Need Garmin 430 advice..... We were practicing IFR approaches at KOGD last week. ILS runway 03. Shoot the approach and fly the full miss including the hold at Moint. While holding at Moint, I want to load the approach for our alternative airport (KTVY). Anyone know how to load KTVY...

But her private pilot certificate is in her maiden name.....ugh!! I was filling out the IARCA form and it would not let me finalize the app as her written test is In her married name and she never changed her private pilot certificate to her married name.....Checkride is scheduled for 1:30pm...

I have a student who was well qualified to pass her check ride. She flies very well and has a lot of real world and actual IMC experience. We went out a few days ago for her last lesson (simulated check ride). It was 2,000 overcast with 10 miles visibility. Perfect practice in actual...

Does anyone know how to take a Garmin430 Traffic (TIS) out of "Standby Mode"? We recently had some avionics work done to our plane (installed a JPI 830 engine monitor...love it) and ever since then the TIS has been in Standby Mode. The JPI830 does talk to the GNS430 so I thought maybe a...

One of my IFR students was chatting with her buddy who is also getting their instrument rating. My student shared that his CFII's view on LPV approaches is different than mine. Here is the question: Non WAAS Garmin 430 - KOGD RNAV Z Approach: * We both agree, cannot shoot the approach...

What is the preferred method for filing for landings at multiple airports on one IFR flight plan? I normally file separate flight plans for each trip but I believe I read recently that you can simply file one flight plan when you are planning on doing touch & goes / stop & goes at one airport...

I have a student taking a checkride with an examiner that everyone loves but warns that he very big on GPS questions (ie, how many satellites do you need to use GPS enroute? What if you lose one satellite enroute? Could a satellite be operational but somehow be "lost" to your unit?, etc)...

OK, I admit it. 2,500 plus ATP pilot and I have never asked for VFR on Top. Shame on me but it is on my new year's list of resolutions. Ask for VFR on Top before my birthday (which is rapidly approaching). Any advice from those of you have used it? Also, if I see conditions detierating or...

Why is the VDP not authorized on KBMC GPS 34 approach when using Ogden's altimeter? http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/1004/05477R34.PDF I understand my MDA is 100 feet higher and thus my decent from the published VDP would be a bit steeper. But I would think the FAA would still want pilots waiting...

OK, there has to be an easy way to search for VOT locations to check my VORs. I've been using the two VORs to check against each other but I also like to do VOT checks. Short of looking at each airport in the AFD, does anyone know of an airport near me where I could one a VOT test? There...
