We had someone from Kansas City who was going to stay with us during the EAA Airventure, but changed his mind about coming. So now my wife and I are happy to offer our spare bedroom in our house in northern Appleton, Wisconsin, about 35 minutes from EAA in Oshkosh. It isn't much, just a futon...

I thought you folks might get a kick out of the reaction of the fellow who will be staying with us during EAA. Here's some of what he's written (with his permission): ************************************************************ HOLY COW!!!!!! i don't believe it. i've been dreaming about going...

I just wanted to inform Seattle area pilots about a new school that started in Renton Municipal Airport. We are AcuWings, a family owned business. The reason we started the school is because we felt the void in Renton Airport for an alternative outfit. We currently have a Piper Tomahawk that is a...

I am a 300+ hour private pilot living and flying in the NYC area (specifically Caldwell NJ / Teterboro). I am interested in taking an accelerated instrument course and have been attracted to the PIC 10 day course and other similar 10 day courses. I already have about 10 hours of simulator time...

This bit sums up all that is wrong with European flying :- "Respondents should note, however, that EASA will need to establish instrument rating requirements that are appropriate for European operations and weather conditions and that previous work by experts indicates that requirements based...

1. what's a VDP and how does one compute it. 2. how many phases of an approach (IAP) and how do you tell each from the other 3. what's a GRID MORA 4. what's a THINGS 5. what's the min ATC separation under IFR 6. drift-down?

Is there a site that provides online RAIM predictions for the US? I know that Flight Service is supposed to be able to provide this, but it would be nice to have another source. Barry

Anyone out there using the Garmin 96c handheld GPS? I have discovered a glitch that may be a significant firmware problem on the 96c (and maybe the 96). When projecting a waypoint on a bearing from between 165 to 181 degrees FROM any existing waypoint in the 96c's internal aviation datatbase on...

Now let's take 91.175. The USA mandates the use of a published IAP. The UK does not. 91.1 says p91 does not apply outside the USA. Does this mean one can fly an unpublished IAP in the UK? I don't see anything in 91.1 saying that it does not apply outside the US. It says that it does...

When doing an ILS approach, with the glideslope, is it a requirement to be able to identify the outer marker or a substitute? FAR 91.175(k) lists the outer marker as one of the "basic ground components" and gives the acceptable substitutes, but doesn't explicitly say that it's required. The AIM...

A CFI with airplane single-engine rating but not instrument-airplane (not a CFII) gives flight instruction to a private pilot. Part of the flight is in the clouds, with the private pilot flying. Can the CFI log instrument time under FAR 61.51(g)(2): "An authorized instructor may log instrument...
