My experience with Olathe (nee King) personnel has always been good. It's the Honeywell overlay from other locations where I've seen situations like yours. Could it be that the old-line Bendix/King people no longer control Olathe? "Peter" wrote in message...

After upgrading to software version 2, the CNS-80 offers a new display page, resembling an HSI with a VDI pointer at its left. The unit's computed VDI presentation is active for many GPS approaches, as well as for all LNAV and LPV approaches. However, I have not (yet) found in the pilot's manual...

Garmin AT has made available their simulator for the GNS480. I don't know how long it's been there, but I just noticed it at: http://www.garmin.com/products/gns480/ It's a nice step upward from the older CNX80 simulator. ---JRC---

I flew from Ohio to Florida early this week. The third leg was from Valdosta (KVLD) GA to West Palm Beach (KPBI) FL. My originally filed route was amended twice before I got 25 miles. JAX Center gave me PHK (Pahokee VOR) as my final fix before KPBI. As I was nearing the east shore of Lake...

After 21 years of being instrument rated, I flew my first SID this week. Departing KPBI on Thursday afternoon, bound for the first fix, LBV (LaBelle VOR). Normally, I file NO SIDS OR STARS in the remarks section. This time I forgot and they gave it to me.

It gets real interesting when you are bouncing around in turbulence. I have an Apple Newton 2100 that I have used to record flight information on. The Newton is kneeboard size. Peter wrote: Hi, I've been told that airline operations increasingly use tablet PCs for ground planning purposes,...

The train was quite crowded, so the U. S. Marine walked its entire length looking for a seat, but the only seat left was taken by a well-dressed, middle-aged, French woman's poodle. The war-weary Marine asked, "Ma'am, may I have that seat?" The French woman just sniffed and said to no one in...

Flew my first GPS approaches this morning... Wow!!! Easy and precise! I was flying a 1997 C182S with King KLN 94 GPS and UPSAT MX 20 moving map display. The moving map has a lot of lag during a turn, but fly the OBS and you go right where you are supposed to.

I flew from Columbus OH to Detroit MI and back last night. Detroit has Class B Airspace surrounding Wayne International, and I was going to Oakland Troy (7D2) on the north side.

Jeff, send me a blank email to I will send you some of pdf files for your perusal.

For those of you using handheld GPS's when you fly IFR: Do you use the throttle to increase/decrease power to match the ground speed to the approach speed table so the time is correct to the MAP? Or, Do you use the distance to the airport to determine/verify the MAP, even though the time may not...
