Thanks! I forgot you'd put some approach plates on your site. I figured that
someone with the raw data had done it. Exactly what I was looking for. Now, why was I thinking that there are enough of these approaches to be worth the effort in certifying it?.... -Cory Kyler Laird wrote: : writes: : Hello all...

Agreed... with one addition. The "old-school" flying basically uses the chart
to filter this information. Looking at the chart that you presumably have folded open to where you are limits the scope of things you can look up to things nearby. I'm not sure there's a good answer to it.... typically problem finding a good way to filter through of too much information with a minimum amount of interraction. -Cory Teacherjh wrote: : : I don't want to have to poke the GPS dozens of times to find out : where I am relative to something else : (poke-poke-twist/twist-'K'-twist/twist-'P' : -twist/twist-'S'-twist/twist-'K'-twist/twist-enter).

Exactly what I was looking for. I'm not that good. I'd thought about doing something like that awhile ago but I hadn't gotten around to it. After I read your request this morning I decided to quickly whip together something simple. It's easier for me to work from an example. (Plus I'm avoiding studying for my final exam tomorrow...) BTW, the compilations should work for that list now. (I noticed you had a problem with it earlier. It wasn't dealing well with compiling plates for multiple airports.) Now, why was I thinking that there are enough of these approaches to be worth the effort in certifying it?.... Did you try searching for just "RNAV" approaches? There are a bunch more. https://aviationtoolbox.org/Members/...te=TN&state=NC --kyler |

wrote in message ... I just find it comical that throughout my avionics upgrade, many people categorically gave the knee-jerk reaction to install a Garmin 430 or 530 and that the KNS-80 was "obsolete junk." Apparently, if you don't fly behind a color, moving-map, I'm with you all the way... when I finish upgrading my panel at the end of this year, I will retain every form of navigation known to piston general aviation: VOR, KNS-80 VOR/DME RNAV, ILS, LDA, SDF, ADF, GPS, Loran There is a VOR/DME RNAV approach to CRW (Charleston, WV); I fly it occasionally with students in my airplane. When you fly the approach, admire the approach lighting system built on bridges through the mountains.. quite an impressive engineering feat. -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com |

The only I find for CRW are for the ILS 23. The Rho/Theta approaches go to 15 and 33. |

Redundancy is a good thing... and keeps you fresh on everything if you play with it all all the time. It's frightening to think of all the pilots out there (VFR or IFR) that get in, mount their hand-held color, moving-map GPS-295 to the yoke, punch direct-to and never look at anything else until they're on short final. : There is a VOR/DME RNAV approach to CRW (Charleston, WV); I fly it : occasionally with students in my airplane.

I've noticed that... maybe next time I fly up to Ohio to see family I'll shoot the approach on the way through for the certification checkout. -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * The prime directive of Linux: * * - learn what you don't know, * * - teach what you do. * * (Just my 20 USm$) * ************************************************** *********************** |
