You don't need boots and a hot plate to fly in ice, just knowledge and skill.

uh -oh......no, not again!!!!! I hope the tree fell in the forest and nobody was around to hear it!

Remember the old article "Ice Without Fear"?

Written by the guy who flew Hale Boggs in Alaska and their airplane disappeared without a trace. But I'll bet there was more than "a trace" when it did!

UAL78...
Not to worry. I forgot to mention that you also need to be flying a Turbo 182.

I think I saw something about him on the Discovery Channel. Wasn't he flying a Cessna 310 when he went down?

How ironic, he writes the article, then crashes and dies before the article is even published.

The 430 is wonderful to have and will actually make instrument flying much easier. Dont be intimidated by all of the features, they become very resourceful once you've gained an understanding on how to use them. The 430 simulator is a very helpful too.

Here's some exercises you should practice on the simulator.

Set your starting point by dialing in the airport you're at airport.

Once airborne, go direct to the airport you wish to do approaches at. Do this by pushing the D button and dial inthe destination.

Once you've obtained a direct course, push the PROC button. This will pull up the apporaches available at the destination airport. Select the manner in which you plan to execute the apporach. You can go direct to a IAF or to receive vectors. At this point you can load or activate it. Activiate it. This will create a course to the fix. Make sure the CDI button is correctly set to GPS or LOC. After you have a course in the upper right window, set the HSI or OBS to that course and bug it.

From here, the GPS unit will make all course changes and prompt you with the MSG feature as to what heading you neeed to set and fly including holding pattern entries for PT's.

When you've passed the MAP you'll have to hit the button to unsuspend the course. Once you do this you will be given the course to the published missed.

Make up a checklist of the items you need to do on the thing during the checkride. Then, on the checkride, refer to your checklist as needed. If you don't want to make one, I have some for sale that cover the need-to-know-stuff --including holding patterns.

The GPS is a tested item on your instrument checkride. Be able to demonstrate a GPS approach to a misssed or full-stop on the unit. Get adequate knowledge of the regulations concerning use of the GPS in lieu of DME or ADF, the paperwork involved for your unit to be IFR certified, the approaches you can do with the GPS as primary navigation, and the approaches where you can not use the GPS as primary navigation.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Fly SAFE!

I want a cub with an Omega system in it.

Once upon a time (Before deregulation and airline pilots made real money.) there was an airline captain who had his personal Super Cub outfitted with a Collins FD-108 and PN-101 and some sort of VLF/Omega nav system - the same state-of-the-art stuff that was in his big Boeing. I remember reading that they had to remove one of the seats to mount all of the boxes. I think this guy went on to management.
