Hello to all ! I know this is stoneage history stuff but does anybody have a pinout for the Bendix T12D ADF reciever ? Any other info welcomed too. Henning DE

Anyone know how *exactly* the missed approach works at BGBW: http://www.slv.dk/Dokumenter/dscgi/ds.py/Get/File-833/AD_2_BGBW_NDB_DME_07-1.pdf Assuming your airplane can climb with a climb gradient of 6%, where and when can you descend to 1500 (note the table at the bottom) and where is your MAP...

I have a fairly new IFR rating and am wondering how much help to expect from ATC on Tstorm avoidance. Will they suggest re-routing or do you have to request it based on visual, FSS, or stormscope location?

Spins have NEVER been in the private pilot PTS. The PTS (Practical Test Standard) only has been in existence for around 20 years or so. The last time spins were required for a Private Certificate was back in the early 1950's or maybe the late 1940's. Note that there is nothing that prevents...

Anyone currently flying with a KNS-80 please contact me directly. Thanx. Bob Gardner

Our club is looking at upgrading a couple of airplanes to Garmin 430s, etc. It seems to me that standby vacuum would be a good thing to add, too. 1) Good idea? Do these systems really work? 2) Recommendations on type/brand/model? TIA

Weather radar. Which weather radar are you using for preflight? NOAA, AOPA, local news facility? Or any others? I am sure there are many of them. Hank

Awhile back I posted a program that would allow direct access to my hard drive. I now found a website that is hosting all my videos that someone may find interesting. If you go to http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=mbo you will see the listing of videos I uploaded. A summary of videos...

Hi there, Could somebody point me to the official FAA document that describes the calls required for all stages of an VOR/DME approach including the hold (beacon outbound / beacon inbound etc...) Thanks, Derek...

Apparently, if you file IFR HPN - MMU, you get a clearance which starts "CMK CMK275R SAX039R SAX" (i.e. fly outbound on the CMK 275 until you intercept the SAX 039, then fly that inbound to SAX). In the good old days of 2 VOR receivers, this is trivial to fly; the radios don't know or care that...

Everyone, I haven't posted much here, but when I have, the responses have always been educational. Hopefully my checkride account might prove useful to someone else. Thanks for all the help. Cheers, TW

It's been just about a year since I had gotten my IFR ticket, and have over 250 hours since, about 25 hours in actual. But, my personal minimums have been 1000 ft and 3 miles. Today (Knoxville, TN) we had perfect conditions to safely fly in the soup. (NO ICE) I got my instructor on board and we...

ples list your most usefull weather sites for use in Flt planning thanks

Hi All, Open question to folks, what strategies do you use to stay current or better yet, proficient? Check ride is right around the corner. I got signed off for the ride today. So the currency question is in the back of my mind now. Most of my flying is x-ctry (2/month) with some local scenic...

The Air Force manual "Air Navigation" is on line he http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/pubfiles/af/11/afpam11-216/afpam11-216.pdf This manual answers several FAQ that have come up that even some instructors have no definitive answer for. Examples of things contained in this pamphlet a How to...

Suffice it to say, the subject line says it all. Had to get the oil changed in my plane today, and I got a "bonus" of 300 foot ceilings and a full day off of work, so I'd figure I'd knock out a few approaches in actual conditions and getting the engine nice and hot before the oil change. Looking...

Recently, on a long cross country from Portland, OR to Wisconsin, we stopped at Helena, MT for a gas and pit stop. Coming from the West with the winds calm, I chose the loc DME BC approach to runway 9. Even though it's the capitol (is it capital?) of the state, there is no radar...

Ha! I bet you thought that this was going to be some porn spam. Well...perhaps not after the "Cold" bit grin. I'd a very nice "getting feet wet" flight today. I was in the clouds for roughly half the brief (two hour) (CDW-SWF-CDW) flight, I was in wet clouds watching the thermostat drop, and...

If you have been out of aviation for a time, there are some new terms to learn if you fly IFR. 1. RNav GPS which is lateral Navigation approach (LNAV) 2. Waas enable approaches or Approach with Vertical Guidance (APV) 2 a. LNAV/VNAV is Lateral Navigation /Verical Navigation (Not a precesion...
