XM question for Garmin 396/496 owers by
Kyle Boatright
What are the weather overlay capabilities of these units? Can you overlay a
radar map on top of your airspace map? Across a route you are navigating?
The reason I ask is that the Bendix/King AV8OR I have does not have these
capabilities and I'm trying to get a better understanding of what...

What GA needs by
Andrew Sarangan
This is a follow-on to the various discussions on the future of GA.
Why aren't the kids who grew up with cell phones and iPods not
interested in aviation?
One key factor is the antiquated airplanes we fly. If we could only
drive a1975 Chevy Nova or something similar, with bolted down...

Riding vs Flying -- How many here ride? by
Jay Honeck
Having just returned from a 3-day motorcycle camping trip, the riding
experience is once again fresh in my mind. (Alas, I don't get to ride
much nowadays; but there was a time when Mary and I rode
coast-to-coast...)
I'm always struck by the similarities between riding and flying.

Flight Plan and Flight Log excel spreadsheet. by
Marco Rispoli
I just finished working on an excel spreadsheet that automatically fills in
wind correction angles and ground speed estimates.
I don't know if somebody already did this. I couldn't find it anywhere so I
did it for myself and decided to share it (since it worked like a charm for
me). If somebody...

Why Pilots of America rocks... by

Below is what was published today on the moderated piloting group, "Pilots

Henriques, myself, and a host of others have switched to, now that the
cross-posting trolls have emasculated this once-hallowed group.

I had an airplane that I had to sacrifice for graduate school 4 years
ago. Now finish and looking to get back in the game, I find local
avgas prices in my area range from over $6 to over $7!!! (Up from

ADIZ Violation Explained in AOPA Magazine by
Jay Honeck
The current issue of AOPA Pilot has a fascinating article about the two
pilots (one certificated, one student) who penetrated the Washington ADIZ
last spring, and brought the wrath of the government down upon us all.
What struck me was the entirely casual way in which it all happened. Troy

A Google Groups alternative to rec.aviation.piloting? by
Jim Logajan
I note that some people who wish to migrate to a more controlled aviation
forum have a couple issues with the alternatives such as AOPA and POA. The
first being that they appear U.S. centric. The second that the layout is
actually a backward step in user friendliness.

In a small GA aircraft, in which phases of flight will you normally use mostly
