sorry for the naive question, but what is all this fuss about Mxsmanic? may be am I missing something obvious, I must confess that I haven't read all his posts, but I am a bit surprised by the rather hostile reactions that he received; I mean, ok, he doesn't fly 'for real', and sometimes...

AOPA warns that someone is trying the scam of spamming pilots saying that MBNA needs for them to verify their account info. These mails are not from MBNA. Do not click on the link. This, by the way, is true of every similar scam. No legitimate company will send you mail asking for account info by...

This story just gets more and more bizarre... based on the evidence I've seen reported so far, it certainly sounds to me like the Brazilian air traffic control system itself is solely to blame for this accident. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/12/08/brazil.pilots.ap/index.html -- Guy

I was scheduled to fly today; my CFI said I need some work on landings before he'd sign me off. I checked ADDS before I left the house, and the TAF said there should have a 14 knot crosswind component, which would be OK. In Oklahoma if you can't do crosswind T/O's, you can't fly. When I got the...

I decided to fly from my home north of Indianapolis Indiana to visit family in Lansing Michigan. My trip up was a beautiful, uneventful hour and a half flight. I was to stay until Friday morning and then return. The weather on Friday made it impossible to return because of icing issues. No...

I have been toying around with the idea of buying a Colt or a Tri-Pacer (having just foolishly sold my Ercoupe) and ran across an ad for a Colt with a child seat STC. I did a google search, a deja/google group search (on rec.aviation) and looked at the Short wing Piper web site and found nothing...

Does anyone use an oxygen concentrator to supply pilot and passengers in a light plane flying over 14000 feet? A quick google did not turn up anything but home units and a recent ruling that they can be used on commercial airlines, but I did not find anything about their use on private...

The news lately has mentioned that the FCC is meeting to discuss relaxing the ban on using cell phones in airplanes. Most of the news coverage focuses on the implications for airline passengers. They said that the FAA would also have to change rules before airline passengers could use cell...

It's easy enough to establish measurement stations on the surface to measure wind, temperature, visibility, etc., but what is the normal way for meteorologists to measure these things aloft? Do they depend on PIREPs, or expendable/recoverable probes and balloons, or satellites, or what?

When I used to fly Cessna 152's and 172's, I'd always just say "Cessna 12345...". Now that I fly Piper Warriors, I began using "Piper 12345...", but then I realized no one else says just "Piper", they say "Seneca 12345", or "Twin Comanche 12345...", so I began using the callsign "Warrior 12345..."...
