Does an "IFR approved" GPS placard require database updates? by Doug
In regard to insurance, unless your insurance excludes it, you are covered. So read your policy, paying close attention to the exclusions. I can't imagine that a policy would exclude coverage for something like that. All mine requires is the airplane be in annual at the anniversary date of the...

Hey everyone, if you want to contribute to a great memorial, and get a tax deduction, please consider the Jimmy Franklin Heart Memorial. Anyone who has ever seen Jimmy perform at an airshow knows what type of entertainer and pilot he was (I think he should have been an astronaut). So if you've...

Our local airport manager (61B, Boulder City, NV) is keen to "rationalize" the various hangar leases that have sprung up over the years. The existing agreements are, I'll agree with him, quite a mess -- some permit "commercial" hangar use, most have a different term, and at least one prevents the...

NC Engine Out Landing? by John A. Weeks III
I took a long road trip over the weekend. At one point, I was driving north on US-52 just turning onto I-74 near Mt Airy in north-central North Carolina. As I made the turn, a very low flying airplane passed over the freeway. It had one engine stopped and the prop feathered. I think it was a...

Decalin instead of TCP? by Bob Fry
With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy. However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...
