Question on Avidyne FlightMax by
Jim Caldwell
How do you update the GPS database? Does it have a portable uploader with a
CD-ROM? How long does it take? I have to keep a fleet of King Air arcraft
updated. They have an obsolete Interstate GPS system. The portable uploader
is floppy-disk based. You have to feed in a set of floppies, and the...

My First Time In Severe Turbulence (Long) by
David B. Cole
Tuesday's forecast for my neck of NJ was for a high of 63, light rain,
and 1500 overcast. The perfect day to get some actual IMC. My
instructor and I had planned on going to Hartford, CT to fly the LDA
Rwy 2 approach. However, by the time I made it to the airport the
layers were mostly scattered...

Question about KLN-89B by
Casey Wilson
Hello all,
Anybody know of an available function in the KLN-89B that shows
'velocity made good?' That is, if you are not flying directly toward a
waypoint, what is the closing velocity? Groundspeed, as reported, is
relative to the velocity vector, so that isn't the correct figure.
Why? you ask. ...

FAA pulls funding for LAAS landing systems by
JJ
LAAS (Local Area Augmentation System) was to provide CAT 2 and 3 ILS
capability at major airports by fine tuning GPS and up loading
correction signals to aircraft. FAA has canceled the program. Looks like
the ground based ILS systems once slated for removal by 2010 are here to
stay.

Garmin GPSmap 196 on 172 Yoke by
Otto Braasch
Hi,
Planning to put a GPSmap 196 for backup in my Cessna 172 I
would appreciate to learn whether somebody has mounted a 196 on a
172 yoke? May I learn about the mounting gear used - original
Garmin or OEM hardware like RAM?
How about drawbacks or pros experienced with either gear?

Outer Marker by
Barry
When doing an ILS approach, with the glideslope, is it a requirement to be
able to identify the outer marker or a substitute? FAR 91.175(k) lists the
outer marker as one of the "basic ground components" and gives the acceptable
substitutes, but doesn't explicitly say that it's required. The AIM...

Can ATC assign an airway if filed direct? by
Andrew Sarangan
If you file to a VOR direct, can ATC clear you along an airway
instead, and expect you to look up the airways? In other words, how
important is to carry an enroute chart if you don't plan on using
airways?

Icing Airmets by

I've been watching the icing airmets for some time now, and it seems
to be getting more and more conservative to the point of being
unrealistic. For example, right now the freezing level is at 5000 ft,
MEA is at 2500 ft, yet we have an airmet Z that goes all way from SFC
to 18k. How could you...

Approach speeds for ILS by

We get foggy here at Tacoma Narrows this time of year (which is the reason I
post more on these groups in the winter than in the summer). One thing we
see a lot of is guys who fly the ILS too fast.
I have no problem with flying the ILS at 90 or 100 knots if the ceiling is
well above minimums, but...
