Bill Mulcahy

of Jamaica Bay,
the FAA and the Port...

Autogiro as PAV? by
Dale Harris
Why hasn't the AutoGiro ever taken off as a PAV (personal aerial vehicle)?
It has nearly VTOL capabillities which are crucial for any serious PAV IMHO.
Maybe one with computer controlled fly-by-wire (which would make it safe to
fly for relative novices ) could help kickstart the market, although...

Standard Weather Briefing efficiency by
Ben Hallert
Hi guys,
Got a strange question for you. When I flew in Los Angeles, I'd call
800-WX-BRIEF, get connected to the local FSS and the call would go like
this.
Him: "Hawthorne flight service."
Me: "I'd like a standard weather briefing."
Him: "Go ahead."
At this point, I'd just list off all the data....

Avoid Insurance Cancellation Gouge by
Andy Shane
I got a nasty surprise from AVEMCO yesterday: a $150 surcharge for
terminating my insurance before the policy expiration date.
'Turns out, most carriers impose a 10% "Cancellation Fee," according
to my new broker, Travers & Associates.
So, not only was AVEMCO non-competitive, they gave me the...

35 Airports In One Day Web Site by

A couple of years back a pair of brothers (?) rented a Piper Arrow and flew
it to 35 airports in the San Francisco Bay Area starting at Reid Hillview
and ending up back there. One of them did a web site describing this
exploit. For the life of me, I can not find the web site. I really liked

737-700 by

Hi,
Recently I was in a 737-700 during my trip. I noticed that the
landing speed was quite high. Anyone know what the normal landing
speed is for this aircraft?
Also, I noticed that there was another way to slow down the aircraft
after touching down. Was it reverse thrust of the engines? I...

on any of my mobile or base scanners I can only pick up transmissions

Does WiFi affect your choice of FBO? by
[email protected]
I'm interested in knowing how important the availability of WiFi
access to the Internet is when pilots choose an FBO. Is it enough of
a benefit to really affect your choice, or is it just one more thing
that is nice to have.
If it affects your choice, is it enough to make you select one FBO
over...
