Decalin instead of TCP? by
Bob Fry
With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will
start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy.
However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to
be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from
Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

"From the Earth to the Moon" DVD set by
Bob Fry
Maybe this is old stuff for most on this newsgroup, but I just
discovered this.
I rarely if ever hawk a particular product on Usenet, but this older
DVD set (1998) is fantastic. My brother-in-law gave it to me for
Christmas....thinking it was some boring collection of fuzzy
black-and-white 1960s...

Oil and the Future by
Bob Fry
Nice series in the Chicago Trib. Sure, it's written as doom-n'-gloom
entertainment rather than dry facts and analysis, but they gotta sell
papers. Does make one wonder about our own (general aviation) future.
Note: As a courtesy to r.a.p., and against all tradition, followups
have been...

Review of One Six Right DVD by
Bob Fry
First impressions after viewing the main picture and extra features.
It's quite professionally done, but ultimately it's not a flying or
aviation DVD, it's the history of Van Nuys Airport. Thus, unless
you're familiar with the airport--I'm not--it can be a little boring.
I found myself hitting...

The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft? by
Bob Moore
Peter wrote
There are various documents such as the cert of airworthiness, and
(for an N-reg in Europe) the FAA radio license, which some say need to
be carried in original.
The Radio License doesn't come from the FAA, it is isued by the FCC.

Using Excel/Access for your student's records by
BoDEAN
Any CFI's here use Excel or Access on their computer to keep a log of
their students and information on them and what you've covered with
them?
IF so, can you provide some tips on what a good starting ground would
be for designing a spreadsheet to do this.
Thanks

IFR logging question - is this legal? by
Brad
Peter wrote:
Hi All,
This is for an N-reg aircraft.
Aircraft: a standard piston single.
P1 seat: a pilot legal to be PIC under VFR.
P2 seat: a pilot legal to be PIC under IFR (but no CFI/CFII rating).
