Over on the binary channel "alt.binaries.pictures.aviation" someone has posted a supposedly authentic picture of an experimental DC-10 jetliner dropping a prodigious (to say the least) amount of water on a ground target. It looks like they could have extinguished the recent Southern...

If I'm crusing along at 100 KIAS in a 172 in clear air and I roll left while maintaining neutral rudder, what will happen if I don't neutralize the ailerons? I'm picturing the plane rolling on to its back while losing altitude and either completing the roll (doubtful) or stalling into a dive...

Hi guys! I'm an italian young pilot and I'm looking for anyone that have some informations about the way to join in humanitarian flights without own plane and without Bible knowledge.Sorry for my terrible english... Thanks MC, Milan, Italy

Great letter to the editor on AvWeb concerning personal jets by George Davis, USAF (Ret): "We should remember that airline pilots are still the new kids on the block. I can remember the day when the Boeing 707 invaded my airspace for the first time. My F-86 and I -- until that point -- had been...

NAFI sent this alert to their members. Thought some of the rest of you might find it interesting. Instructional News FAA Proposes Flight-seeing Rule The FAA published on Oct. 22 a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that it claims will improve national air tour safety. Among other things, the

Just a quick question... During a crosswind landing, for instance a left crosswind, you'd lower the left, upwind wing to counter the right drift induced by the crosswind. You'd also use some right rudder to keep the nose straight and prevent it from "weathervaning". Is this "weathervaning...

Hi all, I'm a private pilot who works for a company (as a programmer, not a pilot, unfortunately) that is starting to think about getting our own light twin for both transport of people or our product, so I'm starting to look at different aircraft that might be suitable. (as well as finishing...

How many people do / teach doing a full before landing checklist when doing pattern work? I do with my students, but other cfi's I work with use a quick / abbreviated one for our Cessna 172/152 Hi BoDean I do, and I believe that CFI's should teach this. Here is why. Forget the 152/172 for...

I'm looking for a club prop I can use to break in/test an engine. I could use a regular prop I suppose, but the engine will be on a test stand and I'd rather have something with a reduced diameter for safety. The engine will be producing around 180 to 190 hp and I'd like to be able to run it up...

Howdy ya'll, Is it expected of a student pilot on his private pilot checkride to intercept a VOR radial and fly towards the station? Thanks, Alex

I was going to ask my CFI these questions but I figured these groups are so rich with information and opinions that I would start here. I am a 120 hr PP planning a VFR X/C from Bowman field Louisville, KY (KLOU) to Mattoon, IL (KMTO) this weekend. According to the new AOPA flight planner (very...

hi, i am a GA pilot in austria. we have been discussing fees, charges etc. where applicable in the USA. basic question: where does a local / municipal airport that is almost or even exclusively used by GA make money to keep the airport running? as you don't have landing fees, is it the fuel...

Windy as all get out today, the plane tied down on the apron took quite a beating. Saw the tail lift on a 170 and two 150's actually left the ground a few times. While scrambling around trying to keep them pointed into the wind and resecuring the wheel chocks, I noticed some pretty high...

My mother remembers when Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic. It wasn't too long after that when she last rode in a light aircraft. She regards a 19 passenger turbo-prop as "one of those little planes". Before today, I regarded the odds of her climbing into my Maule right up there with the chances of...
