Hello, I'm about to buy a bike and am interested in a "foldable" bike. I do not own a plane, just use a rental ( Cessna 172 SP ). Has anyone thought about getting one of these to fit on the backseat of 172 ? The one I found here : http://www.digitalgiftstore.com/th-367-r.html is about 45 pounds...

No. Straight lines on Lambert Conformal maps are not great circles. It's my understanding that the Lambert Conformal is better than any other flat surface at representing the curved surface of the earth in such a way that a straight line on the chart comes very close to being a Great...

Ok,this is probably an obvious question to many of you, but I'll ask anyway. I usually fly in C172s and C182s with the Lycoming oil cooled engines that many of you are probably familiar with. I still see planes with the large radial engines (for instance, like what you would see on a Dehavilland...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/6294778.stm Interesting that a "Go Around" is considered here as an "unfamiliar manoeuvre" - and that the pilot was "put in a situation beyond his experience" - okay he only had 15 hours of flying time and it was only his second solo, but I was doing...

I've just received a "past due" invoice for the purchase of 250 gallons of Jet A from an FBO a thousand miles away on 20 May. The invoice includes my name and address and the N-number of my airplane. The trouble is: I'm not a jet pilot; haven't been to that city in thirty years; the airplane with...

Does anybody know the person who owns the footage of the Thunderbird crash footage from 2003?

I notice that the Citation CJ1s have Collins Pro Line and the Citation Mustangs have Garmin 1000s. Does the Pro Line have any significant advantages over the Garmin 1000? Which might be easier for the single pilot to learn? -Just Curious -Charles Talleyrand

At sea level, the change in atmospheric pressure with altitude is close to 1"Hg/1000'. Logically, this would mean that the air pressure would drop to zero somewhere not much above 30000'. It doesn't, because as the density drops the variation with altitude also changes. Which brings to mind the...

I'm taking flight lessons and was hoping to get my private pilot certificate not too far down the line. Today I went in for my medical and was told by the examiner I have a couple problems. Although I've been asymptomatic for some time I'm on a medication that is not allowed by the FAA. When I...

This weekend the Cessna Pilots Ass'n put on one of their 2-day Systems & Procedures classes at Sporty's in Batavia Ohio. This one was for 182S, 182T and T182S/T owners. About 20 owners attended, and it was well worth the trip and cost. Anyhow, one of the best tips I picked up from John Frank...

It is my understanding (always subject to correction) that as a safety pilot you may log PIC time because you are indeed a required crew member for the operation. However, to log PIC time you also must be qualified to act as PIC of that particular aircraft. -- Jim Burns...

Simple question, when refuelling should brakes be on or off (for a light plane)? I've been told both answers with logical reasons for both. What should I do??? Cheers

I was shopping at a Wal-Mart on December 17, 2004, when I noticed outside a helicopter flying just over the tops of the parked vehicles in front of the store. It was flying towards me, about 20 feet above the ground and climbing. I got a photograph of it when it was about 50 to 70 feet in the air....

I was about to shoot the approach into MYF when they closed the field this morning. When I did get to land there was a very broken C-182 on the side of Runway 23. Any word on what happened? Paul
