Practicing my scan by
Paul Tomblin
When I don't fly IFR for a period of time, I don't seem to have any
problem with approaches or procedures or the usual stuff, but my scan goes
to hell. After looking over at the GPS or down at the chart and finding
myself in a 40 degree bank, I tend to turn on the autopilot and leave it
on until...

Departure Procedure jStumper Question by
[email protected]
Take a look at Salmon Idaho KSMN, Ahehu 1 RNAV Dept (Obstacle). I
realize few aircraft are equipped to fly this, however;
1. Notice the "at 200 kt" requirement for some waypoints. Is this
TAS, GS, or IAS? And a reference please if you know of one.
2. Why is the stipulation "at" instead of...

Does glide ratio change with altitude? by
Jim Carter[_1_]
During a recent discussion about calculating glide ratio, I began to wonder
what the effects of pressure altitude were on the glide ratio of an
aircraft. Since air is 50% as dense at FL180 as at sea level, would the
glide ratio increase (glide further) as altitude decreases? AND if there is
a...

430W/When does the glideslope register by
scott moore
Keep in mind I tried out my new 430W install for
the first time today.
I tried a few sample approaches, really outstanding.
The 430W makes you want to try full (not vectored)
approaches because it essentially automates everything.
It will hold on the approach hold, start the approach
on its own...

GNS430W: Parallel offset course feature by
Peter R.
Just picked up my aircraft with the GNS430W upgrade and was reading the
manual to see what new features are now included. In there I discovered the
feature that allows the pilot to purposely fly a parallel offset course
anywhere from 1 to 99 miles. The only tedious characteristic of this...

Holding Pattern Question by
Dennis Johnson
I'm probably over-thinking holding patterns and have become confused.
When given instructions to hold at a non-published holding pattern, ATC will
specify:
1. The direction from the fix, such as north, north-east, etc.
2. The name of the holding fix.
3. The radial, course, or airway on which...

Radio Call Entering Holding by
Dennis Johnson
With help from the people on this newsgroup, I'm happy to announce that I
passed my IPC!
One thing that came up on my flight was that I didn't announce that I was
entering holding and my altitude.

contact or not, "The...

How to tell when approach plate updated? by
kevmor
If an approach plate comes out, then it's NOTAM'ed for some changes, I
make the changes to it. But then the next few cycles, those changes
aren't implemented yet and are still NOTAM'ed. Instead of making the
changes to each cycle again, can you tell by the Amendment # if it's
been updated?

Flying to an unfamiliar airport, in very hazy conditions, I was cleared
for the visual for 28 not too long before sunset. I could see the
ground below me at 6,000 feet, but I couldn't see a damn thing in front
of me because of the sun in my eyes and the haze, so I asked for and was

The FAA Failure by
FAA Civil Rights
I guess the Diversity workforce in the FAA is working great
huh??
I believe the first video mentions the word "Incompetency"
The same word I was chastised for using a few years ago by
FAA Management
Maybe I was just a little ahead of my time perhaps?
