Check this out and let me know if you have any idea why this flight path is
so strange.

Here is a normal looking flight path

I hope the FAA has a very fat wallet
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The lone air traffic controller on duty the
morning Comair Flight 5191 crashed cleared the jet for
takeoff, then turned his back to do some "administrative

The other day I was doing a VFR practice approach into Tracy, CA when
the controller told me "reporting canceling IFR this freq, or on ground
via land line...". I told him "uh, ok canceling IFR, I didn't believe I
was IFR" (because I hadn't asked for or received an IFR clearance).

I see that CQX has a clearance delivery frequency, so IFR ops there
apparently don't require a phone call to FSS (excluding the filing, of
course).
But when IFR out of KCDW, I can expect release delays because CDW

IF? the diaper heads were successful in bringing down 10
transatlantic flights from the UK to America, what would
have been the impact to the airline industry?

Hi Group,
I am currently attending a flying school Part 61. Since I've been
playing Flight Sim for about 15 years, on my first lesson I was able to
land the airplane right away. Thanks to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

While discussing reimbursement of hotel bills from a major airline, I
was told that my flight(s) were cancelled BY ATC.
Now, I know that ATC can delay IFR clearances/takeoffs based on
weather, traffic volume, landing slots at the destination, and

Today I finally took the plunge and ordered the distance study course
towards the ATPL frozen theory!
I have been wanting this for years, but it's quite a costly thing to start,
so it's taken a while!

I had a question today that I've never considered, and need the
experience of the group.
Are there airports with ILS approaches such that if the Glide Slope
component failed or went OTS, the entire approach would be un-executable

I've just had a big increase in copper; wonder where copper comes

Am I the only one that thinks that Jeppesen renewal notices are well
past the phrase "sleazy" in their wordiing?
I had a Skybound subscription that I did not renew when the
subscription period ran out.  Now I am getting these renewal notices

We have a vacation planned in September to Ocracoke Island.  We'll be
departing from Spartanburg, SC (SPA).
I have flown to Ocracoke once before but that was VFR from the north.
Any idea what routing to expect when IFR from the west?

A recent flight planning software package I am trying creates a single
flight plan - say from DSM to Jeffco.  Even tho there is a fuel stop in
KLBF, about midway.   This is what it wants to file with DUATS.
My question is:  I have always thought it was necessary to file two
