Lots of VOR's are going to be decommissioned in the next few years...Are ILS's next on the chopping block?

We get a little spoiled in So Cal as most of our IFR flying involves preplanned TEC routing. Good article from a controller on what you file vs what you get.

Fine print strikes again...This pilot missed a procedural note and almost ended up a statistic.

Remember both VFR and IFR navigational charts along with the Chart Supplement and much more is available for download from the FAA in PDF format for your electronic tablet. However it is always good practice to keep a current paper chart with you! PAPER= SAFER! https://www.faa.gov/air_tra/flight_info//digital_products/

The Aviation branch of the National Weather Service has issued an updated guide on weather services available online to pilots. "A Pilot's Guide to Aviation Weather Services" can be found in PDF format in the link below.

Awesome article on the precursor to VOR's and NDB's..."NA" Airways.
