Future of Electronics In Aviation by Le Chaud Lapin

Turn to Final - Keeping Ball Centered by skym
While making a turn to base and final recently, I was aware that I was going to be wide with my normal turn from downwind through base to final, so I banked more to keep as close to the runway centerline as possible. I kept thinking about the infamous and usually fatal stall/ spin by some pilots...

Simulators by birdog[_2_]
A bit of neophite comment on simulators. Some years ago I bought a Microsoft simulator, played with it a while and relegated it to a young friend. I'll say this - I wish I had this when I first started chasing instruments for certification. The first major hurdle, at least in my case, was...

medical question by Emily
I've been running a 102 degree fever for the past two weeks and have been so tired I can barely get to work. Finally made a doctor's appointment (with a new doctor) today, but wasn't planning on getting in the same day and had taken Tylenol for the fever...so no fever when I showed up. Long...

Airplane Pilot's As Physicists by Le Chaud Lapin
Hi All, There is a long discussion ongoing in rec.aviation.piloting about what causes lift on a plane. You can read from the link below. Please note that about 80% of the post are mostly ad hominem attacks and should be ignored. There are some small bits of real...

When to acknowledge ATC by Andrew
ATC says "radar contact, 20 miles south of XYZ, proceed on course". Do you acknowledge this transmission? How about when ATC says "altimeter setting 2992" on your first contact after a handoff? Does this require acknowledgement? In the past, I've acknowledged such things if the controller was...

Spins by [email protected]
I went over to the student board a while back. Someone, who I believe was not yet even a student pilot, was all on about how spins should not be allowed because they were too dangerous to be taught. That's a complete and total crock. Airplanes are suspended in a 3D space, they can be in any...

Kerry is a pilot? by Toks Desalu
I was watching MSNBC recently and learned that John Kerry, a democrat, is a certified pilot, I saw a quick episode of him flying a plane in left seat. There is no way to recognize what kind of plane, but it is definitely a low wing. Just wanted to share what I saw. Toks Desalu

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...

If I am instrument rated and my aircraft is fully equipped for instrument flight, and I start out a flight with a VFR flight plan, and it gets foggy enough that I'm below minimums, is there a way to switch to IFR in flight, or do I have to have filed IFR from the beginning? If it's possible in...
