Maria,CA, I would like to start descending below 1700 feet prior to
reaching PATER, in order to facilitate a...

ATC Altimeter Settings by
O. Sami Saydjari
When entering an ATC region, we often get an altimeter setting, usually
at some fix. So for example, when entering the Chicago center ATC
region, they say something like, "Midway altimeter is xx.xx." I have
some questions.
1. So, do they pick some fix for the region and give everyone...

Flying IFR with Garmins by
Robert M. Gary
I just recently decided to buy our first Garmin GPS (296). I had not

fixed that with the 296. However, the one outstanding item missing on
the 296 are airways. On my Skymap IIIc I can easily fly an airway by

FAA letter on flight into known icing by
C J Campbell
There was an earlier thread on whether it was legal to fly an airplane under
part 91 into known icing if there was no specific prohibition against it in
the airplane's operating handbook. I asked the Seattle FSDO what their take
was on the issue. This is their reply:

Requirement to fly departure procedures by
[email protected]
I was always under the assumption that if my atc clearance received on
the ground was direct to a fix, I was free to forgo the departure
procedure and do an immediate turn after takeoff. I note that FAR
91.129, Operations in class D airspace states that:
"(g) Departures. No person may operate an...

Single engine piston aircraft with NO de-icing equipment.

It's wintertime. You want to fly XC and there are midlevel clouds in the

Around here (Mobile. AL), I never hear it, although there are plenty of

Is there something...

and instructions while...
