Teterboro Info Request by mtmueller
I flew in there once a couple years ago (before 9/11), and recall it used to be quite easy. Has anything changed? I recall hearing something about new fees being charged to GA. I can't find any information from the Port Authority or the FBOs regarding what those fees are, and how they are...

Questions about Privatizing ATC by Jay Honeck
Okay, so the Bush Administration says it wants to privatize ATC services, apparently saving the taxpayers millions (billions?) of dollars. The controllers say "No way!", claiming that putting ATC into the hands of private businesses will jeopardize air safety, etc. G.A. pilots say "No way!"...

Approach Questions by Cub Driver
I spent an afternoon waiting for a delayed plane at Logan in Boston, and marveling at the very different landing techniques used by pilots of similar or identical jetliners. Later I remarked on this to an American Airlines pilot/neighbor. He said: "Hey, we get bored too!" all the best -- Dan...

"Enhanced Security" at various airports.... by Dr. Anthony J. Lomenzo
Recently I've had to make various trips down south due to my father's health. As he's 88 even a simple cold can and often does turn into pneumonia, the bane of senior aged folks. And rather quickly. Anyway, in my area, so-termed "enhanced security" is in effect. I mention this because various of...

airliner parachutes and guns in the cockpit by Jay Honeck
Why don't airliners have parachutes for every passenger? Wouldn't the passengers of the DC-10 that crashed in Sioux City, IA have survived if they had been able to jump? Hee hee! Can't you just picture the passenger "bail-out!" light malfunctioning in flight? :) --

I know I will probably get alot of 'it depends' in response to this question, but I guess I'm curious when a flight school charges a student $25/hr for flight instruction, what chunk of that actually goes to the CFI? And realistically your average CFI is not flying all the time. Figure in weather...

Best deal on renter's insurance? by Evan Hunt
