Good AI backup, wish me luck by
Robert M. Gary
After having both a vac pump failure and an AI failure (not on the
same flight :) ) I decided its really time for a backup. I always
consider my Mooney to be an "IFR anytime" type of plane, in that I
consider it a solid IFR platform. When the vac pump goes out alarms
starting sounding, my voice...

First time in IMC by
Gerald Sylvester
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...

required vertical altitude separation by
[email protected]
Is 1000 feet the absolute minimum vertical separation between ifr
aircraft? Or can atc assign 3500 feet to one, and 4000 to another,
and have no lateral separation??
Secondly, any different for a situation where one is ifr at 4000 ft,
and a vfr aircraft is being vectored at 3500 feet, with no...

Uncontrolled airport departure-again... by
endre
I know this question has probably been answered thousand times before
on this forum. I am based at s50 in washington with no instrument
approach or departure procedure. It is class G to 1200 and then class
e plus some class b around.
How can I depart IFR from this airport? Do i need to depart VFR...

RNAV vs IFR GPS by
PaulaJay1
Coming into CLE the other day the controller ask if I had RNAV and I said no,
that I was /G ,that is, IFR GPS. He said that it was the same and gave me
direct.....
Is it the same, should I have answered yes to his question? Of course I can
navigate direct but do I have "RNAV"?

Chart subscriptions by
Dave Anderer
Any suggestions for a good internet-available, good service,
well-priced chart subscription service?
I've used vrotate.com for individual chart purchases. Good price and
service, but the site is - well - less than I might hope for. No
support for subscriptions (that is evidently done via...

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...

Practicing Chewing Gum by
Jerry Kaidor
"Jerry can't fly and chew gum at the same time."
....That's the feeling I got after my last lesson. Yesterday I went
out to the
airport. CFII was busy, couldn't practice "flying", but I darn well
could get
better at chewing gum. That is, all the other stuff that you do to
fly IFR. Besides...

Clearance: Direct to airport with /U by
Judah
The other day I was flying to 3N6 in NJ from JST in PA in a plane with two
VORs and a VFR-only GPS. About halfway through I got an ammended clearance
giving me a shortcut. The last point in the clearance was ARD then Direct
3N6.
After accepting the clearance, and turning toward the next waypoint,...

Reasoning behind course reversal by
Michael 182
What is the reasoning behind the required course reversal in many
approaches? It's hard to believe that I will be safer flying the racetrack
and then the approach to the runway than simply flying to the IAF and
proceeding inbound - especially with GPS guidance. I have no problem flying
the full...

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
cleaner...

Victor Airways on Approach Control Radar? by
Andrew Sarangan
The other day I queried an approach controller to find out how well we
are doing tracking the airway centerline. He said his radar scope does
not show the airways. I was surprised by this. Is this normal? I know
that Center controllers have airways on their radar, but it appears
that Approach...

Whatever happened to Thunderhead hood ? by

I was reading the review of various hoods in Consumer Aviation
(January 1999 - yeah thats 5 years ago !). They recommended
Thunderhead and Best Hood among non-foggle solutions (I don't
like foggles because whatever is wrong with me any eyeglass-wear
just fogs up quickly). I have ordered Best Hood...

IFR Long X/C and the Specter of Expectations by
David B. Cole
Yesterday we finally had a chance to do the long X/C. For those of
you that don't know, I have about 50 hours of dual instrument and I'm
fairly close to the checkride. At least that's what my instructor
proposes. So as you can see my long X/C came later for me than most.
I've also had an...
