanding issue with my S-TEC 30
autopilot.
The issue was that when dimming the unit down, when you turn the
potentiometer below a certain value, the light on the S-tec 30
goes to full bright.
The S-tec...

What do you do in the real world? by
Ron Garret
Last night I flew from SJC to VNY. To my astonishment I was cleared
vectors to SNS, then direct VNY (despite having filed a more standard
routing) at 9000 feet. I knew perfectly well that the routing was going
to change because I've done that route a zillion times, and indeed, near...

off airway MEA's by
akiley
I'm wondering if there is a way to determine the minimum altitude
required for uninterrupted communication with ATC off airways? Do you
look at the closest airway and sort of interpolate the MEA? Do the
center and approach controllers have maps with these altitudes? I'm
assuming an MVA doesn't...

LPV Coming to Town by
Marco Leon
Damn. I thought I'd be good for a couple of years on not spending the
$1,700+ on the Garmin 430 WAAS upgrade. Now the airport mgmt at my homebase
(KFRG) says that we're on the fast-track to get not one but two LPV
approaches with one being to a runway with no current approaches. Should be...

I need to go to Downers Grove the week and am considering taking a 182RG from the local FBO here in Bentonville. I thought Schaumburg Regional might be close, but it shows OTS indefinitely on the web site I use. Next choice might appear to be Dupage. Anyone from around their with some suggestions?...

I passed my instrument checkride last Tuesday. I waited 2 months to
try and do the checkride from when my CFII told me to schedule it.
Problems with my examiner's medical, scheduling with another examiner,
then going back to the first one, and weather delayed it.
Here is how my IFR checkride went...
