Hi, I noted something very strange while I was "playing" with my flight computer. e.g. W/V: 340/60 TAS: 330 kts True Course: 088° I found a GS of 344 kts (so the TW-component is 14 kts (makes sense up

Hi, Could anyone tell me how the final reserve for jets is calculated? I know it's the fuel to fly for 30 minutes at 1500ft AAL in ISA conditions at holding speed... But what weight do you use? Do you assume that contignency fuel is burnt (so gross weight = TOW - TRIP fuel - ALTN fuel) when...

I lost my medical so I might as well sell this stuff. Condition - virtually new, used about three times. Complete with all cables, manuals, warranty card, etc. DRE-201 Personal Intercom PA50 Push to Talk Switch The DRE-201 is rated the best portable intercom system by several reviewers.

Does anyone know of nice, residential airparks in good soaring areas that would be accommodating of gliders? Western US, Northeast US, whatever.....I need to come back to the US and find a soarable place to live, without having to commute to an airfield.

Hi all, does anyone know of places to rent a DA-40 from in the Phoenix area? Could be an SR20, too. Arizona Flightworks at SDL used to have one, but it is moving to another location. Thanks! -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

Just wondering... some people here (Holland) claim it does and that students needs to get fingerprinted before receiving lessons from an FAA CFII. Of course it does - why shouldn't it? But: Not all kinds of flight training require any such action. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

If you could go to the link and subscribe, that would be awesome. :) If you guys have any questions let me know. One of my Videos:...

Early Airbus A-3X series: 'Shear' effect on aft-most rows On the first two Airbus widebody entrants(the 300 & 310), I distinctly noticed that the rear-most 10-12 passenger windows actually shear up, as do the ends of a classic ocean liner, along with the rows corresponding to that end of the...

757-767-777 DNA: What's in common, what's different? I know all three share the same cockpit(section ahead of '41'). This is why the 757's front end looks bug-eyed, the 767, just right, and the 777 - slightly squinty, widening aft to accommodate a nearly 747-wide cabin. Secondly, the...

hello Chaps and Chapessess, just wanted to stick my head round the door and tell you i've done a video for my song 'In My Helicopter' which might provide you with a chuckle :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z72fvLV8D6E hugs From yoar old freand 14 http://www.littleboxes.nl/the14thdisciple

I've been reading a 1910 Tom Swift book - Tom Swift and his Airship, in which the dirigible is also outfitted with "planes" - i.e., wings. And of course that's where monoplane, biplane and triplane come from, though I confess I'd never connected the two. So, can anyone tell me when an aeroplane's...
