Finding IAPs by TYPE?

wrote:

Thanks for the info. The Volume tab is better than the state or airport ID
than I was looking through. It's still a bit tedious, since I'm equally close to
NE-3, SE-1, SE-2, and WV. Each one of those four has on the order of 600 documents
spanning 20 pages of non-searchable HTML. I can't find how to say, "Gimme all these
on one page" or "Export list to text" or something. I'm sure the info is available
out there, but I haven't found it.

They have a statement at the bottom of each Volume page about various converters.

Just for testing, I created an Acrobat file with AK-1 and ended up with a great search
engine.

Hello all... I was looking through the online instrument procedures, trying to
find a VOR/DME RNAV approach to do the flight test portion of my KNS-80 IFR
certification. They aren't that prevalent, and I'm in Virginia, but basically equally
close to WV, KY, TN, and NC, which spans a number of sets of plates. I figured online
would be a good way to find one that's close, but none of the sites I've found (AOPA,
NACO.faa.gov, flyguides.com, etc) sort by anything other than identifier. Anyone know
of a place to sort this database by type? Buying a slew of paper plates just to
manually thumb through them and find RNAV approaches seems a bit silly.

Thanks! I forgot you'd put some approach plates on your site. I figured that
someone with the raw data had done it. Exactly what I was looking for.

Now, why was I thinking that there are enough of these approaches to be worth
the effort in certifying it?....

Agreed... with one addition. The "old-school" flying basically uses the chart
to filter this information. Looking at the chart that you presumably have folded open
to where you are limits the scope of things you can look up to things nearby. I'm not
sure there's a good answer to it.... typically problem finding a good way to filter
through of too much information with a minimum amount of interraction.

I made a common database of all FAA IAPs. Out of some 14,000 IAPs, there are 228 VOR/DME
RNAV IAPs.

In case you miss my other message there are 228 of them.

I'm not that good. I'd thought about doing something like that awhile
ago but I hadn't gotten around to it. After I read your request this
morning I decided to quickly whip together something simple. It's
easier for me to work from an example. (Plus I'm avoiding studying for
my final exam tomorrow...)

BTW, the compilations should work for that list now. (I noticed you had
a problem with it earlier. It wasn't dealing well with compiling plates
for multiple airports.)

Did you try searching for just "RNAV" approaches? There are a bunch
more.

I just find it comical that throughout my avionics upgrade, many people
categorically gave the knee-jerk reaction to install a Garmin 430 or 530
and that the
KNS-80 was "obsolete junk." Apparently, if you don't fly behind a color,
moving-map,

I'm with you all the way... when I finish upgrading my panel at the end of
this year, I will retain every form of navigation known to piston general
aviation: VOR, KNS-80 VOR/DME RNAV, ILS, LDA, SDF, ADF, GPS, Loran

There is a VOR/DME RNAV approach to CRW (Charleston, WV); I fly it
occasionally with students in my airplane. When you fly the approach,
admire the approach lighting system built on bridges through the mountains..
quite an impressive engineering feat.

What ALSes are those? The only I find for CRW are for the ILS 23. The
Rho/Theta approaches go to 15 and 33.

The more, the merrier. Redundancy is a good thing... and keeps you fresh on
everything if you play with it all all the time. It's frightening to think of all the
pilots out there (VFR or IFR) that get in, mount their hand-held color,
moving-map GPS-295 to the yoke, punch direct-to and never look at anything else until
they're on short final.

I've noticed that... maybe next time I fly up to Ohio to see family I'll shoot
the approach on the way through for the certification checkout.
