http://jimsladesairlines.com/beil.html I've known Harmut from many years ago when he was flying his Ercoupe from the Bay Area. He returned to Germany a few years ago and wrote this report from his native land on the differences between US and German GA. -- Everybody's worried about stopping...

"From out of the clear blue of the Western sky . . .comes Sky King!" Here are links to every episode of the "Sky King" TV show. I wonder if any pilots on this ng were inspired as kids by this how? Enjoy! AJ http://media.af.tv/series/skyking/skyking-1.wmv

The other day I went flying, pretty close to the shortest day of the year, to preserve night currency. I took advantage of a day that wasn't brutally cold - in fact it was above freezing, so I didn't need preheat or thermal underwear. It was good to get in the air after several months of not...

Air density is criticial to aircraft performance, which is why it surprises me that both Piper and Cessna Landing performance charts show the climbout weight limit as a function of pressure height and not density height. As I understand it ( at least from Australian Regs) the aircraft needs to...

I have a software project that uses the FAA NACO (charting office)'s National Flight Database (NFD) as a source for controlled and restrictive airspace data. It works great, BUT ... The Controlled Airspace (UC records) only include classes B, C and D ... The Restrictive Airspace (UR records)...

What is rudder flutter ?

If you are eligible for retirement from the FAA I hope you are counting the hours until January 3, 2008 (for CSRS employees.) For FERS employees, the magic day is December 31, 2007 according to this article. But regardless of which date you choose---you should choose one of them and GET LOST....

I thought I understood everything that could be on a sectional, but before a trip to New York City airspace, I studied the sectional and terminal area charts a little extra carefully. Just southwest of Newark (EWR) (and also other places) there is a notation such as 70/+12 in blue for the floor...

I started going to airshows with my dad as a young boy in the 70s. Although often bored while my dad demonstrated and tried to sell his Texas Taildragger, 180 h.p. & long range tanks and various other Cessna conversions, I did get the honor of seeing some legendary aerobatic performers. Duane Cole,...

We're supposed to head to Wisconsin on the 26th -- but the weather is looking fairly ugly, with yet another low-pressure center zipping through the Midwest. Might have to fly the Subaru IFR at 0' AGL... Where are your chestnuts roasting this year? :-) Merry Christmas, all! --

(AP) CHICAGO - Dense fog and a low cloud ceiling forced airlines to cancel more than 200 flights at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport on Friday at the start of the busy holiday travel season. Travelers also encountered weather-related delays at airports in the New York City...

I planned to give some night flight rides to friends and family visiting this weekend. Winds during the day were steady at 8 or so at MGW and ACG. I called the Connellsville (VVS) AWOS and it reported winds calm after dark. So it looked like a good night to take a pleasant joy ride. Temps were...

I have always had problems with the heat in my plane. In the fall, I replaced a lot of the scat tubes, at least the ones I could get to easily. Unfortunately, that only helped the problem a bit, but it didn't cure it. Winter flights were an ordeal, especially for those in the rear seat. I...

In keeping with the Christmas spirit, this post is not meant to advance the technology of aviation, nor is it designed to stir any controversy (there's enough of that the rest of the year). This is just a lighthearted, whimsical post. Most pilots I've met talk about how they have always dreamed...

I never saw this in person but saw pictures of it. IIRC these are the characteristics: 1. "old" - I'd say from the 1930's to early 1950's. 2. monoplane 3. prop - can't even remember if it was single or multi 4. I'm guessing about twice the size of a DC3 5. closed cabin (I'm guessing it had a...

I am disappointed. I figured someone would have posted it by now and set of a fire storm of posts about how stupid it is and never to post it again! Bwahahaha!
