Flying through known or forecast icing by
John Doe
Ok, I know this is one of those "it depends" answers, but I'm curious as to
what folks are willing to do in the winter time.
Assumptions:
Single engine piston aircraft with NO de-icing equipment.
Situation:
It's wintertime. You want to fly XC and there are midlevel clouds in the

FAR Part 97: Aircraft Approach Categories - IAS vs Ground Speed by
Mark Hansen
I'm an Instrument Airplane student, and am having a disagreement
with my instructor on one topic - that of Aircraft Approach Categories.
According to 14 CFR Part 97.3 (b), it provides the speed ranges for
the different aircraft categories (A-E). In all the documentation I've
read, this "speed" is...

Ham sandwich navigation and radar failure by
David Brooks
Question for the enroute controllers. You have a spamcan or two, not filed
/G, cleared direct to some fix. You don't care whether they are navigating
with pilotage, a VFR GPS, or a ham sandwich, so long as they are on radar
and don't go too grotesquely out of the way.
Now the radar goes kaplooey,...

KLN-90B by
[email protected]
I am considering KLN-90B as replacement for my M-3 Approach. Question
for experienced KLN-90B users: Legality aside, can you operate
KLN-90B in approach mode (doing GPS approaches) with an outdated
database?
Thanks in advance,
Robin Hou

Parallel Track function in GPS? by
Roy Smith
Yesterday I played with the parallel track function in the CNX-80 for
the first time. I was introducing the CNX-80 to a student and I had
planned a VFR flight via airways. My student (rightfully) questioned
the wisdom of an over-water segment, so we decided to fly that segment
on a 5-mile offset...

GNS430 on the Airway by
[email protected]
Hello,
I was on the ground at an uncontrolled field. I got a clearance to
"On departure fly runway heading Radar Vectors xyz VOR Victor xxx abc
VOR"
Before leaving, I programmed the entire route into the GNS430. Since
it doesn't have airways, I "synthesized" them by just putting in the
VORs and...

Yesterday's IFR flight with questions by

Clearance with an Odd Intersection by

Has anyone received a route clearance that included an intersection that was

Flew IFR from FRG to GON with the following clearance: Farmingdale Three,
radar vectors BDR, direct MAD, MAD 126 radial to MONDI, direct.
For the life of me I couldn't...

I am just going through some King video FAA IR training material and

who does VOR "calibration" for most accurate VOR approaches? by
Greg
Hi,
I recently learned that VOR can be "calibrated" or adjusted to take
into account any error discovered at the 30-day check. For example, if
you need to set OBS at 44 to get centered CDI on the 42 radial from VOR
on airport checkpoint, and 219 to center CDI on the 222 radial, then
you record the...

Supercooled Water - More on Icing by
O. Sami Saydjari
This question is a question on physcial phenomena, NOT on regulation (so
I am starting a new thread).
As I understand it, icing happens between +2C and -10C. Assuming this
is correct, I have three questions.
(a) Does that mean one is relatively safe if the surface temperature is
below -10C (and...
