Checkride in about three weeks & I am trying to figure out cruise clearance. Simple enough, cleared between the MEA and the altitude limit, but I also read somewhere that it is also used to clear you for descent into a non-ifr airport. Right? How does this work & is it something you request or...

Just started looking at ASE requirements. I don't have to get _another_ 10 hours if I am already IA rated, right? Previous instrument training time has to apply here. ? FAR 61.129(a)3(i) Thanks.

I had filed a flight plan for 8pm local the other night. I tried amending the departure time as I was leaving 1.5 hours later than the proposed time. I called the FSS and was told the IFR flight plan gets deleted by the system 2 hours after the proposed departure time. I thought it was 45...

The other day I was doing multiple approaches under the hood. I needed an extra minute or two to setup for the next approach and requested a "5 mile turn." From my understanding, this means that while on downwind to not turn me until 5 miles from the FAF. The controller didn't understand. I...

I'm close to completing my PPL (9 days for my checkride) and planned to go onto to get IFR training in a 6-7 months. The weather in the San Francisco Bay area has been quite cloudy and rainy and was thinking about starting my IFR training immediately in order to take advantage of the IMC...

Just got my PPL 2 1/2 months ago and jumped in to IFR for a few reasons including the weather was crappy and I want as much actual as possible. Saturday went up in perfect VFR conditions. At least my CFI had a nice view out the window. I did ok but had been on a sim so i was a touch rusty in the...

I'm about 14 hours into my IFR training with 11 of those on the sim. I had to go to LAS for work (non-aviation) for 3 weeks. I came back and was dying to go flying. Well I expected the worst. I hadn't flown a plane in nearly 2 months since I was working on the IFR stuff. First time flying...

Tonight I was flying back to SQL GPS 30. There was a dense, 100' thick ceiling covering half the airport at 800' AGL/MSL. I was in VMC the whole time yet it probably would have been illegal to fly in VFR as I would have been close to the clouds (see note below about this). So even though...

Reading one of the piloting web/video services and came across this comment: "Still; there remains the specter of trouble ahead... as most of the better offerings at the USSAE (LSA aircraft) cost well over 100K... and we're not sure that there is a sustainable market for aircraft in that price...

I'm looking for opinions / stories / experiences about the various GPS/Wx software packages that are available for Tablet PCs. I have a Motion LS800 and a WxWorx receiver. But, I'm not sure I'm happy with my current choice of software.

I've heard that some pilots have the authority to descend to CAT II minimums (RA100) on CAT I intstrument approaches. If this is true, then how is the CAT I approach altered? Is the DH simply lowered? Seems like this would result in steeper approach angles to make it work out right. Alternately...

We have upgraded the Garmin 430 to WAAS in our homebuilt. We have the Garmin talking to our STEC autopilot using its ARINC 429 roll steering commands through the STEC GPSS interface. In the old 430 non-WAAS unit, even if you selected an ILS approach on the Garmin and loaded it, you would get roll...

I was wondering how to program this into the 430, and if it is even possible. Say you are east of a VOR and ATC gives you a vector to intercept the 270 radial FROM the VOR and track away from the VOR on that radial and intercept an airway. The clearance went something like this: "Glasair 470XX,...

I am a current user of Destination Direct and it is a great program. I also purchased some Maptech CD's for charts and the moving map feature using a GPS is awsome. The only downside is you cannot print out the sectionals along your route with DD. The printing feature of the sectionals using DD...

I just got back to the snow in upstate New York from Maui. We flew United Airlines both ways. It was fun listening in on channel 9. I was surprised to hear all the flights getting the same squawk code. Each flights was instructed to squawk 2000 over the Pacific Ocean. Are all flights between...
