Santa Monica Showdown: City v FAA by
Larry Dighera
Perhaps the city should not have permitted housing development at the
ends of the runway; more suitable zoning might have been industrial or
commercial. Rather than crippling the airport, perhaps a more
equitable solution would be for the city to purchase those homes they
believe to be in danger,...

Here's a learning opportunity involving the effects of hangars on

this aircraft and noticed that it disappeared from the flight line last
summer.

Portable intercom repair - where? by
john
I have a Pilot Avionics PA400-3BL that needs to have the cable
replaced. Anyone have a suggestion on where to buy a replacement
cable or where to send it for repairs? Unless I overlooked it, their
website doesn't list any replacement parts or a repair service.
Thanks,
John

Parasite Drag? by
Ol Shy & Bashful
Anyone here seen that picture of the Beech 18 with 13 jumpers outside
hanging on or sitting on top of the fuselage? They started out at
14,500' and when they were all outside, the flight continued for at
least a minute and a half while the photos were taken.
I was prompted to post this in response...

Looking at an old Ercoupe today... by
Jay Honeck[_2_]
So three (of our original six) members are continuing down the road to
finding an old, LSA-compliant airplane. The other three dropped out
because they didn't like the notion of a "family membership" that would
allow multiple pilots on a single club membership. (Not surprisingly, those
were...

Cindy McCain Pilot? by
Larry Dighera
Last night on The Tonight Show, Cindy McCain mentioned that she would
be doing a lot of flying as part of husband John McCain's 1982
Congressional campaign, so she attended flight ground school in an

Maintaining altitude by
Mxsmanic
Is it better (in a small GA aircraft) to maintain altitude using minor changes
in pitch and trim alone, or using both pitch/trim and throttle adjustments?
I'm asking just about maintaining altitude once there, not climbing or
descending to an altitude.

ATC assigned altitude? by
Tina
It used to be that when we were assigned an en route altitude we held
it, plus or minus a needle width or so -- husbands trained as
engineers are apt to be a little compulsive about things like that.
Well, we had a long discussion with another pilot who had different
advice. He suggested, since we...
