When do controls return to neutral? by
Mxsmanic
In a typical small GA aircraft, do the controls have a natural
tendency to return exactly to their neutral positions when you aren't
holding them and when you are on the ground? Do they have a tendency

faith in the fuel delivery infrastructure by

Making the OSH Arrival Safer by
Jay Honeck
As many of you know, this was our 24th consecutive Airventure -- and
our 8th flying in. I've seen the RIPON/FISK arrival from all angles,
both from the ground and in the air, and have seen pretty much
everything that could be thrown at us. Although it's always tense,
due to the proximity of...

It was the 3rd leg of an Angel Flight and I wasn't even supposed to be
flying it. I'd already flown the second leg from Natchez, MS to
Monroeville, AL, but the 3rd leg pilot had mysteriously failed to show--no

aboard.

When strange things like this happen, you don't question them, and you don't
ever pass them by. No sir, you seize upon them...

Careless Linemen by
Kyle Boatright
How do the rest of you deal with careless linemen? The kind who scratch
your airplane or chip the paint because they are either careless or have not
been properly trained on how to avoid damaging aircraft when refueling 'em.
Case in point - this afternoon I stopped by the airport to prep for a...

just out of interest: pressure pattern navigation by
xerj
.... when using pressure pattern nav techniques, what's a standard way for
working out groundspeed for flight planning purposes? Do you take the
forecast curved route and divide it up into segments and average it out?

The entire complex and parking lot was surrounded by a dense wrought iron
fence with a nasty "fish hook" shaped sharp pointed curve at the top. An
intercom opened the...

Proping Question by
Doug Palmer
Several pilots found themselves in a debate at our field yesterday. The
issue is weather it is safer to move the propeller on a (parked) aircraft in
the direction of usual engine rotation, or opposite usual rotation. This is
assuming that the propeller needs to move for some reason.
