Sorry for the broadcast but I seem to have lost my extra datacard for my GNS430. Does anoyone happen to have en extra one they'd like to unload? Of course, I don't need to have any data on there (in other words, not looking to scam for a more updated database). Thanks, Marco

Has anyone upgraded their older Strikefinder(plasma screen) to the newer(LED) model? My display is getting very weak and hard to read and I thought I heard Insight would upgrade your older plasma model to the newer model at a decent price. TIA, Pete

A couple of months ago, I posted in here about seeing a light twin climbing out of our local airport with only one prop turning. They were ~200ft when I saw them and they maintained a straight course and barely climbing as I watched them go out of site. I never knew what was going on...

I fly a an "aircraft which was not originally certificated with an engine-driven electrical system" under 91.215. I have no transponder, but do carry a handheld radio. I was recently told by an FAA designated pilot examiner that I cannot fly under the outer ring of the local class C airspace. I...

I am a private pilot without a current medical, but with a valid drivers license. Can I fly under the sport pilot rules, or do I need to apply for a sport pilot certificate? I have never been denied a medical. Danny Deger

Landing light circuit breaker 20 amp. Pops after about one minute. I have changed the landing light 4552, changed the CB and thought I had the problem solved. This morning Taxi at 6 am (still dark) I was pleased to have the landing light while in close quarters, then the CB popped. I have checked...

2.1 hours from Troutdale to Pullman at 120 KIAS, thanks to a gracious tailwind. Pullman-Moscow is a nontowered airfield, 6,700'x100' at 2,553' field elev with a Horizon terminal, so you end up in the pattern on CTAF with jet traffic. The runway is great but the taxiway is in disrepair. In fact,...

Does anyone know if there are excel spreadsheets or other computer programs that help with pre-flight planing?

I have been playing around making V-n diagrams for the various airplanes I rent from my flying club. I made one for our P28T-201RT and was looking for the numbers on the PA32-300. The one item for the PA32-300 that would not follow the formula for calculating the lift line was Va. The book shows...

I'm training to get my pilots certificate and doing pretty well so far. I' ve posted a couple of times in this newsgroup in the past few weeks and I've received some very good advice. Therefore I thought I'd throw another question at you. I'll be commuting with my license. Flying form my home...

You still have today (Saturday) and tomorrow to go see the Sussex, New Jersey airshow.. Flew in yesterday for the show and it was great. The volunteers did a great job and were always helpful and friendly. The airshow was pretty much non stop from about 1:00 till 5:00. The new x-team masters of...

Where is Miss Manners when you need her. I think I've gotten myself in a real jam. Our club could really use some publicity. I saw a very nice article about a flying school in a nearby city so I called the reporter and offered to take him flying. He is quite interested in doing a story on the club...

I'm planning on flying to New Orleans over the Labor Day weekend to visit some family and wondered if anyone had any pireps about which airport/FBO is recommended. Seems like the choice is limited to KNEW, KMSY or 1L0. I've made a few phone calls to check out prices etc. but wondered if anyone has...
