Meaning of "IC" on KPHL Frequencies? by
[email protected]
I was reviewing the frequencies for KPHL over the weekend on AirNav,
http://www.airnav.com/airport/Kphl and towards the end of the
frequency list there is one listed as IC: 124.35. Its also a
departure and approach freq, but I'd like to know what IC stands for.
Any help would be appreciated!

definition of "dual controls" by
Lee Elson
91.109 prohibits some types of instruction without "fully functioning
dual controls". Can anyone point to an FAA source for how this phrase
is defined? While throw over yokes are dealt with in 91.109, what
about dual brakes and rudders?

"Blocked" by
Lee Elson
I'd like some input from those of you who are familiar with the
working ATC environment.
In a situation where a transmission to/from ATC is "interfered with"
by a second transmission I've always believed that it is useful to let
all parties know that the tranmission was blocked, even if I...

Contract Tower Program
The FAA's Contract Tower Program takes air safety and sells it to the

Procedure Turn by
Bravo8500
I'm pretty sure this question has been asked, but I can't seem to find
it. My question deals with a typical approach with a procedure turn
before the FAF, could be an NDB, VOR, GPS, etc. I know what the
purposes are. 1) Provide course reversal and 2) allow altitude loss
from the arrival altitude to...

Transiting KCLE Class B by

I have a fairly new Instrument Rating and need to fly my (non-turbo) Arrow

The most efficient dry route appears to be V6 via Dryer, but that takes me
right through the middle of the Cleveland Class B. Is this likely to be
accepted as filed, or am I likely to get...

You've just passed your instrument checkride, and
as a consequence you have a $50 gift certificate

Complicating matters is that I already have all

Need an 800x600 cockpit pda/tablet! by
Ben Jackson
I've been playing with the PDF approach plates. Well rendered they are
easily readable at 600x800 (they're taller than they are wide, but
narrower than the 4:3 aspect ratio of most display) with 16 levels of
grayscale. 480x640 is pretty good with 16 levels of gray, down to right

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....

NACO approach plates by

IMC without an autopilot by
Jon Kraus
Just curious as to opinions about flying in IMC without an autopilot?
Does an autopilot make flying in the clouds safer or is it just a crutch
for the lazy?
For myself being new to IFR flying I feel safer knowing that if needed I
could turn the autopilot on. Maybe it is a false sense of...
