Hudson Valley Amusement
I am currently a ASEL private pilot and would like to get to Multi Commercial
Instument ASAP. I can dedicate full time to this and would like your opinions
on the best way to go about it.
There seem to be 2 schools of thought -

Using a tablet PC when airborne? by
john smith
It gets real interesting when you are bouncing around in turbulence.
I have an Apple Newton 2100 that I have used to record flight
information on. The Newton is kneeboard size.

Alan Pendley
Instrument Rating Checkride PASSED
After many months of study and training, I flew my Instrument rating
checkride on 10 December 2004, and passed! What a relief! I am now the
proud recipient of a Temporary Airman's Certificate with an Instrument
Airplane rating.

Total Air Temperature question by

Hi,
I fly a TB20 and a friend who has the same one with a Shadin air data
computer tells me that he normally gets (say 160 ktas, 10k feet, ISA)

X-country training flight by
dlevy
Should I file individual legs? I don't need to land. If I file individual
legs should I let the controller know before the approach that I'd like to
open the next leg at the missed?
Thanks!

Cleared for an approach, then given a different altitude assignment by
Peter R.
Today I was practicing a GPS approach and had been cleared for the
approach with the normal, "Cessna XXX, cross ELESE at 3,000, cleared
GPS 15 approach."
A minute or so later the controllers switched positions and another one
took over that slice of airspace.
The new one came on frequency and...

Alternate same as departure? by
dlevy
Can you file the departure airport as the alternate?
Two airports in the middle of nowhere 40 miles apart. I can't think of
another reasonable option.

Backup plates on PDA by
Stan Prevost
There have been a number of threads in this and other forums about which
approach charts to use, and about how the availability of free downloadable
charts from NACO affects the decision. Some pilots purchase full US or
regional subscriptions, others download and print just the charts they
expect...

Jep p or NACO Charts? by

Last week I finally got checked out in the club's Arrow.
During the training, the instructor noticed that I was using the NACO
charts and plates.
He uses the Jeppeson stuff and excitedly indicated that it is far superior
to the NACO charts. He gave me a few reasons, but when I looked at it...

GPS clearance puzzle by
Roy Smith
Apparently, if you file IFR HPN - MMU, you get a clearance which starts
"CMK CMK275R SAX039R SAX" (i.e. fly outbound on the CMK 275 until you
intercept the SAX 039, then fly that inbound to SAX). In the good old
days of 2 VOR receivers, this is trivial to fly; the radios don't know
or care that...

Just soloed on my 14th b-day! by
Tlewis95
I just soloed a Schweizer 2-33 on my 14th birthday! It was the very last day of
operations for the Windy City Soaring Association (11/28/04) and I was the last
flight of the season. I was amazed how much nicer the 2-33 seemed to fly solo
(or maybe it was just me).
A special thank you goes out...

IFR Bahamas? by
smf
Does anyone know about filing IFR in the Bahamas? I went to the Out Island
(Stella Maris) this past weekend. On return I filed a DVFR plan. It took
about 40 minutes flying time to get close enough to Nassau to contact
Naussau App. Does Mia center cover that far out?
thanks

Standalone GPS by

To keep me from looking at every approach plate PDF in the country for some
research I am doing, would you folks give me some examples of standalone
(not RNAV(GPS)) approaches in your areas of operation?
Thanks.
