How many of you learned to fly from relatives? by
lardsoup
Go for it! I've had a few different instructors, but the two best ones were
both taught to fly by their Dads. So there must be some special about it.

Sporty's Catalog by
Jeremy Lew
I don't think they've ever sold Lightspeeds. I saw one catalog (I think
AvShop) recently which had the entire line of Lightspeeds with the exception
of the QFR Cross Country (low-priced ANR). Interestingly, they featured a
"house brand" headset which looked very much like a rebranded version...

Grant Gilron
Hi,
Does anyone out there fly and/or own an old Cessna 172, call sign:
C-GUZE, colour: white with blue stripes? It was owned and flown by my
Father and was based at the Ottawa Flying Club in Ontario, Canada

I am interested if...

Great circle formulae, True cource and actual heading by
Sims
Hi,
I am trying to write a formula to compute flight headings.
If i use 2 lat/lon i can get a "true course" but due to magnetic variations
the true course is not really all that useful, (knowing that my true course
is 118deg will not tell me that i should fly 93 deg).
What i mean is if i go from...

Great circle formulae, True course and actual heading by
Ed Williams
I am just surprised that they vary so much depending what model is been
used.
Really? Mostly, I think they are within a degree.
What model is the best? And also it seems that by the poles the calculation
are somewhat wrong, is it just my imagination?

One more question regarding great circle and two intersecting course. by
Sims
Hi,
Thanks to all the replies to my earlier post i managed to approximate a
solution to my problem.
But it also raised another question.
If i have 2 'line' given by lat/lon, something like A(lat1, lon1, lat2,
lon2) and B(lat1, lon1, lat2, lon2) how can i calculate the (lat, lon) where
both lines...

Lightspeed does it again by

I followed the posts about Lightspeed selling pretty good equipment, and
most importantly, standing behind their products when they have problems. I
was particularly impressed with Jay Honeck's reports (hi Jay) about his

GPS Altitude with WAAS by

I posted earlier about seeing differences of up to 500' between the
altitude shown on my Garmin GPS 196 (even while receiving WAAS) and my

altimeter. Dan Luke suggested the cause might be non-standard
temperatures. After some more...
