http://members.cox.net/jgalban/id60.htm Neat photos of Johnson Creek. It's funny -- that is one of the most popular airports to "fly" to in our Kiwi flight simulator, so I am completely familiar with the terrain in the photo. I'll bet I've flown the Maule and Super Cub into that strip a...

Are VOR's all MH based? I was flightplanning the other day (I must be one of the few poor souls left who flight-plans by hand... I guess I just haven't been flying long enough to get sick of it yet, I consider my flight planning to be 'part of the experience') And I got to thinking- Why in gods...

I am a person with reactive hypoglycemia (gets weak/confused if does not eat healthy snacks/meals regularly) - I'm sure there is not much chance of being certified to get a PPL or go onto being an airline pilot - I just thought I'd ask if anybody knows what the deal is, or if anybody knows about...

I'm just starting an appropriately-named thread for this topic, as it seems like something worthy of discussion. The specter of full automation replacing pilots entirely continues to loom ever larger in commercial and military aviation. The old arguments against it are beginning to ring quite...

"I will be in town on a hit and run raid Friday to pick up my brothers boat and bring it to its new home." I'll be gone all day Friday - Bloomington and Eden Prairie. Are you over-nighting? Do you have a dark corner of the airport picked out yet, for the Bo?

I'm looking for the artwork to make Fudpucker World Airlines (Pulaski TN, Serving The World Since It Was Square) business cards. I've googled two sites, one on infininet from ~cuban8 and another one on an ohio net ~cuban8 and both of them seem dead. infinet gives me a "server not found" and...

Working on getting my PPL and I'm trying to figure out the difference between standard rate turns versus constant rate turns and their relationship to speed. IIRC, a standard rate turn is 3 degrees per second and turn you 180 degrees in 1 minute. The rule of thumb for the bank angle to achieve...

I went up today to practice crosswind landings. The wind was about down the runway at my home airport so I went to Sky Manor (N40). This airport has a 2500x50 foot runway and requires vigilence in gusty winds. I did 2 landings and 1 go around (due to the gusty wind) using runway 25 at Sky...

Has the party started, yet?

Woman (in drugstore): "Do you have Viagra?" Druggist: "Yes." Woman: "Can you get it over the counter?" Druggist: "Yes, if I take two."

Is it "cheating" or bad form or against regulations to plan a route based on VORs and then fly it by GPS, particularly when the aircraft may be out of range of the VORs at some point along its route? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

All, Our club is in the final stages of purchasing a 1998 Cessna 182S. Much to my dismay, I noticed the lack of a 12-volt cigarette lighter (or it's 24-volt equivalent) anywhere to be found. (am I just not looking in the right place?) What are the options here? How difficult and/or expensive...

Am I correct in assuming that changes to mixture diminish with increasing altitude? That is, a mixture change is more important and larger when going from sea level to 5000 feet than when going from 10000 to 15000 feet? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

Had another flying lesson today. The plan was to go back out into the training area again today. Instructor said we'd do some more forced landing practice, some more stalls, trying to get a wing to drop, which apparently doesn't happen real easy in the Gazelle, and we'd also do steep descending...

I asked my instructor on the weekend what a pilot is expected to do, should he come across a downed plane, or was in the vicinity on another plane that was going down, or making a forced landing. He said that you should tune to the relevant ATC frequency, and inform them of what has/is...

I have a nice set of DC 10-13-S that I'd like to convert to ANR. Headsets Inc advertises in AOPA Pilot magazine and has a reasonable web site for products and services. They also have some customer testimonials of varying degrees of flattery on their site. I'd sure be interested in hearing other...
