I suppose my problem is that, as a pilot, the only thing I see when I look up info on maneuvering speed is something along the lines of " the maximum speed at which full control travel will not cause damage to the structure". I have never seen any fine print or exceptions, nor do I see that it is...

I have put together a free online flight planner which GA pilots migh find useful: 'fly.dsc.net' (http://fly.dsc.net). It's somewhat unusual in that it instead of using a database of onl aviation waypoints you can plan using any place as a waypoint. Thi means it is good if you want to fly to a...

I am a private pilot with 450hrs. Currently I own a grumman tiger and have been looking to move into something newer. I have been looking at the diamond c1 eclipse (2001-2002). Today I spoke to an A&P who informed me of a strange phenomenon. One of the katana c1's at the flight school had shed 2...

I have built a (free) online flight planner. It is different from many others in that it is purely text based and has a very large database of both aviation and non-aviation waypoints. It was built from a UK pilot's perspective, but as it has a comprehensive worldwide database I'd be interested...

This from http://www.avweb.com/, my favorite source of aviation news: Brain In A Bowl Flies Simulator Someone once said he could teach a monkey to fly but researchers at the University of Florida have taken it a quantum leap further.

I just thought I'd bring it to the group's attention that "Pam.Scott", of Aviation Institute (but also, apparently, "UNO Library") has made some *very* good points. Perhaps everyone else should calm down and pay attention: http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/pdf90/301045_web.pdf -- David...

My Garmin 296 causes a hiss in the Vertex handheld sufficient to make the radio unusable when they are mounted close. Where does the interference come from? If I use the remote antenna on the Garmin, will that suffice, or do I have to separate the two boxes? all the best -- Dan Ford email:...

I hesitate to post this link because one zebra met an awful end, but no human was hurt in this nasty runway incursion. Warning: the zebra is in terrible shape, and the pics are pretty graphic. http://www.save-the-elephants.org/Photo%20Gallery/AOT%20Crash/Page.html I guess the lesson is, be aware...

I have a Nokia 8260 on an AT&T plan. That phone does AMPS 800 (analog) and TDMA 800/1900. It's got coverage almost everywhere, which is why I have not upgraded it for almost 4 years. The only airport I've ever flown to where I didn't have coverage was Trinity Center, CA (O86) which is in a bowl...

Hi All, I'm setting down some long range plans for attending the balloon gig in Albuquerque in 2005. Date are, I think, September 30 through October 9. I hope to fly over, weather permitting, and spend a few days gawking at the event. Questions: With only four days to spare at the event, which...

It was a weird day yesterday (besides the moon turning red from a lunar eclipse about the same time the Red Sox win the World Series--I'm Yankee fan BTW). * I open up AOPA Pilot on the train commute to see Jay and Mary Honeck's huge picture in an article * I'm flipping through the Discovery...

Mt. Saint Helens erupted again today; fairly large eruption. It has been spilling magma onto the surface at the rate of 10 cubic yards per second for over a week (that is one dump truck of new mountain per second). I was up with a multi-engine student in his Cessna 337P and took this picture which...
