More Garmin Gripes by
Viperdoc
I just installed a GDL69A data link with my 530, which works great. It gives
Nexrad radar as well as graphical METARs, and superimposes the information
on the basic map pages.
It is also supposed to provide text metars, but this will not be available
until "sometime in the future"

Government/Jepp Plate Comparison by
rps
I've been away from flying for a while. I stopped flying at around the
time the government plates were rumored to be changing to a new format.
I used to use Jepps.
I picked up flying again recently. The pilot's store I went to was out
of the Jepp express packs, so I decided to give the...

looking for a project by
Dave[_16_]
Hi all,
I'm taking a break from the corporate world and want to make something.
I'm looking for suggestions that could make your aviation life easier.
Is there a electronic gadget or widget that would make your flying or
airplane experience better?

OT Lightning video by

Good time for admiring the skies when we shouldn't fly anyway.
My second attempt at putting together a video of lightning I took at
my house. Mother nature was very cooperative as I had a cell

1 Cloud to Cloud every 2 seconds...

PANS-OPS by
Greg Farris
Anyone know which places use PANS-OPS to define procedures and which use
TERPS, and why? Is there a historical or political context to this? Why
do international authorities go to such lengths to maintain two systems
which essentially accomplish the same thing?
I just got a bunch of stuff from...

Dreaming STARS by
[email protected]
Was I dreaming? Or did I once hear that RNP 1 and 2 stars/sids had
been published in the USA? I see type A and B, but these are RNAV,
and so must have no RNP requirement whatsoever, and can be flown by
any /G aircraft. Anyone provide some info?

Playing with the Garmin GNS430/530 WAAS simulator by
Peter R.
As an owner of a Garmin GNS430 who will most likely upgrade to the WAAS
capability, I downloaded and installed the Garmin GNSxxx WAAS simulator
last night, then "flew" a couple of RNAV/GPS approaches with LPV minimums.

GNS 430 simple question by
MJC
I have just one question for you Garmin GNS 430 owners:
The 430, of course, can output both GPS and VOR data to a CDI indicator.
However, what I'm wondering, is if you have two CDI's, can the 430 run both
of them at the SAME TIME.. one CDI set to GPS output and the other CDI set
to VOR...

Fast forward to the futu WAAS 200 minimums by
scott moore
Now that the WAAS minimums are going to be 200, same as
ILS, and the first WAAS approaches are going to be
overlaid over standard ILS approaches, the question
arises:
Which approach makes more sense to an ILS runway, use
of the ILS, or the WAAS?
Before you say "good ole ILS", consider: WAAS is...

Approved Flight Sim by

Hello,
My flight school (a very small flight school) is looking at getting a

easy to run/install?
They would just be using it for IFR training and multi training. Right
now the school has a 172, 150 and Seneca.
Any advice...

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...
