Bremerton, WA by
Mike Rapoport
We will be flying (hopefully) to Bremerton, WA (KPWT) on Wednesday and the
weather in the PNW does not look very good either now or in the forecast
(widespread fog, vis 1/8sm). Are there any local fog effects at Bremerton?
Are there airports in the area that are not as likely to have fog? ...

IFR with a VFR GPS by
Wizard of Draws
OK, I broke down and sprung for the Lowrance Airmap 2000c instead of the
1000. Wow.
Normally I rent a plane that has a panel-mounted IFR certified Garmin 430,
but that may change due to circumstances beyond my control in a few months.
Obviously I can't file /G IFR without a proper IFR GPS, but...

Slant R? by
Marco Leon
Given the recent changes in the regs, do us folks with certified Garmin
430's and 530's file slant R now? I heard there's a write-up by AOPA. Can
someone point me to that article please?
Thanks,

Let's Be Honest by
skym
I have a recently installed Garmin GPS430. But I also have a Lowrance
(handheld) 1000 GPS to use. The Lowrance is MUCH better at situational
awareness than the panelmount. Please understand--I have no complaints
about the 430; it is a great unit. However, the Lowrance 1000 is a

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...

Are "Popups" A Hassle? by
skym
For the ATC guys: I frequently have departed VFR, but then do a popup
if needed. Frequently these are sortof foreseeable possibilities, but
often enough I have been able to proceed VFR all the way. I've often
wondered just how much of a hassle it is to ATC to have to deal with a
popup.

Night flying times by
Stubby
There is confusion in regard to which "twilight" times are used to
define night flying. What would be wrong with a change to the FARs that
say something like "Flight occuring an hour after GPS-indicated sunset
time and an hour before GPS-indicated sunrise is defined as night
flying"? (The...

Why does a prop ice up so apparently readily? by
Mike Rapoport
The potential for icing is based on the amount of supercooling more than the
theoretical or actual skin temp. It seems doubtfulthat the skin heats up as
much as would be predicted if the air has droplets in it that are actually
impacting the surface. These two things combined with the fact that...

IFR/Flight Following -- ATC Preferences? by

Departing cross country out of the Minneapolis area in severe clear, I will

For example, Friday I am going from KMIC to KGPZ, which is a couple hundred
