Nila Sagadevan | February 21 2006
Nila Sagadevan is an aeronautical engineer and a qualified pilot of heavy aircraft.

Run In With Mr. Edwards by
Jay Honeck
After living in Iowa for the last 7 years, it seemed that we were the only
ones left who had NOT been to the "Great Iowa State Fair." This year is
the 150th anniversary of this grand old tradition, so last weekend we
decided to check it out.
After the brief, 0.7 hour flight to Des Moines, Mary...

Big Kahunas by
Jay Honeck
http://makeashorterlink.com/?J63F258A6
Say what you will about GW -- he's got big kahunas flying into Iraq to spend
Turkey Day with the troops...
Sounds like even his parents didn't know about it until he didn't show up in
Kennebunkport!

AOPA credit card --- WARNING. by
RS
If you have an AOPA/MBNA credit card then you should check the APR on your
last statements. MBNA has been raising the APR on AOPA cardholders, even if
you pay on time.
So check your credit card statements and call AOPA credit card services to
complain.
And also call MBNA to drop the rate back down.

Hi!
I am a PPL, and co owner of an Arrow.
I have just over 250 hours total time, vfr only, and lot's of cross country.
However, during the past 3 years or so, I've constantly been overly alert

I know the sky is big, and probability is not...

MS Flight Sim As a Training Tool by
Jay Honeck
Okay, I know this one has been beaten up before -- but my eyes are now
wide open to the possibilities a sim can provide. Here are a few data
points for discussion:
1. IFR Flight
Today I visited a friend (and fellow pilot) who heard about our new
flight sim, and has set up MS Flight Sim 2004 (not...

Dudley Henriques[_2_]
Hi folks;
Please bear with me on this post. I've just spent the entire day
thinking about some things and have a few what I hope will be accepted
as friendly thoughts to share.
Keep in mind if you're reading this that what I'm going to say isn't
meant to be critical of anyone in any way and...

GA is priceless by
Jay Honeck
We just returned from a quick, overnight flight to Wisconsin, to attend
a holiday gathering of family and friends, and I simply couldn't help
but remark on the incredible utility and convenience of GA.
In 90 minutes (as opposed to 5.5 hours) we were parked on the ramp in
Racine, plugging Atlas in...

Why The Hell... (random rant) by
EridanMan
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-

interesting moment yesterday on final by
Tom[_5_]
So I went for a lovely flight yesterday, from Bedford (KBED) down to
Nantucket (KACK) for dinner. We flew down there in the last hour or so
of daylight with a smooth ride and great views, and then returned at

a few circles over...

$640.00 to fill the tanks... by
Jay Honeck
Tony Snow, "technical advisor" for our aviation video webpage (Tony is
retired RAF, and has forgotten more about aviation than I'll ever
know), confirmed for me today that it would cost $640+ for me to top
off Atlas -- our Cherokee Pathfinder -- in Great Britain.
Imagine! $640 to go fly! This...
