Making a VFR C152 IFR by
Paul Folbrecht
I've just purchased a '79 152 that is currently VFR only. Avionics
consist of a single nav/com and xponder. That's it.
At some point in the next year or two I am going to want to get my
instrument ticket in this aircraft, so I'm already starting to think
about the best way to do that. Trouble...

Question: DP altitude vs MCA/MEA by
Doug Easton
Here's a question for the group from a low time ifr pilot...
The HASSA4 DP out of Ontario, CA specifies a minimum climb gradient that
would take you over the POM vor at 4400ft and then out V197 to the PMD vor.
The MCA for the POM vor nw bound on V197 is 8300ft and the MEA for that
segment is...

ADF Required by
Ted Timmons
When an approach specifies ADF REQUIRED (as in Rochester, NY KROC ILS RWY 4
or VOR RWY 4) is there any legal way to fly the approach without an ADF?
It appears to me that the only reason for the ADF requirement is for the
missed approach. Can the approach be flown leagally by requesting...

Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA) Standards by
O. Sami Saydjari
MSA is defined in the AIM as "altitudes depicted on approach charts
which provide at least 1,000 feet of obstacle clearance." So, if an MSA
is 3000 ft, does that necesarily mean that there is at least one
obstacle in the area that is 2000 ft tall or could there be some other
reason for the 3000 ft...

Route planning question by
Paul Tomblin
I'm planning to fly up to Oshawa Ontario next week (from Rochester, NY).
This will be my first flight there since I got my instrument rating. The
en-route chart shows an airway A21 going from the St. Catherines NDB to
Oshawa NDB. I have to confess that nothing I've read has ever said
anything...

Declared "minimum fuel" by
O. Sami Saydjari
My POH says that I have 72 gals of useable fuel (Piper Turbo Arrow III).
How do I really know if it can burn all 72 gals before running out?
Could it be 70? 68? Does the number change if I am climbing,
descending, cruising, or in turbulence? I would imagine it would be
affected by attitude.
I...

Transmissions? by

I fly out of an uncontrolled airport on the cut out of Class C airspace.
Once airborne beneath 1200 feet I contact Approach.

This is one transmission. Hangar talk tells me that is not necessary to...

Next? by
Wizard of Draws
Like Cecil, I'm finishing up my IFR rating soon. That has me wondering
what's next. I don't have any desire or time to become a CFI, and I have no
intention of becoming a commercial pilot in any sense of the word. I've
thought that I might like to take a few lessons in a taildragger, but I'd
need...

Why is ADF or Radar Required on MFD ILS RWY 32 Approach Plate? by
S. Ramirez
Does anyone know why the Mansfield OH MFD ILS RWY 32 approach plate has ADF
or Radar Required written on it?
There is speculation on another forum that ADF is required to establish the
FAF for the localizer approach, but I argued that it is not required for the
ILS approach, since intercept of the...

finally got my Instrument Rating in Kansas by
Bob Gardner
In his book "WeatherFlying," Captain Bob Buck offers this advice:
First, fly from good weather to good weather; ceilings should be 1000 feet
or higher, tops 7000 feet or lower. Takeoff and landing, of course, are in
VFR conditions.
Second, bad weather to good weather...take off into an overcast,...

JEPP Chart Users by
Ross Richardson
I need help. Jepp charts sometimes uses the word (Conditional) on their
charts. For instance, Hot Springs, AR (KHOT) ILS Rwy 5, under the ILS
DA(H) is the (Conditional) word. The government chart does not have
this. What does it mean? I cannot find the definition in the Jepp

NavCanada chart subscriptions by

I have a NavCanada chart subscription. My problem is that I can't

Pop-up IFR from Clearance Delivery by
Andrew Sarangan
Can Clearance Delivery (through an RCO on the ground) give a pop-up
IFR instead of Approach? So far I have found that they ask me to call
Approach when airborne, or file with FSS. Is there an operational
consideration that prevents CD from giving a pop-up?

Anybody know where there are some recordings of IFR clearances for
