Downers Grove, Il - suggestions? by
Jim Carter[_1_]
I need to go to Downers Grove the week and am considering taking a 182RG from the local FBO here in Bentonville. I thought Schaumburg Regional might be close, but it shows OTS indefinitely on the web site I use. Next choice might appear to be Dupage. Anyone from around their with some suggestions?...

Rolling a Non Aerobat 150 by
Jose
I have to ask why you feel it's
reasonable to turn this guy in to the FSDO but not to copy license
plate numbers of speeders and turn them in.
I didn't make the post, but I do have some reasons.
Way back when... when I was learning to fly and learning how the regs
worked, it was made clear...

530W wind computation by
bsalai
On a recent flight from KROC to KUUU (Newport RI), a great place to
visit by the way, another guy from our club and I tried to use the wind
computation function on our recently upgraded 530W. We could enter the
data easily enough, but it didn't do the calculation. It just shows 0

Does part 91 apply outside the USA? by
Barry
Now let's take 91.175. The USA mandates the use of a published IAP.
The UK does not. 91.1 says p91 does not apply outside the USA. Does
this mean one can fly an unpublished IAP in the UK?
I don't see anything in 91.1 saying that it does not apply outside the US.
It says that it does...

Full flap ILS by
[email protected]
I flew safety for a friend in his Bonanza A36 w/ IO-550 yesterday. He
hand flew a perfect ILS, but it was with full flap and gears down at
around 22 in power. In my E35 Bonanza with E225 engine and low flap
and gear speeds, I almost always fly ILS with flap up, gears down at
around 17 in power. ...

one year since new paint and leather interior. Reserve price is less

Instrument PTS vs. GPS AFM -- who wins? by
Roy Smith
I just noticed an interesting problem with the Instrument Rating PTS. It
says:
Aircraft and Equipment Required for the Practical Test
GPS equipment must contain the current database.
The problem is that not all GPS units require that the database be current.

XM Weather - Sirius merger with XM Radio by
Roy N5804F
Sirius is making headway in merging with XM Radio.
No one seemed to be asking at the Anti Trust hearing whether or not Sirius
will continue to maintain the XM aviation weather services.
Or if they do, at what cost to the users ?
I would imagine that this will be another User Fee that is going to...

IFR in A/C with Single Nav by
Rugby51
I am a relatively new CFII looking for some advice. I am starting an instrument student in a 172 that is bare bones IFR. The plane has a single nav with glideslope, a VFR GPS installation, and no ADF or DME. I haven't flown the plane on an IFR flight yet, but it seems that the way to make it...

IFR reading by

Am finishing up Machado's exellent Instrument Flying Handbook now.
Really enjoyed that - lots of good stuff on approaches (especially) that
you don't get in the training materials.
So, what else is must reading for the newly-minted IFR pilot??
Thanks for all the replies on the staying-current...

Strategy for icing due to freezing rain by
Bill
The advice to climb is based on the
idea that it's warmer above, which is
an interesting theory. You could die
getting up to where it's warmer. You
should do an immediate 180 and get
out of there.
During your preflight wx brief, you need
to have your radar turned on HIGH to
any hint that there...

Extra Hold Depicted on Plate? by
Mitty
We are getting a brand new ILS 26 at KANE and I just downloaded the plate. The
miss is what I expected to see and is a hold at the GEP "Gopher" VOR a few miles
to the west. But there is also a hold depicted at the PNM NDB, which is a long
ways away. That hold is not mentioned on the plate.

Anyone had fuel tank air vent icing up? by
Bill
It's a problem in Bonanzas & Barons.
Heated fuel vents are an option on some Barons.
You can tell it's happening by noting the fuel gauges.
They go UP! The bladder sucks up from the tank and
deflects the outbound level sender when the vents are
blocked.
You need a plan to be on the ground.
