Missed approach (?) when glideslope fails by
Yossarian
You are on an ILS approach, DH 200'. The localizer-only MDA is 500'.
You are at 300' in IMC when the GS fails. Assuming you are timing the
approach, is it legal to climb to 500 and continue the approach?

Holding Pattern Question by
Dennis Johnson
I'm probably over-thinking holding patterns and have become confused.
When given instructions to hold at a non-published holding pattern, ATC will
specify:
1. The direction from the fix, such as north, north-east, etc.
2. The name of the holding fix.
3. The radial, course, or airway on which...

Let a friend fly the plane. Legal? by
Doug
One of my students asked me if it is legal to let a friend fly his
plane. Student is legal PIC, not an instructor and the plane has dual
controls, his friend is an adult, but no license. But I have to admit,
although I don't know of any specific prohibition on this, I'm not sure
if I should tell...

WAC vs Sectional by
[email protected]
I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was
looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service.
What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts?
Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas? Are all the same
airports listed?
Thanks

Flyers,
This was part of a post in "Selling my Garmin 296" and decided to make it a

OLV GPS 36 approach question by
A Lieberma
Went out seeking some IMC time today. Severe clear at my home airport,
so took a trip from KMBO (Madison MS) to KOLV (Olive Branch MS)
Early morning clouds at OLV was 500 overcast, so I figured by the time I
got there, it would at least be broken. It wasn't the clouds that was
restricting the...

Buzzed? by
Mike Granby
So I'm flying IFR down V441 in Florida today, when I hear the
controller who's working me call traffic to a VFR airplane he's
providing with advisories. "Traffic, twelve o'clock, opposite
direction, very fast, same altitude, suggest you descend now." The 172
he's talking to descends in a hurry, and...

Safe, Single-Pilot IFR generalities by
Greg Farris
Here are some "general" tips for safe, single-pilot IFR, gleaned from
Larry Bartlett's refresher course. These tips do not represent the "meat
and potatoes" of the video course, but are thrown in at a couple of
points as generalities. How many agree with these :
1) No Single-Pilot, single engine...

WAAS for GNS 430/530? by

According to Garmin's product literature, the GNS 430 and 530 are
"WAAS-upgradeable", yet there is no information as to when this
upgrade might be available. Does anyone have any other information
on this?

More IFR with VFR GPS questions by

ORCA lower than MEA? by

There are some places on IFR enroute charts where the OROCA (Off-route
