Hello. I am looking for a decent copy of an EAA video called "The Freedom of Flight". I believe it was made in 1993. I am also looking for another EAA video, I'm not sure of the name, but it was made in 1981, possibly not released until 1982. I think it was sent around as part of a...

At least a dozen aircraft from Florida were parked on the north ramp at BFM this afternoon. I didn't meet any of the pilots, so I couldn't ask why they would flee a hurricane yet park at a coastal airport on the edge of the projected path of the storm. I realize that the storm probably will be...

I am seeking some advice on flying into MDW (Chicago Midway). I will be going IFR from Dayton. I am planning on filing direct (/G) to the CGT VOR, because all STARs and preferred routings seem to terminate at the CGT VOR with radar vectors after that. I am planning on parking at Atlantic...

The Sport Pilot rules process brought with it a change to the Recreational Pilot rules. Now the Rec Pilot can get a sign-off for operating in ATC airspace and landing at B, C, and D airspace airports without being specifically trained for each one. However, my CFI didn't have and couldn't get the...

So how is everyone doing during this hurricane? Here in southern Lake county only 43 mph winds so far at 1:01 am Sunday. Supposed to pick up and get more rain and wind over the next several hours. -- Have a good day and stay out of the trees! See ya on Sport Aircraft...

The C172S has three fuel sumps in the nose. The C182S has two (according to the PIM, beneath the fuel selector and on the lower right side of the cowl)... but I am wondering what the thin stainless steel tube on the front of the firewall is for? It looks like a fuel drain, but I cannot find any...

OK--get ready for this: I'd really like to hear pilot comments about this. http://www.overclockedgaming.com/pentagoncrash.html www.Rosspilot.com

I've had a smoldering dispute with a CFI friend of mine for years about whether to announce (say) "zero-two" or just "two" when operating at an uncontrolled field with runways 2-20. My friend is of the opinion that the extra "zero" is superfluous, whereas I've always instinctively said...

Hi, I am a 35 year old software programmer thinking about a possible career change into aviation. I am currently working on my PPL. I've come to know some pilots who are currently flying for ASA and Comair. Both of them made UNDER 17,000.00 last year. They are both young guys without families,...

Hello, I would like to buy an AvMap IV and wonder what's the street (or internet-mailorder) price for this unit in the US. Avmap in europe told me that it's possible to load european data on an US-bought AvMap and the price they offer the unit for in europe seems quite high (~1665.00 EUR). Bet...

Can some of you users give me some pros/cons for each of the following: - Lowrance AirMap 2000c - Garmin GPSMap 296 Other than the Lowrance is $400 cheaper, is the Garmin worth $400 more?

Anyone have any recommendations as to which FBO to use? - Seeley Aircraft Services - Reinbold Flying Service - Valley Aviation - Saginaw County I am leaving Sunday morning.

I'm thinking of flying myself there from the east coast the beginning of October. I'd appreciate any thoughts as to what sort of weather or other problems I might expect getting into (and out of) that area. Thanks. Ron (EPM) (N5843Q, Mooney M20E) (CP, ASEL, ASES, IA)

Today I just saw a four blade prop on a V-tail Bonanza at Niagara Falls Airport, NY. This seemed a bit unusual to me, but then again, I only have a few years of flying experience. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of prop? -- Peter

So we're wrapping up our new "Corsair Suite", and it's looking great! It should be on-line by this time tomorrow. One thing we really need, however, is some sort of authentic Corsair stuff to put in it. You know, a hydraulic actuator, or an airspeed indicator, or SOMETHING from a real, live...
