Its the Cowboys.... no harm, no foul....

Thank you for the link.

If I remember right Victor airways are 8 miles wide, 4 miles either side of a centerline... Some MOA's and other SUA's appear to be defined by the presence of an Airway along their border, offset by a requisite distance. Granted some airways penetrate some SUA's. For VFR thats your problem. For...

This link will provide some insight, and lead you to a series of blogs that are somewhat dated but still accurate regarding ATC and the system. It gives some of the "why is it this way" from an ATC perspective. The articles are over 10 years old, so if you try to follow examples by pulling out...

Agreed... but the approach lights on a non-precision runway are not required to be anywhere's close to what you would find on a category 1(or better) ILS. At DH/DA you are over the functioning light array at 200 feet. At MDA on a nonprecision, you might be 400 vertical and who knows how far...

Correct, for alternate filing purposes the airport must have the required approaches and required weather... Once filed, IF you divert there (or anywhere else) you can accept and fly any approach you are capable of accepting.

Would make sense for the RA to read the height above ground at the decision point and have that be the decision height value, not the height above threshold or airport reference point.... Now, whether that's the case, I do not know.

One is read with a baro altimeter (altitude above sea level) One is read with a radar altimeter (if so equipped, as height above ground). Decision altitude is the point on a precision approach glideslope (or defined descent path) where you look up and if you see the field you can commit to...

It must be accurate. And if you are insulted, it must be something you are ashamed of. If you are ashamed of that, well.. thats unfortunate. Your English is very good, but its still apparent English is not your first/native language. People who were born here in the US have a different style of...

The VOR 26 gets you down to 337 AGL... but the straight in GPS only to 506? The approach courses are not overlaid, the VOR being slightly offset, but I'm not sure I get this one either.. The runway markings would have to be adequate for the VOR 26 to have such low minimums.

Practically? No. This technology optimizes the engine to be able to perform well in multiple regimes (acceleration, cruise, deceleration where the amount of power desired, boost, and other parameters may vary widely over a short period of time).. and while that might provide a SLIGHT benefit...

International student in a professional flight school? Assignment due in the morning? In AC90-100a Chg 2, Section 7: 7. RNAV SYSTEM ELIGIBILITY. a. Aircraft with a statement of compliance to this AC in their Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), or the operating...

"Its on the checklist".... I saw a little bit of this last night dealing with college educated health professionals "following protocol" rather than looking at the big picture. My head wanted to explode about the 4th time I heard "its in the protocol" and they were doing things to my patient...

And yea... at 1-2 AM overnight, the board is kind of slow.. no need to post in multiple places... once will do.

Yes. You can do it. RNAV 1 refers to a navigational system that has less than 1 mile system error over 95% of the flight, or words of similar effect. RNAV 2 refers respectively to a 2 mile error 95% of the time. DME/DME RNAV, inertial nav, etc may not meet this spec. IFR GPS equipment that can...

I jumped through a bunch of hoops once for a specialty product (injector boss for fabbing our own intake) from a guy in Canada. Only took Discover, or International Postal MO. Only shipped with DHL. Had extensive reasons for not doing business with other cards or shippers. In his case, he was...

I had my ticket at 44 hrs. At 100 hrs I was knee deep in instrument training in an Arrow and had the complex endorsement already.

Capt Katie Higgins is in her second year with the Blue Angels team. Maybe you didn't know. Or maybe she doesn't count because shes crew on Fat Albert, not the main showbirds....

I'm more interested in what kind of camera or software you used and how you mounted it.... Can you share details?

Depends on if the major airport is a hub or not (i.e you have a direct flight or a connection?) I live in the shadow of a large hub city. So the hub airline does a lot of nonstop out of here, and all the other guys do nonstop out of here to their respective hubs. I could beat the airlines...
