A friend of mine has a birthday coming up and wants to go flying. We've been thinking of going up to Oshkosh to visit the museum. I looked up KOSH on airnav and under the information for the 2 FBOs, one has 'UNICOM 122.95' and the other 'ASRI 130.525' What is ASRI and how does it differ from a...

I know I can use an approved GPS as a substitute for ADF and DME to identify fixes on an approach. For example, a VOR approach with a note "DME required" and the FAF is identified by a DME distance. But how is that done with the 430W? Do I just load the approach in the 430W as normal (which...

I've been looking over approaches in my area and this one has me confused: http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/1106/00915I31.PDF There's a couple things I don't get and I'm hoping someone here can help me out. 1) When I'm using the VOR as the IAF, I fly to it and outbound on R-160 and follow the teardrop...

Is there any way to have a private airport with an instrument approach? If so, how would that get set up?

Lots of effort went into this tiny airport. It even has moving vehicles including planes taking off and landing. http://singularityhub.com/2011/05/11/worlds-largest-model-airport-completed-in-hamburg-germany-150-square-meters-costing-4-8-million/

Has anyone taken the instrument written recently? If so, were there any unexpected topics covered? I'm planning to take it fairly soon and I've heard there have been changes to several of the written exams. I'd rather not get hit with any major surprises when I take the exam.

I'm about to finish the instrument rating and figured I might as well get the commercial rating done while I'm still in the training mindset. A while ago I read about proposed changes to eliminate the complex aircraft requirement from the commercial rating. Is this going to happen in the near...

I've been looking at sectionals for an upcoming flight and I see KRFD has a TRSA. I've never come across one before. I read the part in the AIM about it and that tells me what it is, but I'm still unclear about how to use it. Can I just treat the area the same as a class D with approach control...

I'm filling out an 8710 form for a checkride and I'm wondering what to put in the cross country sections. Do I put all time when landing at a different airport, or only the >50nm XC time?

Is it possible to get a waiver to allow flying below 500 ft over a non congested area for a one time event? If so, how would I do that and how much of a hassle would it be?

Hi everyone, first post here and I'm looking for input from some more experienced pilots. I'm just beginning my IFR training and I'm wondering about how much utility I'll actually get out of the rating. The planes I'd be flying are your typical GA single trainers (warrior, 172, 182, etc...)...
