CFII oral exam guide questions? by
Robert M. Gary
Can anyone point me to an oral exam guide (internet preferred) for the
CFII? I see lots of stuff for IR but no one seems to publish anything
for the CFII specifically. Looking for specific questions on teaching
techniques.

Does anyone know what happened to the FAA's proposal to increase the
requirements for instrument currency to include departure procedures
etc? Is the FAA still pursuing this?

wonders of VFR on top by
Robert M. Gary
The other day I wanted to get a clearance to get above an overcast
while in cruise. When I asked for a clearance the controller said it
would be awhile because my destination was more than 500 miles away.
He said he needed to get me a clearance all the way there even though
my intention was to...

Flying IFR with Garmins by
Robert M. Gary
I just recently decided to buy our first Garmin GPS (296). I had not
in the past because they were so far behind on providing terrain. They
fixed that with the 296. However, the one outstanding item missing on
the 296 are airways. On my Skymap IIIc I can easily fly an airway by
putting the white...

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...

GPS Notams of outages by
Robert Scott
I have seen some GPS Notams about likely unreliability in certain
areas over certain very narrowly-defined periods of time. Can anyone
tell me what sort of known activities create these conditions?

ILS Rwy 20 at Marion, ILL by
Robert Scott
In the latest Jepp update for Marion, ILL, the procedure has changed
to what looks for all the world like a LOC approach. The minimums for
the ILS have been replaced by ‘NA’, and the DA has been replaced by an
MDA. Yet the title of the approach is still ILS Rwy 20. Why didn’t
they change the...

Victor Airways in Cessna G1000 T182T by
[email protected]
I am fortunate enough to spend some time in my Uncle's new 2006 T182
with the Nav III G1000. Amazing stuff. But am spending time "head
down". Can't seem to find Victor airways. Lots of amazing stuff - XM
weather, echo tops, Metars/TAFs etc. But 530 had the V airways! As
not my plane - I cant...

Which Flight School at KCDW ? by
Roberto Waltman
Hello,
After +2 years without flying I'm planning to get back to the air.
With a rusty SEL rating, I'm looking for a flight school for two
different goals:
(a) A few lessons for currency and a BFR right now, and
(b) Lessons towards an instrument's rating latter on.
Trying to decide where. Options...

CNX-80 question by
ROBIN FLY
I have seen some CNX-80 screen pictures with its built-in CDI showing the
course as a triangle, sometimes it points up and other times it points down.
What does it mean when it points up vs. down? Glideslope or VNAV?
Regards,
Robin Hou

Question re CNX-80 by
ROBIN FLY
Aviation Consumers in their review said that CNX-80 could be certified with its
built-in CDI. Is it true?
If it is true, does its built-in CDI provide G/S or VNAV indication?

1. Are glide-slop informations of LPV & LNAV/VNAV in 496's database?
2. If yes, can VNAV indicators on 496's HSI display this glide-slop

Thanks,

Trimble 2000X Navigator? According to this website, it will be
certified to TSO C146a (as Garmin GNS480) and at $6,500, this sounds
like a good deal. I have a Trimble GPS, but I thought Trimble sold its

ILS on Garmin GNC 420W by
[email protected]
Does 420W have ILS approaches in its database? I mean, can you set up
ILS approach in 420 to monitor your progress while flying ILS approach
on your good old KX-155? Thanks in advance,
