Reference? Not trying to be confrontational by continuously asking for a reference, but that's the whole crux of this discussion: Everybody seems to have their own predisposition, but no FAA source has been found or presented as of yet...

Why would it not be? According to the Instrument Flying Handbook's Glossary, a waypoint is defined as "geographical locations, or fixes, used to define an area navigation route or the flightpath of an aircraft employing area navigation. Waypoints may be any of the following types: predefined...

But why should we have to do that if we've spent thousand of dollars on those shiny little boxes of magic that do it all for us??? ;)

That's the whole point of what I'm trying to get at... What reference do you have to back-up the assumption? And unless they said, how was I to know they meant a VOR? I knew there was a Farmington airport, as I was just assigned it's current altimeter setting, but I didn't even know there was...

This clearly not a standard. The St. Louis VOR (STL) is about 9nm NW of the field, while the on-field VOR is Cardinal (CSX). I guess your suggestion of them being named the same would make too much sense...

Seems as though this is the first time it's made a difference with me, as the other usual routes I fly are filed as the VOR (PNT vs. KPNT) when the VOR is off-field, or when the VOR is on-field and it didn't really matter (ORD vs. KORD). So obviously this has been a problem brought to their...

I completely overlooked that, thanks.

So when cleared to a fix in which an airport and a ground-based NAVAID share the same name, what's the proper phraseology? If I'm reading JO 7110.65V 4-2-1b2 correctly, then it must be stated directly. I hear it all the time when assigned "direct St. Louis VOR." However, the specification is...

Naw, it was awesome. It was amazing how clearly you could see it quickly building and "bubbling" outwards only a mile or two away.

They are, but not nearly that desperate. Although, perhaps he knows GoJet's chief pilot or something, and there's a bit 'o back-scratching going on. Either way, something doesn't add up...

This is a new one to me. Hell, as far as I've heard, they only just recently started even looking at folks without the ATP written done...

Was it a Caravan around 7:30-ish? If so, I take offense to your comment... I mean, thanks for the admiration! lol ;) We were the first into KSTL after about a 40 minute delay and ground-stop due to the 50kt wind-shear, extreme precip and a tornado alert.

Definitely not normal; I've never had an AHRS failure in the handful of years I've been flying with 'em. I would think that with the GRS 77 being an LRU, it should be able to be replaced with a working loaner without much of a headache while it get's a checkup from a doctor, so you can keep...

Indeed. But I wouldn't expect any less from Richard...

Who's saying he's gonna get a second class? It's only needed if you exercise the privileges, but not to take the checkride and continue flying afterwards.

My Avemco went down with my commercial as well as instrument.

Sure. Not to sound like a smart-a$$, but a benefit would be to be able to get paid to do some flying for pay. It'd also reduce your insurance costs. Bragging rights... :dunno: I'm guessing that if you've been flying a while, then mostly home-study with a bit of CFI time and you'd knock...

Well there's your problem; The wing is supposed to stay in the air... :nono: ;)

I've been right here in St. Louis, not ending my sentences with redundant prepositions... lol :D
