I just added a wireless networking card to my laptop. I am now spoiled! The airport I fly out of (KOSU/Don Scott Field, Columbus OH) provides free wireless internet access in the terminal and restaurant. It is nice to relax and eat breakfast, pull up all the pertinent weather, discuss it with the...

There is nothing in the FAR's that says an instructional flight or flight instruction must begin and or end on the ground. If you are legal to operate as PIC and current to carry passengers, your CFII can obviously just be a passenger. At some time he can also pull out the foggles and say "here,...

I live in the US and am currently training for a career in aviation. In about one year from now I'll have my CFII with a multi-engine rating. Ever since I was little I always wanted to live in another part of the world when I got older. Great Britian is one of those places that has always intrigued...

Boy they kept this quiet. I'm sure they will have them at Airventure. Since I can't go those of you that do let's here about it. http://www.sportys.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&did=19&product_id=9590&trackingId=529#desc Garmin GPSMAP 396 All the great features of the 296, PLUS XM datalink weather! The...

I regret to say Bobby Younkin flying his biplane Samson and Jimmy Franklin in his jet-powered WACO were killed in a mid-air at an airshow at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Here's further...

Several posters have stated that the owner/operator of the new VLJ's will not have the "necessary" skills to fly in the current environment. Several numbers have been thrown out, but no one has said what the minimum annual flight hours are to be accepted as proficient by the detractors. How much...

Anyone have any info? My local news only showed wreckage in the water.

So, how far over redline is it "ok" to operate an aircraft, and how arbitrary is that red line (both on the tach and the airspeed indicator) and how is it determined? Jose -- Nothing takes longer than a shortcut. for Email, make the obvious change in the address.

Hello All, I guess I'll get out the boards and spend the day battening down the hatches while the sun still shines. The plane probably needs to be moved somewhere out of the line of fire also. We're doing the hurricane dance down here along the Redneck Riviera. Hate to send it to you Texas, but...

My kids, ages 11 and 14, have flown with us almost since birth. They are, quite frankly, bored with the whole thing, much to my dismay. Oh sure, my son gets into it when he's allowed to fly right seat, but with two pilots in the family that is a rare occasion indeed. And my daughter is becoming...

Now that I am an aircraft owner I wanted to do some training in my aircraft before I take it up into IMC. I have been doing the typical VFR types of drills on my own, stalls, slow flight TO/landings, I even shot some approaches in VFR but not under the hood to make sure all the gizmos worked. Now I...

Hi all, I was very impressed by the article on the Eclipse 500 in the latest AOPA magazine. After so much skepticism, criticism, and so forth, it appears that the promised aircraft is about to be delivered. I was particularly impressed by the description of the development process, and by...

The recent spate of private pilots violating restricted airspace over Washington raises the thought that some lawmaker is going to decide that general aviation is a threat to national security. It's only a matter of time. Just something else for our lobbyists to be prepared for. AJ Harris

As I watched some amateur fireworks displays this weekend, I thought about what they would look like from the air. Before I fly in the vicinity of a fireworks display, however, it would be nice to know how high those flaming projectiles go.
