Hi everyone, We have a vacation planned in September to Ocracoke Island. We'll be departing from Spartanburg, SC (SPA). I have flown to Ocracoke once before but that was VFR from the north. Any idea what routing to expect when IFR from the west? Richard

Just started looking at ASE requirements. I don't have to get _another_ 10 hours if I am already IA rated, right? Previous instrument training time has to apply here. ? FAR 61.129(a)3(i) Thanks.

I've been trying to use duats to file flight plans. The preferred route from PHL to Toronto CYYZ is ptw, then ptw 320 deg radial to intercept J64 RAV etc. I've tried various formats to enter this radial to a jet route format, but duats doesn't seem to accept it. Any one able to make this type of...

With the disappointing performance of FSS briefings lately, this weekend I tried filing an IFR flight plan through DUATS for the first time. I couldn't seem to find the correct syntax for what I know is ALWAYS the first thing leaving my home airport: "Farmingdale 3 Departure, radar vectors...

I tried something with my Garmin 430 yesterday that worked out well so I thought I would pass it along. I was doing a series of practice approaches to the area airports that are 10 miles or so apart. The problem was setting up for the next approach while climbing out from the last. With only a...

What about 8.33kHz, it was annonced for the CNX80, I read that they changed their mind and would add it to the GNS480 but together with an improvment of the transmitter output power. No news and no prices since. Any one hear something about that? thanks, Denis (LSGG)

Just found out that the 2MB card we've all been using to update our GX 55, 60's etc will *not* work for the next data update. Jepp (to its credit) will *give* you a new 4mb card in return for your old one, but *act fast* since they are overwhelmed with requests and the deadline is fast approaching.

Man, talk about ATC being nice to pilots. I was heading into Providence (RI) earlier today. Weather was VFR, but there was just enough cloud around that lots of instrument students were out chasing some benign IMC time (that's what we were doing). There's some guy who's obviously having trouble...
