WxWorx gets a workout by
Dan Luke
Yesterday was one of those sopping wet, unstable Gulf Coast spring days
and I needed to get an Angel Flight couple from Mobile to Jennings, LA
(3R7, west of Lafayette) in the afternoon. By the time we were ready to
leave BFM at noon, the NEXRAD on our route looked like a cheap Hawaiian
luau shirt...

regaining night currency but not alone by
Teacherjh
Jack and Jill are both private pilots, neither is a CFI. Jack is out of night
currency, Jill is current.
Jack and Jill go flying at night under part 91, with Jack sitting in the left
seat (I know it doesn't matter) and manipulating the controls, while Jill acts
as PIC.
1) Can Jack log the time...

Hold at VOR for 2v2 by
Doug
So I am in the hold at the BJC VOR for the VOR DME approach to 2v2.
http://www.naco.faa.gov/d-tpp/0405/09041VDA.PDF
At what point do I leave the hold and intercept the 345 radial?
At the VOR? Or at the end of the outbound leg?
Thx

Blackberry Applications by

Does anyone know of any cool applications for the Blackberry that are
aviation related? Maybe something that would allow me to check
weather, or file flight plans?

The new Instrument Rating PTS by
C J Campbell
There seems to be a lot of questions regarding the new instrument rating
PTS. Although it was published in April, it does not take effect until
October. The purpose of the new PTS is to incorporate advanced technology
such as electronic flight displays and GPS into the program.

ILS or LOC Approach by
Richard Kaplan
It seems that recently approach charts have appeared labeled "ILS or LOC" --
examples are at HAO and RMN.
Is this a change?
Why?
In the past ILS approaches with an underlying LOC would still be titled
"ILS".

Daytron clock? by
Hankal
Daytron Clock.
The stem from my clock fell off. Looking at the ends where the stem meets are
tiny indentations like miniature gears. I have no idea how they fit together.
See no break. What holds them together? Should I just use glue to join then
together?

STAR to neighboring airport by

Recently I was arriving from the southwest to my home base of UES (Waukesha,
WI), and was given the Veena arrival.
However, the Veena arrival is not listed as a STAR to Waukesha, but is under
the section for Milwaukee, which is around 20 miles away (in the Jepp

Cruise clearance by
Hankal
How many times do you get a cruise clearance. Ever get "unable"
Lets say the cloud layers are 4000 to 5200. You are cleared to 5000, but want
to climb to 5300 or above. Is it possible to get a "cruise" clearance to stay
above the layers? What about over class B?

NDB or GPS Rwy 33 EPM by
Ron Rosenfeld
This approach is marked radar required, and there is no charted feeder
route to the IAF. So one approaches via a random route under radar.
ATC will not issue an approach clearance until within 15 miles of the NDB.
In the past I was told this was due to their need to ensure the a/c was
within the...

I haven't come across an approach with two separate missed approach
procedures before. Is this even remotely common?
I think I'll add this to my instrument students' training regiment due to
some additional interesting features- teardrop course...

Hotlanta by
Hankal
I am contemplating a flight form Venice KVNC to Atlanta with a fuel stop at
KLCQ Lake City, or close to it depending on fuel prices.
Do not want to go into the big airport in Atlanta. Any one have comments on
airports near Atlanta within Taxi cab distance.
Thanks
