Garmin GPSmap 496 False Terrain Alert by
Ron Gordon
Do any of you fly into KADS with a Garmin GPSmap 496? I'm getting a false
terrain alert when flying the Rwy 15 ILS and am wondering if anyone else has
this problem. I'm working with Garmin to resolve this, but so far what they
have suggested has not solved the problem.
When flying the...

Leaving the community by
David Brooks
One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of
flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit. Most of my
flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically. I had
a most enjoyable flight with CJ - although he has since earned my...

Report Leaving Assigned Altitude? by
John Clonts
1) "N7NZ, cleared direct BMQ cruise 7000". Do I report subsequent descents?
E.g. "leaving 7000 descending 5000"? Then later "leaving 5000 descending
2000"?
2) Its VMC and I'm IFR to Temple, level at 5000. At 25 miles out I report
Temple in sight. "N7NZ cleared visual approach to Temple, remain...

Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC by
Mxsmanic
I fly from KLAX to KLAS, using the FMC to handle most of the flight.
With the routing I put in, the FMC decides on some default altitudes
and includes required altitudes for the arrival and departure
procedures I select. Part of what it does is to create a descent
schedule from the nominal cruise...

Diamond DA-40 with G-1000 pirep by

I got a demo flight in a Diamond DA-40 equipped with the Garmin G-1000 glass
cockpit this morning. We departed IFR from Tacoma Narrows and flew west for
some maneuvers. This plane was the second one out of the factory with the
G-1000. I had a difficult time maintaining my altitude; the altitude...

IFR with a VFR GPS by
Wizard of Draws
OK, I broke down and sprung for the Lowrance Airmap 2000c instead of the
1000. Wow.
Normally I rent a plane that has a panel-mounted IFR certified Garmin 430,
but that may change due to circumstances beyond my control in a few months.
Obviously I can't file /G IFR without a proper IFR GPS, but...

Procedure turn in Strong X-wind by
smackey
OK, I'm flying my local VOR-A which calls for an outbound heading of
252, then I'm suppoosed to turn 45 deg to 207 to begin the PT. But
there is a STRONG x-wind and I am already crabbed to about 215 to hold
the 252 outbound course. I assume I turn to something not quite
approaching 170 (45 deg...

GPS Altitude with WAAS by
Phil Verghese
I posted earlier about seeing differences of up to 500' between the
altitude shown on my Garmin GPS 196 (even while receiving WAAS) and my
altimeter. The GPS would consistently indicate higher than the
altimeter. Dan Luke suggested the cause might be non-standard
temperatures. After some more...

IFR use of handheld GPS by
[email protected]
I've seen other discussions get off topic and go on about handheld GPS
use under IFR. And people get all worked up about it. I know there is
a lot of history on this newsgroup, but I haven't followed most of it
(so don't lynch me, please).
It seems that a lot of pilots believe a handheld GPS...
