best glide speed of a warrior by d&tm
the best glide speed of a warrior is quoted as 73 kts. but best glide should be at best lift /drag ratio which I recall is at about 4 degree angle of attack. But this must be a function of weight. So my questions are what weight is the 73 kts based on ? and how much does this best speed change...

Biometric I.D.s by Andrew Tubbiolo
Hey All: So it looks like we are all going to get fingerprinted, iris scanned, and who know what else. Is this news to anybody? How much opposition is there to the new ID requrements? What do you folks think and feel? I'm creeped out. I think our country is being taken over by a bunch of paranoid...

AOPA Real Time Flight Planner Question by Casey Wilson
How can I enter a user waypoint in the form of radial and distance? For example: 10 NM from XYZ(VOR) on the 265 radial. Sure, I can use the rubber-band feature and drag a waypoint to that approximate position but I'm looking for something a little more positive. In DUATS you identify it on the...

Look Both Ways Before You Cross... by Marco Leon
"Clear left, clear right." I say it everytime I cross a runway during taxi. Today was the first time in four years that I saw an aircraft on short final. I held short and called ground half-expecting the controller to say that he was a low approach on the ILS. "Ummm well, he shouldn't be there." At...

Garmin 430 and Comm Strength - Solved! by Marco Leon
There have been various posts going back a ways on the comm "strength" of the GNS430 versus other radios. I've "solved" my particular problem by adjusting the mic gain on the unit itself. I've had various "complaints" about my carrier strength over the years with various ATC facilities so I was...

Precision Landings and practice by [email protected]
As a segue from off airport landings....how about precision? Can you consistently touch down at minimum speed with your regular aircraft within a 50' mark? Can you do it with a short/soft/XW/ Obstacle? Can you do it with any configuration of flaps and or power? OK....got an electrical failure that...

Thank you -- the regulars. by [email protected]
I am a long time lurker and really enjoy reading the r.a.p and r.a.s groups. It always amazes me how nice the regular contributors are. I got my certificate in 1999. I have learned a lot from the posters here and just wanted to thank everyone collectively. There is no other forum where trolls get...

Letter at end of flight number? by Laura
I'm tracking a flight tonight between Boston and Paris. The plane was delayed on the earlier flight leaving Paris, so of course BOS-CDG is delayed too. But here's something strange: It seems that the original flight number was cancelled and a new flight plan was filed with a letter suffix. So...

Our Landing in Meigs Field, four year ago... by ThomasH
We saw recently in AOPA news that FAA filed at last some punitive fines against the City of Chicago for the so unorthodox method of damaging and closing the airport. This jared our memories, mine and of my friend, with whom we once traveled across the continent from California to Oshkosh. A...

Flight Times by [email protected]
I really don't know anything about flying, and at times am terrified on a commercial airliner (something about turbulence...) Anyway, I do enjoy flight sims and would like to work through the FS2004 training and then move onto X-Plane. I know this isn't realistic, but I will have a better...

Radio 'altercation' with ATC by [email protected]
Howdy, I was interested in some other pilots' 'takes' on the following. I was up with a student a few days ago, when another CFI I know (flying out of the same airport I do) also with a student had an issue with an air traffic controller. We were both flying out of airport A, which is...

I want to buy a plane by year-end but they're not making it easy. by T.Roger
I don't have my ticket yet -- and I'm really committed because I want to buy my own plane to train and fly -- and I want to take advantage of the tax write-off about to expire at year end. I've been at this since August. But, hell, they're not making it easy. All I've asked of Cirrus, Piper and...

Aerial Photographs/Aerial Patrols by [email protected]
As is common in the industry, our electric utility performs regularly scheduled air patrols. Our aerial contractors are looking for so called "danger trees" that could come in contact with the lines, right of way encroachments, and facility maintenance items. We're using both fixed wing and...
