Also, does this minium apply to the fee based options.  Thanks, skyjim91 rkaplan Administrator Joined:  Sun Jan 22nd, 2006 Location:  Uniontown, Pennsylvania USA Posts:  393 Status:  Offline  Posted: Fri Jun 22nd, 2007 01:21 am Quote Reply welshj wrote: Would appreciate information concerning the 5000AGL MINIUM reception height for the FIS free service.

I think this is a significant operational limitation, as it is very helpful to monitor weather on the ground before departure as well as on an approach.  I would recommend an XM-radio satellite-based solution instead - those have no altitude limitations.

I have not been able to fly an approach coupled.  Thanks,  Jim rkaplan Administrator Joined:  Sun Jan 22nd, 2006 Location:  Uniontown, Pennsylvania USA Posts:  393 Status:  Offline  Posted: Fri Jul 6th, 2007 09:30 pm Quote Reply Thanks for the inquiry.
