what annoys me today... by
scott moore
This one is just funny:
http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/13_2a/briefs/Stealing_From_Peter_To_Pay_Paul_194158-1.html
Why is it funny? Because Tracy is, or was, the only airport I know that
LOCKS and SHUTS DOWN their card activated fueling at night, making them
practically useless for a fuel stop...

Looking for a non-WAAS Garmin GNS430 database card by
Peter R.
One of my two non-WAAS Garmin GNS430 database cards has somehow died and
remembering to pull the only one from my unit to bring home and burn has
become risky, so I am looking for another spare card.
There are a couple on eBay but I thought I would at least see if any of you
here have spare, old...

Flying through TFR by
M
If a VIP TFR says "AIRCRAFT FLIGHT OPERATIONS ARE PROHIBITED WITHIN THE
FOLLOWING AREAS UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY ATC IN CONSULTATION WITH
THE DOMESTIC EVENTS NETWORK (DEN)", does an IFR clearance thru the TFR
qualifies as "authorized by ATC"?
In this particular case, I'm referring to...

GNS 430 question by
[email protected]
I have a GNS 430 and a GNC 250 XL in my aircraft. When I switch on
both GPS, the GNC 430 will not, in the satelllite status page, show
the solid signal strength bars even though the hollow bars are all
showing good strength and the 250 XL works just fine.
Does this have anything to do with the...

Hey guys,
I am a fim believer in the edm 700 I have used it in about 4 airplanes

Wrong data in Jepp GPS database? by
Roy Smith
I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back
into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered
it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8
and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

looking trade safety pilot duties (NYC) by
Journeyman
I posted something about this yesterday, but it seems to have gone
into a black hole.
I'm based at HPN, looking for someone in the area to trade safety
pilot duties. Say, once a week in the morning before work.
Anyone?

G1000 no 3 letter identifier on ILS. Why? by
STICKMONKE
The other day I flew an ILS into KCNO. The G1000 did not decode the Morse
code and the 3 letter identifier did not appear. I was not in IMC and I did
not manually listen to the Morse code. The ATIS did not indicate a problem.
The localizer and glide slope appeared good. My question. What are...

Question about Approach Plates by
Russ MacDonald
One of my students asked me a question the other day that I have been unable
to answer.
Many instrument approaches are labeled with a letter following the primary
name and the letter indicates that the final approach course is not lined up
(beyond 30 degrees) with any runway, and that a circling...

Why no stepdown fix in GPS? by
Roy Smith
I flew the KFWN VOR or GPS-A (http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0506/05412VGA.PDF)
this morning with a CNX-80. Annoyingly, ANKLE (the stepdown fix) is not in
the database. You get SAX-MAGLV. It seems like SAX-ANKLE-MAGLV would
make a lot more sense. Is the some reason it's left out of the database?
