A new record! by
Viperdoc[_5_]
I count around six posts in a row about aviation, with almost all of the
responses actually related to the topic.
Common factor- no Anthony Atkielski. When asked a logical question, Bertie
gives reasonable and factual answers based upon knowledge and experience.
This was never the case with MX,...

Please ignore Mx by
Morgans[_4_]
Please, everyone, if you don't know the history of this group, let me
tell you... Don't ever respond to MX. He was the primary reason this
formerly vital and
active group (around 200 posts per day) has been all but abandoned. He is
death to any group he touches.

faith in the fuel delivery infrastructure by
Chris Hoffmann
I'll probably need an airport tour to answer this to my satisfaction, but I
thought it merited a discussion here anyway.
It seems pretty standard that, after an airplane is refueled, you wait 10-15
minutes and resample the fuel to check for contaminants (water). I recently
witnessed a situation...

Accidents happen... by
Manuel
Unfortunately accidents do happen, but it was the first time I had
somewhat to do with it. The airplane I usually fly with, a Piper Arrow
from the local flight school and FBO, crashed on landing during a
cross-country flight to Florence (Italy). The plane suddenly banked to
the left 10 feet over...

C-172 Fuel by
[email protected]
I fly a 172 F.
The fuel selector says to select single tank operation at or above 5000
feet.
If you leave the selector in the "both" position, under 5000 for any
prolonged period of time (couple of hours) the right tank appears to go
down more quickly than the left. This is confirmed at...

Oshkosh in Winter... by
Jay Honeck
Several unheard of things occurred Wednesday. We had:
- 2 days off from the hotel
- both kids off school
- widespread VFR weather forecast to last 2 days -- in December
When strange things like this happen, you don't question them, and you don't
ever pass them by. No sir, you seize upon them...

What are cowl flaps? by
Mxsmanic
What are cowl flaps for, and how are they used? The name implies that
they are some sort of aerodynamic control surface, but they don't
appear to have any aerodynamic effects. In simulation, they are doors
on the bottom of the engine nacelles that open for some unclear
purpose (I see what looks...

When do controls return to neutral? by
Mxsmanic
In a typical small GA aircraft, do the controls have a natural
tendency to return exactly to their neutral positions when you aren't
holding them and when you are on the ground? Do they have a tendency
to return to exactly neutral in flight if you release them in level
flight?
The reason I ask is...

Dumb GPS Question by

Security at a class D tower by

I toured the new state of the art tower at Addison airport last week and

The entire complex and parking lot was surrounded by a dense wrought iron

intercom opened the...
