I am trying to locate a local pilot or two in the South San Francisco Bay Area who makes frequent business trips to the Concord Buchanan airport that is about 20 minutes flight time away. At the hours I would need to travel to a business meeting near the Buchanan airport the freeway traffic is...

I have a question regarding the dashboard of the AA5-B Traveller, as my father owns one. The top of the dashboard says "Do NOT hold" which he blatently ignores. He argues that it is there to tell you that you mustn't hold it when getting in. Now I have said that it means that you musn't hold it...

An airplane has its right front seat belt broken. Is it legal to fly, assuming nobody is sitting in the right front seat? I say no, others say yes. The reason I say no is that 14 CFR 91.213 (d)(2)(i) says that it is only legal to fly with inoperative equipment if the that equipment is not...

On the 'apron'? Would the ATC specialist understand if I rejected his 'apron' and used the ramp instead? Would the FAA administrator forcibly correct me during certificate or ratings exams? The use of the word 'apron' is so odd as to consider it forcibly queer. Pointedly, they are trying to cut...

Crossed Controls Stall? It would be dangerous on an approach to landing. That was warned about in a reply to my previous thread; by Vaughn, who only mentioned crossed controls and did not include the word "skid." But what I'd read in my texts did not seem so concerned about forward slips to a...

As there is no medical requirement for reporting, how will the FAA go after Sport Pilot's with DUI/DWI convictions?

I am a former student pilot (with about 15 hours) who is developing an autonomous UAV. I've read contradicting reports that lateral acceleration is and isn't an accurate indication of slip. The inclinometer ("the ball") in a full scale/manned airplane measures lateral acceleration. I've read that...

I'm considering going in for a private pilot license. Just wanted general feedback from anyone who has one or is considering opting for one. Cheers

Electric planes will fly circles around gasoline planes in the near future.

I'm referbishing a APH5 flight helment. Know were I can obtain the interior pads? Also were to get an adapter jack for military to civilian? Has any one painted one, if so what is best type of paint to use?

A few years ago when people were discussing the possibility of electric-powered flight, you'd get hacked on pretty hard for suggesting such a thing would be practical or possible in our lifetime. Obviously if you knew anything about physics or electrical engineering, why, you'd know it was totally...

I just flew my Mooney up to Vancouver (this is somewhat aviation related). When I got there I noticed that sometimes the traffic lights were just green and other times they were flashing green. I asked many locals what the difference was and none of them knew. Some thought it was related to the...
