Where is the FAF on the GPS 23 approach to KUCP? by
Richard Kaplan
I cannot find a charted final approach fix on the GPS 23 approach to KUCP
(New Castle, PA):
http://download.aopa.org/iap/20040219/NE4/ucp_ndb_or_gps_rwy_23.pdf
The Garmin 530 and UPSAT GX50 both consider Bryne intersection to be the
FAF, but there is no Maltese cross.
Any ideas? Can an approach...

Question re CNX-80 by
ROBIN FLY
Aviation Consumers in their review said that CNX-80 could be certified with its
built-in CDI. Is it true?
If it is true, does its built-in CDI provide G/S or VNAV indication?

Finally, some real solo IFR practice! by
Guy Elden Jr.
Well, after enduring the blisteringly cold, icy, snowy, and windy winter
we've had up here in the Northeast, I _finally_ managed to get in some real,
honest to goodness, solid IFR practice!
It's been a couple of months since my last real instrument flight, but
tonight, the conditions were finally...

Approach to an LOM/IAF with PT (not vectors to final) by
O. Sami Saydjari
The Approach in question is SDF RWY 2 at KISW. I was coming in from the
south, nearly lined up with the inbound course of 021 degrees. I was in
touch with ATC. The LOM/IAF is called NEPCO. The ATC asked if I wanted
"direct NEPCO." I said yes. Within about 10 miles of the airport,...

Making a VFR C152 IFR - What I decided by
Paul Folbrecht
I took the advice of Richard & others and put the 300XL up for sale.
I'll keep my 295 instead - and by the way I have never had the slightest
problem with reception with the standard antenna with the unit
yoke-mounted.
So, all I'll have is the KX-155 with GS receiver tied to a 209 indicator
and a...

This headset is less than 1 year old and has sat in my flight bag for
about 4 mos without being used so I figure I don't really need it. It
has all of the packaging and paperwork. It is in excellent condition
and has cloth covers for the earpieces. This sells for about...

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...

Scrubbed IRA checkride by
Dave Jacobowitz
I have no reason to make this post except that none of my
coworkers understand my disappointment.
I had to scrub my instrument checkride today because the
aircraft I train in went in for a 50-hr inspection (my
club's code-word for "oil change") and ended up with
the door sent out to be welded....

Holds when PT NA by
David Rind
If an approach has a hold in lieu of a PT, but the chart says
"No PT", is the hold optional, or is it only available with ATC
authorization the way a PT would be in this situation?
I was looking at the ILS 2 approach into EEN, and there is a
segment at 4000' from an IAF at the GDM VOR marked No...

Flying over water and filing IFR by
Brien K. Meehan
Okay, I'm here, and my destination is on the other side of one of the
Great Lakes. Flying direct will take me out of gliding distance from
shore, so I don't want to do that.
.... but there's no obvious airway route around the lake. In fact,
there's a big honkin' Class B area, so even if I try to...

Housekeeping chores by
Wizard of Draws
Enroute and in between approaches, they say if you aren't doing something,
you've forgotten something.
I've come across a few checklists on the web that include a few items to
check enroute, and I'd like to get a feel for what you folks here feel are
your best enroute "housekeeping chores".
