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,...

Windsor Locks (BDL) has two different GPS RWY 6 approachs, Y and Z: http://www.airnav.com/depart?http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0406/00460RY6.PDF http://www.airnav.com/depart?http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0406/00460RZ6.PDF The procedures are almost identical, and I'm scratching my head trying to figure...

Does a safety pilot have to have a current medical and be current as far as landings go, or just be rated in the category/class being flown?

The second printing of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems" is still available. We were out of print soon after our October 2002 printing so it is good to have copies available again. We are also able to hold the original price, too. Military Aircraft designations catalogued from 1913 to...

I've made this flight many times before and never encountered this before. I filed from my home airport (MGY) to PT(which is an NDB) to CYKZ using DUATS. Everything went fine. When I called for my clearance, they didn't have anything on me. So I departed VFR, and tried calling again. Still no luck....

War Flying: Bob wants to put WiFi in the Sky, By Robert X. Cringely http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040715.html He proposes a 1,000-node aerial mesh network for wireless internet access for general aviation airplanes (and others, including ground-based users, actually). I hope someone...

I was just reading Don Brown's latest (6/22) on avweb: http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/189944-1.html This column is about NORDO IFR procedures. I like Don's columns and find their nitpickiness to be consistent with safe flying, if a little bit annoying. But in this column, two things stuck out...

I don't have my AIM here at work, and I'm on dial up, so I won't attempt to download it, but I'm looking at the ILS 32 into KMQY Smyrna TN. It says ADF REQUIRED which I understand is to identify the IAF which is the SWZ NDB not associated with a marker beacon, inside the outer marker. This is the...

What is the significance of the first portion of a computer name for a STAR, such as PXN.COMMO1 which is called COMMO ONE ARRIVAL into Oakland? Is there a connection to Panoche VOR (PXN)? Should one read the name as "commo one arrival, Panoche transition"? Ari. -- Elections only count as free and...

http://jidanni.org/comm/air/m750/index_en.html is my idea about realigning route M-750 to reduce noise in Taiwan. I wonder how practical it is.

Is there an examiner on board that can summarize the significant changes in the new PTS? For example, is the GPS required to be turned off during one of the approaches?

....it's hard to see through, and good ol' Gulf Coast home boys like me should not mess around with it. Christmas Eve I was flying my daughter and grandson to Houston to visit my mom for the holiday. We'd spent the previous day in a little town NE of Houston. It was only about a 45 nm flight...

I'm considering flying from ROA to CLT for a business meeting at the airport itself next Tuesday -- arriving around noon and departing around 16:00. I've not flown G/A to CLT before -- anyone able to advise on the in/out delays (and fees) that I should expect? I'm having a tough time justifying...

Written passed today! Pretty good score but I just realized I made a stupid mistake on one of them - oh well. Time to sit back, relax & take it easy...on no, wait, study for the Oral.....argghhh. Iain

I know it's been asked in this group before, but is there any place where you can download the current IAP's by state as a pdf file? thanks Randy

An interesting thread on AirDisaster.com (including video) discusses the false glideslope indications that nearly did in an Air New Zealand flight some years ago. This is particularly interesting given that the FAA no longer seems to require an outer marker or equivalent on ILS approaches,...
