Last night on Discovery Channel there was a story of a Peruvian 757 that went down because the two static ports had been taped over for cleaning and not removed. As you might imagine, the airspeed indicator and altimeter gave erroneous readings and fed the onboard computers erroneous data; after...

Anybody have tips for my planned flying/camping trip to Gulf Shores or Dauphin Island? Which is the better destination? Can one tie down for several days at the latter? Thanks, Mike

AW&ST 26 April. American and United have cut 7.5 % of their flights at O'Hare to pervent congestion. Dialog was strictly between FAA and the two carriers. THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND CITY OF CHICAGO WERE NOT INVOLVED IN THE DISCUSSIONS. Do you think Daley could go out and tear up some O'Hare R/W as...

For learning about flying and aircraft, there's no place like Usenet -- specifically the "Rec.Aviation.Piloting", "Rec.Homebuilt", and "Rec.Aviation.Owning" newsgroups. These forums attract hundreds (thousands?) of aviation enthusiasts each day, and represent a depth and breadth of knowledge that...

Hi, Does anyone know if Scenic Airlines (Vegas) has a training contract? If they do, how long is it? Thank you, Sky

AW&ST, 26 Apr 04 21 March the characteristic con trail of sequential puffs was observed over CO. Along side this con was a normal con which was appeared to be an escort bird. As the puffs came out, it was seen that there were two adjacent puffs that quickly merged into a single puff. From this...

I would like to have a wood model of my aircraft made. It is a Mooney Bravo. Do you folks recommend a good company that makes these custom for your N-number and paint job ? Any advice would be appreciated.

I usually pump my own, but today I called ahead and had the FBO fill it for me (only 53 cents more/gal!). I wasn't even present for the fueling so I was extra paranoid during preflight, and I swear the 100LL was not as "blue" as it usually is. It smelled like gas, and when I finally got a big...

Hi! We just got the bill for our new engine.....*GASP** It should be ready and mounted in a few weeks. It's a 1968' Piper Arrow 180 hp. Great plane! Is there anything we should be aware of the first few hours running a newly installed factory overhauled engine? It's a Lycoming.

Here is another link to the airplane you were wondering about. http://www.beriev-usa.com/main/index.html Some really nice photos and mpegs here as well as all the technical details. Enjoy.

There's been some discussion here about Cirrus' less-than-stellar safety record. Someone mentioned that perhaps the Cirrus line, with all of its whiz-bang electronics and slippery airframe, is attracting the "wrong" kind of pilots -- meaning, perhaps, too much cash and not enough sense? I've...

Hi Folks, I'm trying to get a feel for how many countries use inches of mercury and how many use millibars/hectopascals for altimeter settings. If you know what particular countries are using, I'd very much appreciate a quick post. Many thanks,

How does the military's use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle intend to comply with the Part 91 See-And-Avoid mandate? Will there be new Restricted Areas imposed along the border, or will the UAVs be flown in Positive Control...

I'm starting my private pilot training next month (for my own statisfaction, I'm 44 and have a good career going, I'm not interested in flying as a profession). I'll be going at it part time and wondered what other things I can use to get the most out of my instrutor time. I've seen pilots courses...

I was reading a "debate" in another NG about the ANG "yanking" President Bush's pilots certification. 1) Does the military issue and have control over military certifications, just as the FAA does civillians? I would assume so, but not sure... Also, if that is the case, how easy would it be for a...
