Errors accessing FAA's Pilotweb by
Mxsmanic
Is anyone else getting SSL security errors when trying to access the FAA Web
site's Pilotweb pages? I tried to look up TFRs today and got an error message
saying the certificate issuer was unknown. One URL that does this is:

Airliner crashes into Hudson River after LGA departure by
Kingfish
Holy smokes! CNN is reporting an airliner went down in the Hudson
after departing LaGuardia. I heard something about birdstrikes, but
can't imagine a double engine failure due to that(?) They sure picked
a cold day to go swimming... Hope everybody is ok...

Too Old? by
Gezellig
Recently a 72 yo went blind in flight (stroke?) and safely landed in the
drink in FL. Several comments were that age should be considered in
keeping your PPL. I can see this makes sense /but/ it would prolly be
illegal.
Too old? If so, at what age do you place the cutoff?

Cirrus Lands via Parachute in Nantucket by
Owen Rogers[_2_]
Looks like another save for BRS and Cirrus.
Apparently a Cirrus was attempting to land ACK VFR last night when they
ran into weather (fog and low visibility after sunset on the island are
common in the summer). They pulled the Ballistic Recovery System
parachute about 5 miles northeast of...

How do you find the limits of areas on a chart? by
Mxsmanic
I see tons of restricted areas, MOAs, Class B, C, D, E airspace, and
the like on charts, but no clear indication of how to locate the
boundaries of these areas other than by pure guesstimate based on
looking at the chart. On rare occasions I see a radial noted as the
boundary of an area, or a...

Why airplanes fly by

Fixed-wing aircraft fly because their wings generate lift as they move forward

About those anti-aviatoin newsgroups by
C J Campbell
We should be cautious about posting anything on these news groups. There is
no way of convincing the mentally ill that airplanes are not a threat to
them, so arguing with them is futile. At worst, somebody in these groups
could find out about the rec.aviation news groups. This is a serious...

So what happens when 100LL is gone anyway? by
[email protected]
ISTR there's only one company that still makes TEL (I think it's in the
UK?) When they decide the cost isn't worth it, what then? Sure, the
lower HP Lyc's and Cont's can probably run mogas without issue, but the
higher HP turbo'd engines won't be so happy without lead. The FADEC mod

I had an airplane that I had to sacrifice for graduate school 4 years
ago. Now finish and looking to get back in the game, I find local
avgas prices in my area range from over $6 to over $7!!! (Up from

Comair Pilot Error by
Andrew Sarangan
I am getting tired of comments like "controller should have warned the
pilots", or "taxiway was confusing", or "runway lights were off" etc..
One could not find a better example of a pure and simple pilot error.
The runway was clear, the weather was VFR, and the airplane was working
fine. It is...

Once again, I'm not a real pilot.
Yesterday my daughter was confronted at school by
some (6th grade) classmates, they said her father was

To give you a little back history, my daughter is so
proud of her father that she's always telling anyone
she meets that her father is a...
