How about the Transavia Airtruck?

As reported by AvWeb - http://media.putfile.com/Mr-Discount-Airline-Pilot-Guy -------------------------------------------- DW

Nifty website to look up gas prices in addition to Airnav. http://www.100ll.com/

As a relative latecomer to the group, I'm behind the curve on what his basic argument is. It's something to do with the relative risks of GA flying isn't it? He claims that it's actually higher than is admitted or something like that? TIA.

But it's worth it. Chuck-Not-Yeager

Not particularly germane to this discussion, but KIYK is a non-tower airport. I was up doing bumps and rounds, AKA touch-n-goes yesterday, and was dutifully calling out my various positions as any good airman in the pattern should do. Now, I was calling the runway as 02, like in "....33Xray,...

Okay, so I finally ponied up and purchased a ANR headset. After much hemming and hawing over the Lightspeed 20-3G and the Flightcom Denali, I went with the Denali, primarily because they have a 30 day money back guarantee, and because everyone seems to get the Lightspeeds and I wanted to be...

I remember this accident being discussed here a while back and if I'm really late to the party on this (the probable cause, that is) sorry... Just noticed this paragraph in a recent AvFlash from AvWeb: -------------- Pilot William Buchmann and skydiver Albert Wing were known to indulge...

I'm looking to get another passenger headset or upgrade from mine and using my DC 10-60's for passengers. The first one will be the cheapest and easiest as there are plenty of reviews out there. I currently have DC 10-60's for flying SEL a/c. I'm thinking of either getting a set of Bose (no need...

What exactly do they mean by this? Has anyone ever been denied their ATP because they weren't in "good moral character"? What do they use as a metric?

Was reading an article in an Australian mag about an LED based AoA indicator in a homebuilt. The author stated that in many ways it "replaced" the AI for him. Anyone have experience with them?

Does anyone know how to perform a master reset on the Garmin 196?

In another thread ("Radio Procedure - Runway ID," which is now pretty much a stale thread), some of us debated whether the AIM is regulatory. I indicated that an article appearing in IFR magazine in the early 90s that was authored by an attorney indicated that the AIM has...

hi, Was wondering if someone could help me with calculating the derated take-off thrust, if there is a change to the QNH for a given actual takeoff weight. I know that the thrust setting depends on temp so if you have a Actual TOW less than the RTOW it is possible replace the OAT reading to...

Hey Folks... Had an experience yesterday that I have never had. Took off in a 172 for a local flight here in the Puget Sound area. Field elevation 500 ft. I climbed to 4000 ft, and flew for about 15 minutes before climbing to 8000 ft to get a great view of Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams, and Mt....

I recently flew a two week crosscountry from Montana to the Carolinas and return, with numerous stops and diversions along the way. I bought the Keefe East/West VFR sectional atlases for the trip to compare them against the single sectional method that I had used before. Although the cost for my...

Yesterday I was flying back from a weekend camping trip, and came up behind my friend in his AA5. I started getting up close, and was feeling the effect of the vortex off his right wingtip. I reached the point that I had my ailerons deflected almost 50-60% to the right just to stay level, when I...
