4 Attachment(s) Leaving the community by David Brooks
One thing - one of so very many things - I learned in my five years of flying is that partisan politics does not fit into the cockpit. Most of my flight instructors have, I know, been to the right of me politically. I had a most enjoyable flight with CJ - although he has since earned my...

Thrown out of an FBO... by Jay Honeck
Decades ago, in my younger days (okay, waaaay younger), I was asked to leave a drinking establishment or two, and I've had a few women show me the door, over time...but I never thought I'd ever be asked to leave an FBO. To our amazement, it happened to Mary and me today. It all started pleasantly...

I give up, after many, many years! by Jay Somerset
I give up -- not flying -- but subscribing to this NG. It is just too riddled with crap and backbiting, to the point that it carries little if any useful exchange of interest to active pilots. It isn't worth the effort any more, even with multiple kill files. So good riddance to 90+% of the...

We Are All Spaniards by Jay Honeck
We are all Spaniards today. As a percentage of Spanish population, the horrendous terrorist attack on Madrid has now actually injured and killed more people than the World Trade Center attacks did to America in 2001. Terrorism must be stopped, whatever the cost. Whether it was Basque separatists...

Unruly Passengers by SelwayKid
How would you handle a situation where a paying passenger began to manhandle the controls? What would you do if a passenger keeps interrupting you during a single pilot IFR approach into a very busy airport? What would you do if your passengers lit up their marijuana in the back of a twin? What...

Backwash Causes Lift? by Le Chaud Lapin
Hi, Student pilot here, self-teaching using the Jeppensen Private Pilot Kit after taking ground school. :D I read in the book that combustion "creates" energy, which is technically not true, but I decided to ignore it since the pictures are sooo pretty. Now, in Chapter 3, section about airfoils,...

Should I be scared -- C172 over Gross by tman
Flown C172's for quite a while, and never had anybody in the back. Now I'm planning on quite a trip, with 2 pax and luggage. When I fill the fuel to the *tabs*, calc everyone's weight honestly and consider baggage -- I'm 75 lbs over the 2450 gross on departure. Maybe 100 over gross if I assume...

UAV's and TFR's along the Mexico boarder by John Doe
How much of the American boarder with Mexico is out of radar contact? There was some fuss about the FAA creating TFRs for the UAVs that are flying with boarder patrol along the Mexico. Why can't the UAV just fly along under an IFR flight plan and everyone else just avoid the little thing...

Why don't voice radio communications use FM? by Mxsmanic
Perhaps this is a naive question, but: Why don't voice radio communications for aviation use FM radio instead of AM radio? I realize there's substantial inertia in the installed base of AM equipment, but surely one could allocate some new frequencies to FM and use them in parallel for some years...

Cessna Cardinal 177 RG II v. Piper Arrow III (70s) v. Piper Arrow III (brand new) by [email protected]
So I've decided to buy a plane (in July of 2007), and I've come to a dilemma. I learned to fly on a Piper Arrow and very much like that plane, though I haven't flown one in over a year, what I have been flying is a Cessna Cardinal 177 RGII, very nice plane, great handling and a pleasure to fly as...
