Alternate minimums same as forecast weather by
[email protected]
Does anyone consider it somewhat dangerous that at your alternate
airport, the weather can be forecast to be as low as your alternate
minimums? Seems the potential for problems.
For example, using Carlsad California CRQ as the planned alternate,
where the VOR-A is the approach you plan to fly...

I've changed servers and it's taken two weeks to get back. In the interim I
have had a first experience in an off-airport emergency landing. More when
the authorities get finished.

A couple of questions about IPC by
Paul Tomblin
I've only done one approach in the last 6 months. I've let my currency
lapse, so as I read the regs I now have to do an IPC, right? What does an
IPC consist of? Just 6 approaches and a hold, or is there more to it?
Can it be fewer than 6 approaches?

First IMC flight by
[email protected]
Hi folks,
It's been over a year since I got the rating, and aside from popping
through the
coastal stratus a few times, I never used it.
Well, yesterday I used it. 1.5 solid hours in the clouds. There
was a front
passing through Northern California. But it was all layered stratus
stuff, the

GNS430 on the Airway by
[email protected]
Hello,
I was on the ground at an uncontrolled field. I got a clearance to
"On departure fly runway heading Radar Vectors xyz VOR Victor xxx abc
VOR"
Before leaving, I programmed the entire route into the GNS430. Since
it doesn't have airways, I "synthesized" them by just putting in the
VORs and...

Jepps airport and VOR names ... how used? by
akiley
Question A: I'm trying to get fast and accurate at programming routes
(and possible reroutes) into the KLN94 and G1000 navigators our club
planes are equipped with. I was wondering, does ATC usually give you
the VOR 3 letter ID or the full name? If it's the full name and it's
unfamiliar...

This contains an angle on the story that I'd never heard befo that
Holly's pilot radioed another pilot that he was in trouble just before
the crash.

Closing IFR flight plan at uncontrolled field by
paul kgyy
If you want to maintain IFR status until you're on the ground at an
uncontrolled field, who do you call when you're on the ground, assuming
there's no remote ARTCC radio facility within reach?
FSS?

Navdata currency question by
[email protected]
Hello,
I have to make an IFR flight on or about the 15th of february. My plane
has a garmin GNS430 in it, and the navdata is several years out-of-date.
The GPS is also reporting navdata errors, so I need to get a new card. I'm
going to buy a Jepp one-time update.
The current Jepp cycle expires...

Tach Hours Recording INOP by

Anybody know whether this is an airworthiness issue? I was flying CAP cadets

Definition of simulated instrument conditions by
bsalai
Does anyone know if Simulated Instrument Conditions is defined anywhere?
The reason for the question is whether one can log instrument time, say
at night, when you don't look outside, but don't wear foggles or a hood?
I can't find anything in the rules that defines simulated...

Intercepting the ILS by

Hello,
Yesterday I was out getting an IPC. We were doing the Stockton, CA
ILS. ATC
had us intercepting the localizer at 2000 feet. The altitude for

interception is 1800 ( underlined ).
My old CFII taught me that the glideslope interception altitude on
the chart is a minimum...

Nasa Icing courses by
Jim Burns
As many of you probably know, recent midwest weather has been a steady
stream of low overcast, misty, and foggy days prohibiting most VFR flight
and making IFR flights a spin of the icing roulette wheel. I thought it may
be a good opportunity for us to review NASA's icing online...

PC flight sim for training? by

I have started on practical IFR training in the real world. (Vans
RV-9, hopefully RV-10 soon; mostly glass cockpit.) I do ok on
precision flying, but I would definitely like to practice patterns,
approaches, etc., at home before I go. just too few approaches per
training hour.
