Dr. Simon Tam reference, I presume. BTW, great topic. There was very little Internet discussion back in 2006 when I was working on my IR about approaches with DAs and the natural decent lower than them when initiating one's missed approach. My CFII did think it was a hard minimum, and I...

I took the family from just south of Omaha to Ft. Myers last December and we had a great time. Perfect weather and my wife found plenty of Groupons for things to do (kayaking, parasailing, boat trip to see dolphins, etc.). Our stop on the way down was in Eufaula, AL, and we loved it! Spent...

Congratulations to Mr. Weber! Just like we like to see the younger set getting into GA, it's great to see more experienced pilots finding ways to stay with it. A couple of months ago I was present when four pilots in Red Oak Iowa were awarded the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award on the...

I called Garmin to see, and they told me that all the various upgrades are bundled into the main software upgrade. So there is that answer.

Getting ready to upgrade my GTN Main Software to version 5.13 and my GTX 330 to version 7.04. I should only have to tell my avionics guy to update to the latest and everything should get done, but to satisfy the inner micro-manager in me, I have a question. Stating SW version 7.04 for the...

One more plug for the PMA8000BT. Chose this over Garmin's top-of-the-line when upgrading avionics in late 2011. Had several hundred hours behind a PMA340 and like the PSE much better. One thing I do experience with it most of the time that I'm curious about, but haven't contacted Mike at PSE...

Back on the Bellanca idea, take a look at the attached picture that I took on the way back from my annual a couple of weeks ago. If you zoom in on the Aspen you'll see I'm doing 154kts at 10.6gph. Granted, this is lean of peak, but I sure wouldn't say that it is hard on fuel. Getting over...

Those pictures make me wish that I would have gotten my camera out at the airport yesterday. Jesse, I'm just east of you, and south of Omaha at PMV. My hanger is south-facing on the southern-most row. The airport is currently closed, but I'm hopeful that they'll get it open today because I...

Ron, Glad that you had so much input and were able to make an informed decision. I have been paperless (aside from backups printed from Aviator TripPack, an awesome free program) for about 2.5 years in my Six. Similar to you, I run a 530 (actually 2 530W's) in the panel, but wanted an EFB...

John, Thanks for getting back to me on the only real question I had from my post. Concerning all of the other questions about the three types of approaches (PA, APV, and NPA), I think I gave all of the salient references. And I am truly sorry to all about resurrecting a post that petered...

Was looking for the statement that if you have WAAS, you don't need to meet the requirement of choosing an alternate airport that has something other than GPS approaches. Still haven't found it specifically stated that way, but since WAAS is allowable as single-source navigation, it makes sense...

Thanks for the vector. I have captured the localizer.

Ron, Like you said, I didn't need to get the FOI endorsement prior to getting my GI certificate. But just to be clear, since I now already have taken the FOI and have my GI certificate, I don't need to take it again and will be able to get my CFI without ever having gotten an endorsement for...

Gene, Contrats! I'm working on my first homework assignment in preparation for my own CFI certificate. Good to know that hard-work does pay off. Joe
