I know. That is pretty obvious no? It only takes one. There are other RNAV LPV approaches with a DA that has a HAT of 300ft or less. One nearby has an RNAV LPV approach with DA at 200ft HAT. That is the same as a typical CAT I ILS. Not too shabby. The concern was some DPE's may still not...

As long as you can do a precision, non-precision and a circling you are good. If you have WAAS and the approach has LPV minimums, you can use that in lieu of an ILS for the precision approach requirement. All in the ACS Great, home field RNAV 1 and 19 both have LPV. 311 HAT and 290 HAT at DA...

So I have a IFR training aircraft with GNS420W, dual G5's. It has VOR/LOC but not GS receiver. GS may be a common option, but it was not purchased due to being big bucks.. Not my plane so no whining please. Ha ha. Talked to GARMIN and they said LPV is accepted as a precision approach, by some...

There are so many things for me to say. Great stuff, but to the GNS430W does not come with GS receiver automatically. It is an additional charge the owner did not pay for. Tuning the LOC in you do not GS on the G5. There is no GS receiver because it cost $4000. It has a VOR/LOC receiver. No...

I appreciate the info. So one things was auto switch to CDI which I thought had to be manual. Thanks for that. Some other comments are not correct likely due to not understanding. OK GPS is substitute for DME. The limit on IAP says RADAR or DME required for arrival. Got it, GPS WAAS has RNP to...

I am a CFI INST and have an Instrument student. Been CFI-I-ME for 33 years but have not instructed much last 20 years. In that time GNS430W came out 18 yrs ago. So I am learning as well. Airliners don't have Garmin. I am pretty proficient with the 430W, with RNAV approaches. However something...

THANKS!!!! Great tips. What I was looking for.... Too bad they did not come out with the 1970 B-model out the gate. The first year or two ruined the reputation. I like the DOOR opening in wind comment. I can see how they are sails. The little roll out eyebrow windows are cute & effective, but...

I am teaching a PVT student in C177B 180HP and CS Prop. First flight went well. As CFI I have zero time in C177B. The student has time with other instructors and C172. He decided to biy this plane and I am finishing his PVT. Needs 10 hours of solo... dual and solo cross country, flight test...

That is what I am thinking. I will keep it under my hat. Going to fly with student Saturday.

Question: How much of a student pilots time in rotary wing transfer to fixed wing (PVT). A prospective student who contacted me, former Navy (non flying), has about 40 hours icivilian helicopter training years ago, some solo time. He wants to get his fixed wing rating after a long hiatus...

I just joined a flight club as a flight instructor (CFI-II-ME) that has an IFR certified WAAS GPS, dual G5's, Cessna 152. Since 85 kts if max flap speed I suppose we could fly approach at 75 kts and half flaps. I like to keep some power on during approach. About me... I am a 10,000 hr ATP. I...

This is a great thread. I can say one down side of gliders is it's not a solo activity. You typically have to join a club, drive a distance to get to that field, and then plan on spending the day or weekend at the field most of the summer to get your turn to fly, to get your ticket. Winter in...

This is an old thread. My search of panel information about my current RV-7 project brought me here. I have something to add. I agree with all the post explaining experimental panels to OP. By title, OP says RV panels are terrible (and Glasair panels are better). OK I'll bite. I built a IFR...
