The latest issue of AOPA Pilot contains an article about vortex generators. The article places high emphasis on how they can improve controllability during low airspeed single engine operations in twin engine airplanes. The subtitle of the article, as it relates to twins, mentions "Blueline Ops...

In another thread, I have just read that there might be controlled airports without having class D airspace, and pilots are supposed to know this and know to contact the tower and stay of their non-class D airspace if they are not in contact with the tower. Can anyone confirm this? Danny Deger

When flying a plane that doesn't have a lot of climbing power, is it quicker to get to your destination if you climb at a slower rate, but faster speed? Or is it quicker if you climb faster to your altitude? For example, say I took off at sea level and want to cruise at 6,500. I don't need to be...

Perhaps this news will cause responsible municipalities to change their plans to close there airports: WILL AIR TAXIS FLY WITH JOE PUBLIC? (http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/bizav/866-full.html#195198) SATSair and Linear Air believe that they have proven the air-taxi ...

I heard something the other day, probably not all that uncommon, but that I haven't heard before. I just got a new ICOM handheld for ultralight flying, and while working on the plane in my front yard I listened to the radio in scan mode. Picked up an aircraft saying they were 45 minutes from...

I believe this chain of lawsuits began when Mrs. Lidle found out that her husband's group policy provided for by the Major League Baseball Players Assosiaction (MLBPA) would not be paying out any money to her, as the accidental death clause wording allegedly specifically excludes coverage if the...

Back before we called it class D, we called the area around a controlled airport an Airport Traffic Area. It extended for 5 NM (SM?) and up to 3,000 AGL from the tower. Just to confuse matters, 99.9% of controlled air ports had a region around them that controlled airspace went to the ground. ...

Hey, all. I'm getting ready for my commercial checkride. I've read the Jeppeson PTS et al but I'd really like to hear what kinds of things people have experienced in the oral and practical sections recently; mainly just to see if I could hit whatever is pitched at me. Obviously I'm expecting...

I had two recent situations where other pilots thought they'd be cool by being condescending jackasses over the radio, which effected my ability to teach my student. The first time was when I was at a local uncontrolled field with one of my students to introduce solf-field takeoffs and landings....

So while IFR on the way back to NY from VA, I was rerouted about five times which was fine with me (the first four were all shortcuts). What was interesting was the last "reroute." I was just south of the Cedar Lake VOR (VCN) on V16 with a clearance from there V16 JFK Direct FRG. Approach calls...

So a question out to the group: which headsets have the best microphones? And the worst? Although I can't pinpoint the issue, I feel like my Lightspeed Twenty 3G catches too much background noise and I don't remember my other ones sounding the same. Marco
