I'm a CFI with a first class medical issued 6/15/05. I began taking a banned medication (celexa) about a week ago. I have not flown since I started the drugs, and I don't plan on returning until the medication stops (the doc said that may not be for another 6-12 months). When I "get back" will my...

I'm in the process of vectorizing all the charts in the PA-28-161 Warrior III POH. I am mostly doing it to make it easier on me and my students when reading them. The takeoff roll charts you almost need a microscope to get an accurate reading, the lines are so close together. I plan on doing all...

I have my CFI right now, and I'm flying with a CFII in preparation for my CFII checkride. Do I log that time as Dual Received, as well as PIC, or just PIC, or just Dual Received? Also, as a CFI should I be logging the time I fly with my MEI for my multi rating as PIC, or is that stretching...

http://www.bestaviation.net/jobs/airline.asp?ID=24 Acording to this website, Gemini Air Cargo has 180 pilots employed, but only 12 planes in their fleet. Is this typical? That seems like a TON of people for so very few planes...

I've been googling my heart out for some fuel burn numbers for the Piaggio Avanti. Could someone in the know give me even an average ballpark number in pounds per hour?

I have never quite understood indiced airflow. Suppose there is an multi-engine airplane with wing mounted engines. I've been taught that while the engine is running, there is a greater amount of airflow over the wing behind the prop. The prop is throwing air back over the wing which is creating...

According to the Aerostar's specification sheet, it says "Must have 350hp engines above FL250". Is this a regulation thing, or just a limitation of the type? I tried searching through any kind of e-FAR I could find, but came up with squat. http://www.aerostaraircraft.com/specs.pdf Come to think...

I am interested in doing crop dusting instead / in addition to flight instructing to build hours in order to get a good aviation job. What kind of experience do they prefer? I know all you legally need is a commercial liscense (which I already have), so will that be enough? Do they want more? I...

What exactly do they mean by this? Has anyone ever been denied their ATP because they weren't in "good moral character"? What do they use as a metric?

I'm pursuing a career in aviation, but there are something in my life that have sort of been a sort of slow train coming during in the past 10 years or so. I think it is finally time I take care of these things, and as a result, I will most likley be put on medication that will void my medical...

I have always been under the impression that lift is the product of airspeed and angle of attack, and that lift is the measure of upward force acting on the plane at a given time. For instance, if you are doing slow flight, your wings are producing the same amount of life that you would be if you...

I live in the US and am currently training for a career in aviation. In about one year from now I'll have my CFII with a multi-engine rating. Ever since I was little I always wanted to live in another part of the world when I got older. Great Britian is one of those places that has always intrigued...

When I used to fly Cessna 152's and 172's, I'd always just say "Cessna 12345...". Now that I fly Piper Warriors, I began using "Piper 12345...", but then I realized no one else says just "Piper", they say "Seneca 12345", or "Twin Comanche 12345...", so I began using the callsign "Warrior 12345..."...

I asked this question to my CFI, but he just give me a blank stare, so I'm hoping someone here could answer it. As I understand it, all commercial maneuvers revolve around the idea of converting between potential energy and kinetic energy, and the control characteristics of the plane assiciated...

I'm doing some research, trying to find information on airplanes with counter-rotating props, but I'm getting a lot of junk hits from articles that use "counter-rotating" when they should mean "contra-rotating". I was always taught that "contra-rotating" was when you had two sets of blades...

ThousandsStandingAround What a huge waste of money

I got a good friend who works for the FAA at a major airport. He told me the experienced controllers and technicians are retiring and leaving by the dozens and the only thing they are hiring are black females and people who are basically unqualified and stupid. Now that's scary. I never thought the...

A liberal response to what I've read... There's no denying what you experienced. If you were thrilled by something, then that's what happened - whether it was planned or came from a surprise. Whether it was appropriate OR how you handled it is a question for debate. I've really learned something...

I was flying out of VGT last month (North Las Vegas) heading back to SLC in an Aztec after a great round of Golf. After getting VFR clearance from ground to MMM (Mormon Mesa Vortac) which is ENE of Vegas. Cleared for takeoff and given a heading from the tower, then handed off to Nellis aproach. ...
