Will the FAA be the next victim of the Government AX? by
NOIRS
We are one Mid-Air away folks
WASHINGTON - Hurricane Katrina turned FEMA into a "symbol of
a bumbling bureaucracy" so far beyond repair that it should
be scrapped, senators said Thursday. They called for
creation of a new disaster relief agency as the next storm
season looms on the...

will this fly? by
Lee Elson
Please excuse the cross post, but the topic might be of interest to
several groups.
I'm wondering whether providing light aircraft transportation services
(people and/or cargo) and consulting to small businesses is likely to
be a successful approach to setting up a very small aviation business.

Windmilling Prop & Vacuum Pump by
Matt Young
Ok, a curious question just popped in my mind. Say that one was flying
IFR in a piston single, maybe a 172 or 182. While enroute, either in
actual or above a cloud layer, the engine fails. Will the windmilling
prop keep the vacuum pump going enough to make the AI and DG usuable
during descent...

Winds on approach by
kevmor
I flew yesterday and did some practice approaches, and the winds were
about 20 knots gusting to 26-28. I've flown almost all approaches so
far in a different 172 that had a 180hp conversion. Because of the
winds, I kept almost full cruising power on the descents to try and
maintain my normal 90...

Windsor Tower by
Richard W. Graves
I am based at Grosse Ile MI (KONZ) and I was practicing approaches Monday
morning at Windsor Ont. The controller asked me to remind all Detroit area
pilots that Windsor loves to have us come there and practice. He also
wanted me to tell everyone that there are no Canadian ATC charges for...

Winter Cloud Tops by
O. Sami Saydjari
This is somewhat related to the optimal altitudes question, but I
thought I would start a new thread here...
What are the typical cloud tops at for winter flying--if there is any
such thing as typical. I would venture to guess that tops are below
10,000 ft 80% of the time. I am talking here...

wonders of VFR on top by
Robert M. Gary
The other day I wanted to get a clearance to get above an overcast
while in cruise. When I asked for a clearance the controller said it
would be awhile because my destination was more than 500 miles away.
He said he needed to get me a clearance all the way there even though
my intention was to...

Wrong data in Jepp GPS database? by
Roy Smith
I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back
into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered
it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8
and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

WxWorx by
Wyatt Emmerich
After struggling with my EchoFlight Orbcom datalink, I gave up. Forty minute
nexrad data, when it worked at all, didn't help me much. Lo and behold, they
now have a Wxworx interface, which I just installed today. Within two
minutes I have all the weather data in the entire U.S. in high-res...

WxWorx continued by
Dan Luke
Today the Sony VAIO PCG-TR1AP notebook arrived, so I was able to install
WxWorx on it and add the GPS map option.
The Sony is a dandy little machine. It's about 10.5"x7"x2" folded up. The
screen is 10.6" diag. and, as advertized, very bright. It was easily
viewable in the car when I took it for a...

WxWorx flight test by
Dan Luke
Today was a good day for it, as there were CBs in all directions
around Mobile (so, what else is new?). Around the airport, though, it
was scattered cu. with bright sun, a good test for the Sony notebook's
viewability.
The WxWorx receiver slipped neatly into the Cessna's right front map
pocket...
