Should pilots begin working to identify and expose reverse racism against white heterosexual men in the avation workplace disguised under the veil of diversity?

Have you ever wondered why they sometimes call the F-16 a "Lawndart" ? Well, the answer is in the video that we have just uploaded on our weekly aviation mishaps, accidents and crases webpage: www.dappa.nl/crash.htm. The pilot ejected safely (seen on video), and only some local worms suffered from...

I've been asked to help write some code to assist in flight planning by choosing routes. I have just enough Computer Science and IFR background to make me dangerous. I said that I'd donate my effort if it results in Free code the community can use. So we're making this a community...

Thanks to Dennis Megary at MyAirplane.com, I've added the vector (PDF) approach plates to my collection. http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA/approaches/ There's a lot that I plan to do with these, but for now I have a terribly simple kludge for finding them...

VOR frequency 108.6 on flip flop. On one of my KX 155 I tried to put in 108.6. It would not show as such. It was something like 109.0 then when I flipped it to the left is showed as 108.6. Strange and very confusing since I was setting up for the VOR approach. Avionics shop is closed for the...

Rail mounts for Cessna 172 to accommodate AvMap GPS. The specs state 13.5 inches on the rail. I would think this interferes with the seat when moved forward. Any comments? Hank

Flying back from Amsterdam to DFW on friday with KLM, I saw that we headed north for Denmark, then turning west, passed to the north of Iceland. Then crossing the southern half of Greenland and into Canada, we proceeded across the Hudson Bay, and passed West of ALL the Great Lakes, and then on...

So, Ron, wht did you mean by this post, other than what it clearly says? "Ron Natalie" wrote in message ... "Tarver Engineering" wrote in message ... No,...

A friend of mine just gave me a toll free number to obtain AWOS at any airport. Just call +1 (877) 269-2967, and key in the airport identifier when requested. It requires listening to a commercial, but it's a quick and easy way to get an AWOS report.

Hello a question again;-) Our PA34 with two Garmin GNS430 is certified for B-RNAV (RNP5) I can't find any information about the source signal. Does the GNS430 calculate RNAV information only from its GPS-signal or can it also get information from the VOR/DME? Does anybody know something about...

Hi folks, Getting back into that instrument training.... ...after a haitus of over a year. It's been something like three years since I started trying to get it. Was doing pretty good until: 1-punch: My airplane got a bit of airframe corrosion, requiring three months of layoff while repairs...

What do you use for extra and backup lighting in the cockpit for IFR flights at night? Some airplanes have pretty decent lighting built in. Others can have decent cockpit lighting and poor panel lighting. Others have shadows in poor locations, or areas of the panel/cockpit you'd really like to...

I would be interested in getting opinions about backup systems for a vacuum pump failure and/or AI failure. I have a 172P with a single vacuum pump system, standard instruments otherwise, and a Garmin 430. I am most concerned about having a good backup if I lose a vacuum pump or AI in IMC. I have...

There have been a number of threads in this and other forums about which approach charts to use, and about how the availability of free downloadable charts from NACO affects the decision. Some pilots purchase full US or regional subscriptions, others download and print just the charts they expect...

Flyers, I just want some of your thoughts on this. My plane partner and I went out last night to do some practice instrument approaches. He wore the hood and I was the right-seat safety pilot. ATC was not too busy and it was a nice VFR night. First, after we asked for a practice ILS 24 into...
