Class E extension by
SB
I am still confused on this particular issue and was hoping somebody in here
could point me in the right direction. I'm sure most of you are familiar
with the class E extension from C&D airports to help facilitate instrument
approaches. Well here's the question. If I can operate in VMC in the...

GA Life near Manhattan by
Marty Ross
I'll be moving to Manhattan from Los Angeles (does it get any more extreme?)
next month.
Any advice or relevant anecdotes out there to help me gather some leads
about continuing my flying hobby from there? I've been renting (in L.A.) -
usually from the FBO where I did my training.
I'm IFR rated...

Dear all,
I've just published my books : one about aircraft characteristics, and
another one about turbofan and turbojet engines. May be they could interest
you, that's the reason why I leave this message.

A different lamp base by
Blanche Cohen
Had to replace the cast iron/steel/whatever cylinder (Piper part 65319)
on my cherokee a couple years ago because of a crack (which later was
an AD, but my A&P caught it early). The shop presented it to me with
the comment "it'll make a *great* lamp base!".
Well, not for me. I don't think any of...

We were doing three series sequences at 3000 and the Class B floor where we were was at 4000. The seqeunce consisted of a "Sharks Tooth" to an "Immelman" followed by a "Spin".

Back in the saddle - flying again! by
GEG
ALRIGHT! That felt good!
After a 2 year hiatus, I'm back in the saddle again!
I was so mentally ready!
Although I've only flown 4 times (last year once for a 20-minute
hop in a Piper Tri-Pacer tail dragger on a grass strip), I hit
the rectangular patterns, maintained altitude on turns, hit

how to get started as AC broker? by
Bill
(Looking for serious replies please...)
I am a ATP pilot with a general aviation background, and am growing
tired of the insecurity of the (no matter where you work) "pro pilot
job." Pagers, on call, no real vacations, etc, etc.
Another friend of mine, also an ATP, feels the same way. However...

Destruction due to turbulence when below Va - how? by
Roger Long
It's not complete protection, it just loads the odds a bit more in your
favor.
The aircraft is as likely to be broken by a panicked response by the pilot
or a botched attempt to recover from an unusual attitude and being at Va
will reduce that probability significantly.

Idle question about aircraft in movies by

Although I'm not a pilot, I find it fun to jot down the tail numbers
of airplanes I see in movies and TV shows, then look them up to see
what kinds of planes they are and where they're based. (Or at least,
where their owners are based. Airplanes are notoriously peripatetic. ;-))
Sometimes the...

Small aircraft exhaust silencer manufacturers? by
Seppo Sipilä
Hello all, I'm trying to find manufacturers of exhaust silencers for
typical Continental and Lycoming small-aircraft engines. I know of
Gomolzig, are there others?
I'm looking for officially approved silencers, preferrably such that
they can be installed to the original exhaust manifold.

Any W&B calculators that work in 640x480 on HP4700 PDA? by
Jose
I am after a simple W&B calculator for a PDA, with a few E6B
calculations (density altitude, say) but nothing else.
Try CoPilot, for the palm. It does more than just w&b, but you don't
have to use it. IT is outstandingly excellent though.

ANR squeal on descent by

Somebody explain to me why ANR headsets squeal when you are descending from
FL180 and lower in an unpressurized aircraft. Flightcom is modifying their
Denalis to deal with this but they say all ANR's do this.
