http://www.peter2000.co.uk/aviation/kln94-failure/ This unit has been working perfectly for four years, and works fine now. I had something like this happen to me on my first flight with such a unit (I've only used it a few times). It turned out to be that I had not turned the GPS on...

The CDC is looking just like the FAA Both falling apart(Reference KLEX crash) I wonder if Bull Dikes and former Black Female secretaries and inside the beltway stupidity is running this Government agency also? Political Correctness is killing our Government(Ex. Katrina, two lost space...

More proof the FemiNazi's and Bull Dikes are taking over Washington FEMALE head of DOT FEMALE head of FAA FEMALE Regional Administrators No White Males in site or being run off Further weakening of America and Government continues

The "Cheating the ILS" thread prompts my curiosity: I fly with a single G430 and rarely use the map display. Almost always I am set on the Nav1 "numbers" screen, which tells me pretty much everything I need to know. I have talked to a number of commercial pilots with lots of G430 experience,...

"FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said the crash of Comair Flight 5191 might have been avoided if the CRJ-100 had been equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B). Blakey told reporters at a news conference at UPS's headquarters in Louisville that ADS-B's LCD screen (not...

A Long time ago there was a Person selling CD's/DVD's with Copies of POH's from almost all General Aviation Aircraft Singles and Twins. Dose anyone know where this guy went? Been searching usenet archives with no luck in contacting the person! Thanks In Advance

Out here in the Rocky Mountain states, those of us who are instrument rated rarely get a chance to practice our skills in real IMC since "real IMC" usually implies either thunderstorms (summer) or severe icing condiditions and blowing snow (winter). However, today I was given a real treat by the...

This question is the result of the wrong runway issue at LEX last weekend. Not having flown an EFIS or EFMS myself, I'm not sure of the "into position checklist items". For example, in a standard steam-gauge panel one of the last things we check is to align the directional gyro with the runway...

For those FAA lovers who say the FAA is not at fault http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060831/EDIT01/608310315/-1/newscomaircrash

Hello, The other day, I was flyng the ILS into Stockton CA. Just for yuks, I set the GPS ( GNS430 ) to the approach - with the warning that it was for situational awareness and entertainment only :). Naturally, the indicator was set to VOR/LOC. Sliding down the approach, I had the...

I'm in the midst of doing two things.... 1)Becoming instrument recurrent. (Steam guage airplanes) 2)Getting checked out in a G1000 182. I'm planning to do the IPC in the Steam guage airplane with some additional instrument work in the G1000. My real question is how would you do the partial...

The BIGGER problem in the FAA exposed Congress and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association need to keep prodding the FAA to make good on its plan to train and hire enough competent controllers to meet the age-wave of retirements coming at it. About 70 percent of the current workforce...

If a Glide Slope is OTS at your IFR destination and you find out after departure what does it do for insurance on a corporate or private jet?

The way I read 61.57(d) (the requirement for an IPC), it's just an extra requirement that kicks in under certain circumstances. It's not a subpart of 61.57(c) (6 approaches etc in 6 months), and (c) does not have any exceptions related to (d). So if an IPC is essentially a checkride, it could be...

Sound Familiar? Let's see! What has the flying public found out so far about the Kentucky tragedy? We know FAA violated their own orders for minimal ATCT staffing at this location. We know the Veteran controller was being worked like a dog as many "Veteran and experienced" controllers and...

In primary and supporting method of attitude instrument flying, which do you consider the primary instrument for bank in the partial panel situation (loss of both attitude indicator and heading indicator)? Turn coordinator or magnetic compass? thank you Greg greggordon.org/flying

Check this out and let me know if you have any idea why this flight path is so strange. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/AIR1 Here is a normal looking flight path http://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA88

I hope the FAA has a very fat wallet LEXINGTON, Ky. - The lone air traffic controller on duty the morning Comair Flight 5191 crashed cleared the jet for takeoff, then turned his back to do some "administrative duties" as the aircraft veered down the wrong runway, a federal investigator said...
