Is it possible for a "flight of two" to file and fly an IFR flight plan?

FAA Ops Specs for air carriers have a middle column for types of approved approaches called “APV� - Approaches with Vertical Guidance, LDA-GS is listed in this column and not under Precision Approach. I’d give that answer in an interview, even though Instrument ACS would allow it to be...

Pretty neat seeing how old this discussion us, and pretty sad to see that people were expecting to have the VOR phased out by 2001. Here we are in 2017 and still use them. Hopefully with the FAA's "NextGen" they have going, maybe we will honestly see the VOR go away in a few more years.

In an interview I had recently, I was told the nearly 300 hours I'd logged as SIC in a C208B for a Scheduled 135 EAS provider was not able to be counted in my logbook for Total Flight Time calculations. I had received a 135.293; 135.297 and 135.299 check ride and have said endorsements on my...

We just got "climb and maintain 18000" yesterday, which is why I am here now. I content that a clearance to 18000 means using local altimeter, while FL180 would use 29.92.

It has been taken over by an angry homo or two.

It seems that based on the way the altimeter works, the pressure is directly proportional to the difference between the pressure set in the Kollsman Window, and the outside air pressure. So the greater this difference, the greater the altimeter's altitude reading. When flying from a warmer area to...

Anybody know what type of instrument approaches were used to fly the airlift into Berlin in the 40s?

I'm a little new to this airplane and tried to fly an LPV approach on autopilot. I had the approach activated and was outside the FAF at approx 30 degree intercept, when I pressed AP, then APR. It turned on course properly but never captured the glide path. What am I doing wrong? thanks Rick

Where are VASIs located on a field that doesn't have an ILS ? Is it a certain number of feet from end of runway ? Does it depend on runway length ? If you want to land on a short runway when is it safe to dip below VASI ? Must there be a certain number of hundreds of feet from the threshold...

This week (July 10 & 11 2012) I've seen large unidentified vintage aircraft flying south from Pasadena towards downtown Los Angeles, 2 or 3 motor, low wing, and slab-sided. The first time there two of them, escorted by a number of single engine planes, and the next day just one unescorted. Does...
