I think teaching that the fuel gauges are useless (which is very common) is teaching a dangerous myth. With...

The FAA did not immediately return phone calls for more information. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,327767,00.html http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,327665,00.html I wonder why? Maybe as the safety of our national airspace system continues to degrade and fall apart they will adopt a...

Flyers, I would like to give a small PIREP of the new Lightspeed Zulu headset. I bought one for the Bluetooth capability, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it had much more to offer. The comfort and fit was equal or surpassed my Bose X. The ANR was about equal IMO to other headsets...

What are the odds I can get away with taking my ICOM radio and listening to the cockpit?
