DME req'd on ILS (not ILS-DME) approach? by
Don Faulkner
Hi folks. I've got a bit of a puzzle here.
First off, I'm a student pilot, so maybe I haven't gotten to this yet.
Take a look at the ILS 18 plate for Springdale, AR (ASG):

First, note that the approach is "ILS RWY 18"

X-Plane for IFR training? by
Paul Folbrecht
I've been using On Top 8 as my IFR training sim, and it's not bad, but I
have two problems with it:
1) It is terribly oversensitive in pitch (with my CH yoke at least) and
there seems to be no way around this.
2) My main machine is a dual G5 PowerMac and I'd be much happier with a
Mac sim. ...

LPV versus LNAV/VNAV versus LNAV+V by
Wyatt Emmerich[_2_]
Searching the newsgroup archives, I have been unable to find the technical
distinction between LPV, LNAV/VNAV and LNAV+V approaches. I do not mean the
legal and procedural differences. I mean what are the technical differences
of the GPS that makes one more accurate than the other. In other...

VOR approach SMO by
Robert M. Gary
The other day I shot the VOR approach into SMO for the first time in
low actual. I've often looked at that approach as one of the most
difficult I've seen published so it was interesting to actually try
it. The weather was 008OVC with something like 3sm HZ. I touched down
about 3/4 down the runway...

Garmin 1000 turn co-ordinator? by
John H. Kay
Hi.
How do the new glass cockpits (Garmin or Avidyne) indicate rate of turn,
and also whether the plane is slipping or skidding?
I know we can do the simple rule of thumb sum for standard rate turns,
giving the approx. bank angle for the speed we're using, but we're all
trained to check the...

Flying IFR with Garmins by
Robert M. Gary
I just recently decided to buy our first Garmin GPS (296). I had not
in the past because they were so far behind on providing terrain. They
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
putting the white...

In the following approach (VOR/DME or GPS-A),

How long to keep VOR check records? by
Ross Oliver
So here's a question I had never thought of until getting my
instrument rating and owning an IFR-equipped aircraft: how long
should records of VOR checks be retained? Do they need to be
retained at all? Can the FAA come to me and ask, "Remember that
IFR flight to SLO you made 2 years ago? Show...

Non-published hold with Garmin 430W by
Evan Salant
There's not a lot in the user's manual about how to set up a non-
published hold using the Garmin 430W. Lets say you are on a
flightplan with SBJ VOR as one of your waypoints and ATC needs you to
hold on the SBJ 160 radial right hand turns one minute legs. Is
there anything to simplify this...

Inaccurate airspeed indicator by
Wyatt Emmerich
I had a my two-year transponder/static system check while visiting my mother
in San Antonio. When I departed, I noticed the airspeed didn't come up like
it should. I attributed this to shifting winds and assumed I had a slight
tailwind. Then in cruise, I did my normal operating performance check....

Thumbing through a 1962 FLYING magazine, I came across an advertisement

such as the 100KHz spacing, later upgradeable to 50KHz, and the COM

ILS Critical Area signage: Localizer or Glideslope? by

Hi,
Does the ILS Critical Area sign apply to the localizer or the
glideslope antenna? Or is this is a dumb question?
CCR (Concord California) 19R has a localizer approach. No glideslope.
It has an ILS Critical Area sign. I read recently that ILS
equipped fields require the ILS critical area sign...
