Dang It! I involuntarily gave away my trusty Radio Shack scanner a while back. I need another one but before I go down to my local Radio Shack store, I thought maybe I'd solicit suggestions and comments regarding a different brand/model. I want a scanner that, in addition to aviation VHF, will...

Over 50 people dropped by Jay and Mary's campsite in the North 40 at OSH for the annual rec.aviation party Wednesday evening. I'll leave the full report & pictures for Jay to make upon his return, but I just wanted to say the turn out was great. The party started early with a few people dropping...

I am currently IFR and have been giving some consideration into going after the commercial rating. I have been studying the requirements and wanted to post some questions to the group... Please bear in mind that I don't typically cut corners when it comes to safety, but am always looking to save...

I learned today that the TSA has a rule that prohibits a passenger from purchasing a new ticket on a flight departing in less than two hours if that passenger has no luggage... even if the airline of a connecting flight has lost your luggage.

PIREP CAF Museum, Midland, TX It's a long ways from the population centers, but it's hardly off the beaten track: the track is being beaten to pieces by big rigs. Passing the time by keeping statistics for some miles, I found about 75% of the traffic to be semi trailers, 25% pickups and SUV's...

Maybe my math is rusty but it seems that the ETEs for the 130kt displays for the 396 on the back cover are wrong. The 150kt displays seem correct.

CFI New to the Baltimore area. Would like to find other folks flying in the area that might want to share occasional expenses.

ISTR there's only one company that still makes TEL (I think it's in the UK?) When they decide the cost isn't worth it, what then?

Airmens' Freedoms Threatened by Harsh Congressional Proposals As many predicted, the knee jerk congressional response to recent anti GA news media stories threatens airmens' freedoms. Outrageously unjust in their ill conceived penalty proposals, new legislative bills reflect the current...

Well after 150hrs and preparing to start my Insrument, Commerical, & CFI I figured it is time for my first VFR cross country that requires an actual fuel stop. Flight will take place the last weekend in August (assuming weather cooperates) My dad lives in Redmond, OR, so I thought, what a better...

The latest on this is that this student has been told they must wait two years, attend AA or other counselling, have liver function regularly tested and regularly be tested for any use of drugs or alcohol. That sounds unreasonable to me. I understand that they're going to appeal. moo

I Want to Become An Airline pilot. but i cant figure out what the requirements are. Do i need a college degree? do i have to come from the military? how much is the pay? I am completely ignorant when it comes to this. i cant seem to find a site.

I'm contemplating a flight from the Philly area to Cape Cod. My biggest concern is the huge Class B area that encompasses Newark and the New York Airports. I often fly around the Philly Bravo with little in the way of route disruption. It will, however be a long way around this airspace. My...

Hi all, I am just about to start my private pilot training. In fact, I have about $2000 on account and went in today to sign up for everything. Luckily, before signing all the papers, I stumbled on the FAA's position that Zyban automatically disqualifies you from obtaining a medical certificate....

We did a roundtrip this weekend from Durham NC to Saratoga Springs NY and back. Went IFR on the way up and VFR on the way back. Conditions on the way up were primarily VFR with convective storms. Even though I filed a route to avoid the DC ADIZ, I was routed through it in order to miss the...
