I used him for my PPL, very easy going guy. John sends everyone up there. Les took his test with him and said it was a good test. I guess I could use anyone..

The update from Dec 1st 2016 seems different. Looks like the World/North America files no longer work when renamed to worldwide.bin. Anyone else try this recently?

Using Randy..

Good point.. I didn't really look close at the missed hold fix, but that would work. Generally I wasn't sure if it was legal to shoot a VOR approach without DME if he had failed it. As you mention should be possible to shoot the approach without any DME, just not sure if it's legal to do so.

The scenario that I'm thinking of here that might happen is that I'm not at the FAF yet and he covers the GPS which has my DME. In that case, I'm thinking that I can track the TO radial to the VOR, turn etc, but without the GPS I have no DME. In that case, is using the switch of TO/From to...

KMAC - VOR-A What's the point of actually using the VOR, the GPS will track the FR radial same as the NAV. Why wouldn't both be acceptable?

I'm getting DME from the GPS. They are the same device in this case. So scenarios 1 and 2 both still apply.

If I'm going to shoot a VOR-A DME approach to an airport. I load the approach and IAF into the 430. Lets say the IAF is the VOR. I can think of two ways to shoot the approach, just want to verify which is the acceptable one for the check ride. #1) Track inbound to the VOR via VLOC with the...

Is there a way to download the track from garmin pilot for android? Google search is not yielding anything.

Well, we knew what the plan was, we planned the ILS 31 and then the IFR 23 approaches at an airport to the east. The airport is '090 from our airport. VFR flight or IFR flight we take off 25, L crosswind, the L down wind and then about the numbers we turn toward the training airport about 10...

This was something that crossed our mind as well. Complacency of everyone's part. We assume they are looking out for us since it's controlled airspace, and would give us guidance if there was traffic in our way. They give us direction all the time.. I think I expected it. I've learned from it..

This one does and I've been up there and actually met and talked with the controller who was on duty previously. But I think the problem here was an early turn out. I think in the future I'll turn out after 700AGL, or get clearance from the tower for early turn out. I'll make sure all three...

I don't think anyone is going to escalate it. We all learned something I think.. I've met the controller who was on duty in person about a year ago. I'm friends with the CFI in airplane 2. Everyone was a bit boggled about what happened. Hindsight is 20/20. I was at fault for turning...

Nope, it was the same flight that we've flown 100x before (ppl and ifr traning). Tower always clear 25 and proceed on course.

So what I saw in the AIM was that the turn to crosswind should be beyond the runway end, and within 300ft of TPA. The thing that scares me is that me and everyone else in the club (most likely) takes this sort of early crosswind departure all the time, including the CFI I train with (he's the...

We were still climbing because we were going down wind and travelling east to our destination, about TPA is 2100ft so we were going to make our turn to 090 in the next few seconds to leave the pattern. Pilot 4 said they were at 2100 the entire time on the downwind.

I corrected it, I was in the left seat in airplane 1, and the other student was in the left seat in airplane 2.

I'd like to figure out what happened during a near miss at a towered class D airport. Here's what happened: Airplane 1: Myself IFR Student (PPL Pilot1 left seat), CFI (CFI pilot2 right seat and was my PPL instructor as well), Passenger 1 (backseat). Airplane 2: Unknown PPL student (PPL...
