I only meant "NO CHARTS" since that was the gist of this thread. What would you do if you were in IMC without a chart? If I had nothing but backup instruments, I'd climb and use my handheld radio which has a primitive ILS. I've done a PAR approach before so if I had communications, that's a...

Good discussion. I guess if my iPad, my iPhone and my glass panel all go TU in the soup, then I'd say PAN, PAN, PAN and ask ATC for an altitude, a vector and the frequency of the nearest ILS. I usually print out plates beforehand as well, but this is my plan if I ever found myself without them.

As an engineer, you should know that as soon as we introduce software to override the pilot, we're entering a slippery slope. See the 737MAX for an example. As a former software developer, I can assure you that this is a bad idea.

My friend's son is interested in becoming an Air Traffic Controller. What's the best path?

I've taken my flying to a new level this year and I am very thankful to have this community along for the journey. A lot of learning and a lot of laughs can be had on POA. Thanks and Merry Christmas to all of you. Andrew

Offer a compromise. Start with $250 and be on your way for around $500. Then you're done and you've learned a valuable lesson. As you know, flying isn't cheap, this is just one small example. Besides, you may want to go back there someday.

Here's how this ended up: We filed to KEYE however as we got closer we ended up diverting to KIND due to low ceilings and better wind/runway alignment. Our SR22 didn't have WAAS so we preferred the ILS and big airport lighting to a non-precision approach with a strong crosswind. ATC was...

I'm looking to travel to Indianapolis (IND) from Nashville (JWN). Based on where I'm staying, KIND is the most convenient. Is it reasonable to fly into the big airport there? I'll be in a SR20 and I'm instrument rated. Any insights on costs for landing fees and overnight parking. It looks...

This would require common sense from the FAA.

I've "lost" my iPad due to heat, battery and "update required" all during flight. I would never rely on that thing in the soup.

When departing a satellite airport near, but not in, Class C, should I address them as Approach or Departure? My real life example is departing JWN and calling BNA.

I am impressed with the time and effort you put to fill in that hole after you got your plane out. I wish more people were like you.

I'm a huge of John and Martha's. The jokes and campiness make the material palatable. I nod off during the Sporty's stuff.

It seems like the OP was just trying to start a discussion on a discussion board.
