CFI logging instrument time by
Barry
A CFI with airplane single-engine rating but not instrument-airplane (not a
CFII) gives flight instruction to a private pilot. Part of the flight is in
the clouds, with the private pilot flying. Can the CFI log instrument time
under FAR 61.51(g)(2):
"An authorized instructor may log instrument...

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this mean one can fly an unpublished IAP in the UK?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...

RAIM Prediction by

Is there a site that provides online RAIM predictions for the US? I know
that Flight Service is supposed to be able to provide this, but it would be
nice to have another source.

FAA Part 61 & 141 FAQ's Gone! by
Barry
To All:
Removal of the FAA AFS-800 Part 61 and 141 FAQ web site
Last month the FAA cancelled the AFS-800 Part 61 and Part 141 FAQ's.
Evidently the reason was because the FAA Public Relations folks, the creator
of the FAA's main "How do I become a Pilot?" FAQ web page convinced the...

Logging Simulator Time by
Bartscher
I just had my first opportunity to log some approaches in a simulator and that
brought up questions about how to log the time. The Frasca 141 was set up to
mimic a Cessna 172. My questions a
1) Does this time get logged as Airplane SEL along with also being logged as a
Synthetic Trainer?
2) Do...

IFR Through Cleveland by
Bartscher
I'll be heading from Toledo to Buffalo late in June and I'm wondering if the
Cleveland class B is accomodating for IFR flights through their area, or if I
should expect to be vectored well around the area. Since I won't have life
rafts or jackets onboard, I want to make sure that I get vectored...

How long does it take the FAA to publish an approach? by
Beech45Whiskey
Yesterday, I stopped by a small VFR airport in western NY state and struck
up a conversation with a few locals. During the interesting aviation chat
I learned that the FAA had been to their airport a year or so ago
performing a survey that would hopefully result in a GPS approach.
On average, how...

Getting to VFR on top from VFR? by
Ben Jackson
The other thread reminded me of an interesting situation I got into
on the way out of Victoria, BC. I had filed for a lower than optimal
altitude due to forecast icing at 9000. Once airborn I could see that
the cloud layer in question had tops around 9000, and I could climb on
top before I...

Is an IPC a substitute for 6 approaches? by
Ben Jackson
The way I read 61.57(d) (the requirement for an IPC), it's just an extra
requirement that kicks in under certain circumstances. It's not a subpart
of 61.57(c) (6 approaches etc in 6 months), and (c) does not have any
exceptions related to (d).
So if an IPC is essentially a checkride, it could be...

Need an 800x600 cockpit pda/tablet! by
Ben Jackson
I've been playing with the PDF approach plates. Well rendered they are
easily readable at 600x800 (they're taller than they are wide, but
narrower than the 4:3 aspect ratio of most display) with 16 levels of
grayscale. 480x640 is pretty good with 16 levels of gray, down to right
on the ragged...

Why an NDB approach with a miss to an intersection? by
Ben Jackson
What's the point of the CVO NDB 17? It's an off-airport NDB approach
to a runway that also has ILS, VOR and GPS approaches, all with lower
minimums. Like all but one other approach (a GPS approach from the
south) it has a missed approach that takes you to an intersection hold
about 9 miles to the...

Reading the whiskey compass by
Ben Jackson
When you're flying partial panel, to what precision do you read the
mag compass? To the nearest 5 degrees? Estimate to the nearest
degree? How long do you go between readings and rely only on timed
turns?
For that matter, do you ever try to apply values from the correction
card? In IMC or even...

My first big IFR mistake... by
Ben Jackson
I made my first big IFR mistake. I fixed my intermittant ADF with only
a few more hours of training to go until my checkride. My glorious plan
to label it INOP (making it an expensive combination multi-channel timer
and partial panel heading memory aid) has been thwarted by a little tuner

How fast should an ADF point? by
Ben Jackson
My ADF (Narco 841) quit pointing shortly after I got the plane, so
I pulled it and found it was covered in swarf (metal shavings) so I
cleaned it off, cleaned the contacts (card edge connector) and put
it back in. Now it points again. What I'm wondering is: How fast
should it point? Let's say...

SLE LOC BC RWY 13: ARTTY Int NA for FAF by
Ben Jackson
The SLE LOC BC RWY 13 FAF is located at ARTTY:
http://myairplane.com/databases/approach/NorthWest/SLE_lbr13.pdf
In the notes it says "Artty Int not authorized for final approach fix".
However it sure does look like the FAF in the elevation view. So only
the fan marker can be used to identify the...
