    Why is an ADF required?

    Ed, it's basically the same answer as what I posted just previously. To use the 084 radial as a feeder, the localizer would have to provide you with reliable off course indications throughout the whole length of the radial from the VOR to the centerline of the LOC and beyond. It just don't work...

    Why is an ADF required?

    More than meets the eye here. The three feeders leading to the CBE NDB (GRV to CBE, KEYER to CBE, and FLINT to CBE) all have courses that are completely or significantly outside of the I-CBE service volume. As we all remember (hopefully!) off course indications outside of the service volume are...

    TV show you think went off the air too soon

    The CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. I like a good mystery. Actually, I thought "The Invaders" ended far too soon.

    What type of instrument scan do you use?

    I'm not sure what method I use but whatever it is....it seems to work. It's probably a cross between staring at the PFD and glancing at the MFD. Except in the Mooney.....then I really have to work. :)

    OK, what was the first plane where you sat in the pilot's seat?

    DC-3 at New Bedford Airport in Massachusetts. I think I was six years old. It's probably still flying. Now I only act like I'm six years old.

    It sure was nice to see you too Tris. Our work out East got cut a bit short due to WX and we got to get home a couple of hours early. Pretty good lunch special for 5 bux, huh? Glad you could make the trip!

    Carrer change to fliying

    Gaby, I don't think that 29 is too old to start doing anything so why would flying be any different? I started my long, strange trip into flying for work at age 30. While I didn't take a structured route towards a life in aviation I've certainly had one since making the change. I've done...

    Pistol target shooting

    Jesse, It looks like the link to the Oklahoma OSBI site that I have is broken so I can't show you the reference you want but this is a paraphrase from the Oklahoma Self Defense Act book. "a person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who has been attacked in a place where they have...

    Pistol target shooting

    Same for me here in OKC. I carry a CZ-75 in 40 cal for personal protection and target practice. The only thing I change is the ammunition.

    I've tried them all I think. Give Randolph Engineering a shot. They are designed by pilots for pilots. B)
