GPS WEIRDNESS by
Flew my 172M today and experienced some truly bizarre GPS behavior.
On preflight my portable GPS (Garmin 296), with external antenna and
aircraft power securely attached, initialized just fine, acquired
several satellites and went right into NAV mode. After runup and right
before takeoff, it...

Advice to a teenager,
Spend other people's money as long as they let you do it.

IAP without inbound course? by
Y'All,
Received this email for which I have come to the group for an answer.
Dear Gene,
I was recently on an instrument checkride for the Military, and the
instructor asked me a bonus question: "can you have a IAP with no published
inbound course." I couldn't think of any scenarios, maybe you...

fY'All,
I've changed servers and it's taken two weeks to get back. In the interim I
have had a first experience in an off-airport emergency landing. More when

Whistle for your frequency? by
-b-
Thumbing through a 1962 FLYING magazine, I came across an advertisement
for the all-new Motorola M-400 NAV/COM. Among other quaint features,
such as the 100KHz spacing, later upgradeable to 50KHz, and the COM
transmit frequency that automatically switches to 122.1 any time you
select a NAV...

iPhone or iPad VFR GPS by
A L
I am hesitating between buying the iPhone 4 and the iPad (or else?) to
use as a VFR GPS. One of the attractive feature of the iPad is the
larger screen but it is also one of the drawback... Apparently the
iPhone has an internal Gyroscope which the iPad does not have (might be
added on the iPad...

OLV GPS 36 approach question by
A Lieberma
Went out seeking some IMC time today. Severe clear at my home airport,
so took a trip from KMBO (Madison MS) to KOLV (Olive Branch MS)
Early morning clouds at OLV was 500 overcast, so I figured by the time I
got there, it would at least be broken. It wasn't the clouds that was
restricting the...

IFR Cancellation Question by
A Lieberma
Severe clear today, so other then the safety net of ATC services, weather
wasn't an issue.
Coming back from HBG (Hattiesburg MS) to MBO (Madison MS) encountered the
following exchange with ATC. I was already told to expect the visual
approach in my inital contact with approach controller. ...

Circle to land question by
A Lieberman
Last week, I was doing approaches in actual IMC, and returning back to MBO

Video of VOR A approach into MBO in actual by
A Lieberman
I took a friend up (VFR pilot) to give him a taste of what instrument
flying was about. We did two ILS's over at JAN (Jackson MS) and then a VOR
Alpha back to MBO (Madison MS).
I briefed him that it may be a possibility we may not be able to return to
MBO as ceilings on departure were 700 feet. ...

Trust those intruments Trust those instruments by
A Lieberman
Suffice it to say, the subject line says it all.
Had to get the oil changed in my plane today, and I got a "bonus" of 300
foot ceilings and a full day off of work, so I'd figure I'd knock out a few
approaches in actual conditions and getting the engine nice and hot before
the oil change. Looking...
