I am tired - just landed from a 12 hour, 20 minute flight from LAX to Taiwan. I got a good laugh though today when our PDC was INOP, and the F/O had to call to get the clearance. It was for sure the longest clearance I've ever heard! Here it...

To Whom It May Concern: The FAA has told us that the lone controller at Lexington tower turned his back on Comair 191 and was busy with "administrative duties, traffic count" after he cleared Comair191 for takeoff while it was on the wrong runway. Initially, he admitted seeing Comair on the...

Your tax dollars at work HARTSFIELD ORDEAL Our sympathies go out to anyone caught in the incredible mess at Hartsfield International Airport on Saturday. I'm told that literally thousands missed flights because there weren't enough TSA screeners on duty to get the job done. Here is just one of...

Sound Familiar? Let's see! What has the flying public found out so far about the Kentucky tragedy? We know FAA violated their own orders for minimal ATCT staffing at this location. We know the Veteran controller was being worked like a dog as many "Veteran and experienced" controllers and...

The FAA is marching toward sole dependence on GPS. The FAA engineers and controllers are screaming from the mountaintops PLEASE do not single thread North American airspace navigation on satellite only. Yes GPS is awesome. Yes GPS has and will change our lives. But the signal is small and...

*Ah, and the big one comes even closer. When you run off experienced people and keep idiot managers this is what happens. As the FAA concentrates on feel good politics and women and minorities and homosexuals and GLOBE meetings and TWO conferences and Gay Pride celebrations and lowering standards...

I guess the Diversity workforce in the FAA is working great huh?? I believe the first video mentions the word "Incompetency" The same word I was chastised for using a few years ago by FAA Management Maybe I was just a little ahead of my time perhaps?

http://www.gpsworld.com/defense/news/congressional-budget-office-issues-report-gps-defense-12261 Sad, sad possibility, the congressional budget office is proposing killing GPS IIIB/C, arguing the new features aren't essential for military purposes.

THE BIGGEST SECRET 9/11, 7/7 and ("Operation Iraqi Freedom"? ) I want you all to think about: We all know that 9 of the 19 Alleged hijckers are alive "Tracking the 19 Hijackers What are they up to now? At least 9 of them survived 9/11" Look at it: welfarestate(dot)com/911/ Yes even Several...

A few days after the 9/11 attacks, Urban Moving System's Israeli owner, Dominick Suter, dropped his business and fled the country. He was in a hurry to flee America that some of Urban Moving System's customers were left with their furniture stuck in storage facilities. The five Israeli army...

The BIGGER problem in the FAA exposed Congress and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association need to keep prodding the FAA to make good on its plan to train and hire enough competent controllers to meet the age-wave of retirements coming at it. About 70 percent of the current workforce...

THE AUCTION HANGAR GOES LIVE Dear Aviation Enthusiast The Auction Hangar went live yesterday, 9 months of hard work has, we think, produced a marvel of an auction site, there is nothing else out there that comes close to the advanced features and design of The Auction Hangar and now all it takes...

Needed to get night current for an IFR flight next week. Since I have not flown at night for quite some time, figure to give me an adjustment period as day transitions to night. Video includes slow flight while waiting for the sun to set, watching the sunset from 3000 feet and two landings at...

We had a local safety counsellor give us a seminar on GPS and he said something that seems pretty ridiculous. I understand that when you're using GPS, if you file an alternate, it has to have non-GPS approaches in case GPS isn't working in the area or your own GPS unit is T/U. And he wasn't...
