This is a Garmin GTX-330 that was recently pulled from my plane as part of an upgrade. It is not an ES model, but is ready for the ES upgrade which would make it 100% ADS-B compliant. It does include TIS-A which shows traffic on a MFD and makes aural traffic call-outs. I have owned it since new...

This 430W was removed from my Bonanza recently as part of an upgrade. I have owned the GPS since new, and it has been in a plane that is always hangared. It was serviced by Garmin several years ago and received a new screen, complete tune, updated firmware and test. Everything works like new...

I'd ask for VFR on top. That has worked for me in the past.

This has probably been mentioned in the thread (I only read the first page)... You do not need functional radios at all to get your family safely on the ground. Put 7600 in the transponder and go land. Don't just circle as weather gets even worse. Just go land!!

The Arlington, WA Fly-In is July 6-10. This is the 3rd largest in the country. Arlington Fly-In Radio is streaming live to the web for the duration of the event. If you can't make it in person, you can listen in to the live PA feed, interviews, podcasts, etc. Live streaming ATC is also...

It says: FAA FLY SAFE

This is like new and was only used a few times by a B52 pilot. This kit converts a standard Bose X headset for military/helicopter use. It includes a dynamic mic, battery box/controller, coil cord, and single plug. It is in the factory packaging and includes very easy instructions. It is...

I ride and I fly... Though statistics can be spun any number of ways.. the death rate for exposure in small airplanes and motorcycles is roughly the same... (I have studied both quite a bit). That said, I feel way safer flying. Most people die while flying due to pilot error of some type...

I had an A/P without alt hold, and now have one with.. I use it all the time and would never consider going back.

It's a neat place. You land and taxi on the damp sand, staying away from the dry stuff. After landing, you have to push the plane back as the tide comes in, and toward the water when the tide goes out.

My Bonanza can easily take me to visit my clients landing at the major airports in style. It can also take me to some really neat places on a whim for fun. There isn't anything airport like about the Copalis airport on the Washington coast. It is an official state airport (which keeps insurance...

It sounds like the instructions were incomplete. I had the opportunity to fly the exact same approach today, and was given what I expected. As I was close to AUBRN I got a vector to intercept the localizer. Makes much more sense that way!

Jason, thanks for the good info. I was departing PSC for BFI in a Bonanza. It turned out to be nice VMC all the way too! (though I think it may had just burned off at the destination)

Wow, lots of responses to my question! I was very simply "cleared for the Boeing Field ILS 31L approach", while a few miles from AUBRN. I still don't see what I am technically supposed to do at that point. I wasn't given a vector, and I wasn't told to intercept the localizer. Sure, I knew...

I didn't get any vectors. I simply got a "cleared for the approach". It seems to me I should have been on a published transition..?

I figured that,.. but what does it mean to me other han expect a possible delay and hold?

I have heard the phrases "wheels up time" and "flow-control" used before, but haven't paid too much attention since I assumed they wouldn't apply to me. While calling for my clearance today I was told there was flow-control in effect at my destination and asked what my wheels up time would be...

I fly IFR quite a bit, but every once in a while I get a question that stumps me. I was flying from PSC to BFI today and was given an arrival procedure in my clearance that looked like this: PSC V204 YKM V4 CHINS CHINS6 Charts: CHINS6: http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0903/00582CHINS.PDF ILS31L ...
