    Avidyne 440 vs GN355/175/375

    I have a 375 in my Skyhawk. You can load a Vor or ILS approach in the 375 and fly it but it is not approved for those approaches but only as a backup to the Nav/Com. The Vor and ILS approaches will be displayed on the screen.

    Things I Learn in IFR Training - Who Knew?

    Definitely not giving the approach course last priority. Just emphasizing the importance of knowing the missed instructions and DA before you begin. That's all. In a recent thread it was mentioned that two IFR accidents occurred while executing missed approaches. A missed will be on the...

    If you ever do a POA lunch fly in at the Pic 'N Pig, you might not want to gobble down the brisket, beans and slaw before you take that long cross country back home.

    Trolls

    My understanding is that north of the Mason-Dixon line that "troll" is pronounced with a strong "ah" sound, much like the sound when the doctor places the tongue depressor in your mouth and asks you to say "ah" . However, in the deep south it is pronounced with a strong "oh", much like the...

    I had the brisket there the other day. I must say it was very good along with a very "nice" waitress that served us. I did double park but did so to be near a group of Birddogs that came in. Very nice planes [ I want a Birddog ] . Interesting thing was the dining area was packed, that is,no...
