Terminal Certified GPS by
Scott Draper
A friend has some Apollo unit that is capable of enroute and terminal
navigation. How do I know if the installation is actually approved
for IFR flight ?
Thanks

I can understand why.
My airplane's at BFM, fueled up and ready to go, with a fresh annual.
I'm on crutches, grounded by a ruptured tendon and scheduled for surgery
that will keep me grounded for at least eight weeks. ****.

Very localized low by

of mercury deep.
Last Thursday flying South past Kansas City, about 1615Z, IMC,
6000 feet, Kansas City baro 30.14 on autopilot (KFC200), altitude

Departure/Enroute RAIM by

A chart change notice (and a similar Jeppesen briefing bulletin) were

A or B requirements for RNAV OPDs, SIDs, and RNAV routes.
The practical aspect for light aircraft equipped with either TSO 129 or
146 boxes is that a...

Garmin Data Cards by
Brad Salai
Does anyone know the format of the data cards for the GNS 530? Our club is
putting them in our small fleet, and we are considering buying extra data
cards to make the updates easier. The Garmin price seems high. If these are
standard cards, we may be able to do better elsewhere. Anyone have...

NDB IAPs... going... gone by
[email protected]
I got a much thicker than usual packet from Jeppesen yesterday, and the
bulk of the changes were the removal of dozens of NDB IAPs. I had heard
that the FAA was looking to decomission a lot of "redundant" NDB
appoaches, but was surprised to see that they were really gone so soon.
I guess there's...

Garmin 430 Training Software? by
Mitty
We are beginning upgrades of some club airplanes and want to put training
software on one of the flight planning computers. I have downloaded the free
package from Garmin but would like to consider options that are more tutorial

Descent below MDA -- what would you do? by
Roy Smith
What would you do in this situation? You're on the GPS-22 into Ellenville,
NY (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0508/09390G22.PDF), planning to land
straight-in. Note the high MDA (1800 AGL). There's no weather reporting
at your destination, but several nearby airports are saying anywhere from
2-1/2 to...

ADF in Europe by

I had a demo flight in a new Mooney Ovation2GX the other day. Quite a nice

"out of my reach"). But if it's CAVU, I will fly still at 10k,

IFR GPS by

VOR Check question by

I was told by an avionics guy that if a plane has VOR's they must be
accurate to file IFR, even if I file /G.
FAR 91.171 says "(a) No person may operate a civil aircraft under IFR using
the VOR system of radio navigation unless the VOR equipment of that
aircraft..."
I'm not debating the logic of...

How not to play nice with a GPS by
Roy Smith
I had an interesting experience earlier today. I thought after all this
time I had the CNX-80 figured out, but I found a new way to screw things up.
I was on the POU GPS-24 (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0508/00286VDG24.PDF),
full procedure, Kingston IAF. We were IFR, in and out of IMC. We had...
