RNAV 10 missed approach point is 2 miles from the runway at 700 agl (3deg). Visibility minimum is also 2 miles. Gotta see the runway or its lights at the MAP and thereafter to continue. You think these guys had the runway in sight at 2 miles? They were misaligned to the right on short final but...

I agree with you on how to keep this from happening. I experience the same issue sometimes when arriving at GAD from the east and I'm ready to tell them we'll do 1 turn in the holding pattern to descend if necessary. In fact, since we are not being vectored, haven't been cleared for the...

Incredibly reckless. It will be much more than a chat. That person can kiss his pilots license goodbye. I would guess that alcohol was involved. Why would a sober pilot risk everything?

I saw it in a short-lived thread about the collision at VAF. I don't remember who posted it originally. The photo still exists in a newer VAF thread about formation safety.

Cajun Flyer, You have a lot of patience and and a logical approach to this and I wish you the best in your flying.

I've seen a pilot that was new in type press down and forward on the trim switch without realizing what he was doing. In a few seconds, we had full nose down trim at cruise speed. As you can imagine, the force required on the yolk was very high. His initial reaction was "what the h___ is wrong...

You've probably read Lycoming SB 533B. According to your description and the SB, there was no prop strike, no repair needed and nothing to log.

Maintain VFR while IFR: Happened to me yesterday departing Lakeland, FL. I received the IFR clearance before taxiing and a takeoff clearance from the tower with instructions to fly straight out for 2 miles before turing on course. That seemed a bit odd for an IFR departure. About a mile out, the...

The founder of Team Aerodynamix is also a moderator at VAF so it's no surprise that any discussion of the incident except his statement is being suppressed.

This is the RV-8, N8JL that was involved in the mid-air collision at Tuscaloosa, Al on March 29.

That appears to be Danny Kight's RV-6. He calls himself "Speedy".

You covered it pretty well. How about the Decision Altitude?

Yesterday, KLGA tower was issuing the following advisory to arriving aircraft: "Be advised, we have a snowbank on radar that may trigger an automatic go-around alert so be prepared for that." Is anyone familiar with the operational details of the automatic go-around alerting system?

Flat rate for a 430W is $900. https://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/support/warranty-information/out-of-warranty

17, they did jam you a bit since you would normally be at 3300 about 7 miles from the FAF. The GS altitude at 4 miles from the FAF is 3500+ so you were below it. If they are vectoring me to the final, I want to intercept the final approach course at least 1 mile out for every 300 feet above the...

Mike, I downloaded the app yesterday and have IOS 7 on the iPhone. The app doesn't show up in the settings, notification list of those included and I do not understand how to make it appear in that list. Help :)

Configure the 430 or 530 RS-232 output that sends data to the 330: "ADS-B Out+"

Definitely a little screech owl.

Yes and aircraft radio is AM, not FM.

You are almost there. Even though you have TIS traffic on the 430w there are a couple more things to do to receive all the ADS-B traffic. If you've not already done so, have the avionics shop update the 430w software to the latest (5.0) version. You will also need a wire from an RS-232 output on...
