During my IPC today the topic of ceilings and visibility at alternate came up. Precision approach at alternate ceilings must be 600. Non-precision ceilings must be 800. Given that for a checkride an LPV is counted as a precision approach, how is it counted when selecting an alternate?

Looking for a pirep for the EchoUAT with Skyfyx. Looks like a relatively inexpensive solution for experimentals. Sorry certified folks :->

I'm looking at an airplane with a GPS 150XL installed. I'd be very interested if I could swap the 150XL for a 155XL. Does anyone know if the two use the same tray? I can't think of a reason why they shouldn't be able to, but it is Garmin....

I'm planning a flight from KGTU to KSSF. They're close enough that the BNDIA2.BNDIA departure pretty much overlaps with CWK.MARCS1 arrival. Which would you choose and why? BNDIA2.BNDIA CWK.MARCS1

I thought I had seen some discussion on this but nothing showed up in a search.... I've had my IR for a couple of years now. When I first started using it I would slow to approach speed after passing the IAF so I wouldn't get behind the airplane (as much anyway). Now it seems like I'm just...

I searched around and couldn't find anything on this. I'm sure someone will prove me wrong :-> I recently went from an airplane with a wing leveler to one with GPSS/coupled approach. At first I used heading and vs mode to the FAF. I started playing around with coupled approaches and thought way...

I'm planning an IPC in Foreflight with approaches into a couple of airports. I can figure out how to add an approach at the first airport to the flight plan. When I tap procedure in FPL it just gives me the final destination. When I navigate to procedures in the intermediate airport details I...

Well, the Grumman has gone east (literally) and I'm renting until I can figure out my next step. I've found a 1969 Cherokee 6 300 to rent and can't find the answer to a fuel question. I've looked in the airplane manual and the archives and no joy. The inboard fuel tanks have tabs. How much fuel...

I've started renting a plane with a GX60. I've been flying behind a g400 series so somewhat familiar with the buttonology/knobology. I used the 4xx simulator extensively and found a simulator on the Garmin site for the GXx series. Problem is I can't get it to install on my Win7 SP 1 machine. I...

OK, I know the two don’t really go together. But everything is relative:-) I’m looking down the road to a part 135 job and need to get multi and build time. This would be a replacement for my current single bug smasher. Basically needs a low acquisition and low maintenance cost. Four place is...

I'm actually going through some scenarios to sharpen my skills :) Let's say I'm off airway IFR and the controller tells me to hold at crossing radials. How do I set this up on a Garmin 400 series? I go to the user waypoint page and can enter radial and distance from a VOR. It shows a place for a...

Is there a rule of thumb for initial offset angle when doing HILPT teardrop entry? KBWD RNAV 17 coming from the southeast using MUSRE IAF. 8 mile holding pattern. Normal 30 degree offset for teardrop obviously doesn't work.

Dumb question from a newby.... So I'm on a instrument flight plan in contact with ATC but not on radar. They clear me direct to the middle part of the T on an RNAV approach and cleared for the approach. I'm a few miles from the T end but in that direction. The approach plate shows a hold if not...

I'll apologize up front. I know I've seen threads on this but can't find any. What is the authorizing document for using GPS for VOR approach to the MAP?

I've been looking at DPE's in my area and found Terry Strange in Granbury TX. I like the idea of doing the check ride in less congested air space since that's pretty much what I fly in. Any body have experience with Terry? Thanks!

I came across something today I haven't seen mentioned and couldn't find anything in formal or informal references. It's when you're flying a GPS approach with a waypoint for a missed approach hold and no other way to identify the waypoint. What's the procedure for the missed if you lose your...

Looking for a good Grumman mechanic in the Oklahoma City area for a pre-buy. Any input is appreciated!
