Question about the info in the Icing Airmet and the GFC. In the area right now between Ohio and Georgia there is an Airmet for icing between SFC and 20k. The GFA says tops are around 5k but there is CI ABV. I'm thinking that there is an area between 5k and 20k that is clear air based...

Passed checkride last Tuesday. Today was the first time I had an opportunity to fly some IMC. IMC encountered around 12:30 seconds. Was a nice flight to get my (solo) feet wet.

Question about VOR navigation. Lets say I have only two NAV radio CDI's in the airplane and a radio DME. Say I want to plan a flight on a V311 from the ELT VOR to the NELLO intersection. Flying from ELT to the first intersection, CORCE I can assure I'm on track because the VOR is only 38nm...

If I'm going to shoot a VOR-A DME approach to an airport. I load the approach and IAF into the 430. Lets say the IAF is the VOR. I can think of two ways to shoot the approach, just want to verify which is the acceptable one for the check ride. #1) Track inbound to the VOR via VLOC with the...

Is there a way to download the track from garmin pilot for android? Google search is not yielding anything.

I'd like to figure out what happened during a near miss at a towered class D airport. Here's what happened: Airplane 1: Myself IFR Student (PPL Pilot1 left seat), CFI (CFI pilot2 right seat and was my PPL instructor as well), Passenger 1 (backseat). Airplane 2: Unknown PPL student (PPL...

Anything good to stop and eat about mid way thought this course? https://skyvector.com/?ll=37.32299402360925,-82.35571288455954&chart=301&zoom=11&fpl=N0110A015%20KLZU%20undefined%20KTZR

Little confused about the RPM recommendations by Cessna and a 180HP conversion. Trying to understand how they get those numbers and why. Looking at the FAA type certificate for the 172n and the POH, lists the max RPM at 2700. Cessna seems to reference %75 power a lot in the POH, and Cruise...

Have a question, I'm sure it's tucked away in the vast archives here somewhere. The requirement for 50 hrs XC, and 40 hours of instrument, can they be done at the same time. Example, a 100nm round trip to somewhere under the hood count for 1 hr of XC and 1 hr of IFR training?

Question. I have a night XC, 2 hours left, and 1 hour of instrument left. Can these be concurrent if I incorporate VOR into the night XC?

Anyone have any insight on picking landmarks for night XC. The regular stuff might not be seen so easy. Would like to hear what's worked well for others here. I'm thinking the easy picks are other airports, VOR checkpoints, some lakes/rivers if the moon is out, big highways (street lights...

5 hrs required, with 150nm XC and one leg over 50miles. After I do the 150nm, can I burn up the rest of my XC time in airports within 50nm of my home airport?

Who is your favorite DUAT provider and why? Trying to figure out why there are several free ones out there, why not just go directly to the FAA to file them. Why the middle men?

Does anyone here have a good work sheet to work off of for cross country flight planning? The one I have out of the glem book isn't very good. also, anyone who has done cross country during the FAA oral/practical, what do they do for it? Do they have a template or do we bring our own?

One word. "SAINT". I had the pleasure of working with Bruce Chien for my 3rd class medical, as well as completing my medical with him this morning. After my experience and my research on the subject I believe if there is a way to get your medical, he has the answer. In my case, it wasn't...

Can someone confirm that the ADF/NDB questions are removed off the private pilot written (not IR).. I keep reading some conflicting posts.. Maybe I'm just confused.
