D.A.: Pilot flew close to airliner NORRISTOWN (Pa) -- The alleged drunken pilot who was forced to land in Limerick Jan. 15 nearly collided with a police helicopter and came very close to a commercial airliner packed with passengers above Philadelphia, according to authorities. "One commercial...

We've got the PS Engineering CD/Intercom in our plane, and listen to CDs on long trips. I am obviously slipping into "dinosaur" status, as I have never downloaded music, for "burning" onto a blank CD. I *have* burned CDs, but I've always done it from tracks played off of another CD. Does anyone...

Hi all, Which of these myriad rec.aviation.nnnn forums is best for questions (and answers) about starting up a flying club? Casey

I had a first today; flying VFR across New England on this clear winter day, my route took me over Bradley, KBDL. I always tune VORs during my flights, so tuned Bradley's VOR. Identifying, though, was interesting. The morse identifier was FOUR characters, the last three of which were B D L. I had...

This month's EAA calendar features an Aeronca Champ on skis. I don't fly much in weather that is THAT cold, so.... What is with the foxy covers on the prop? -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

Studying both for the FAA/IR and a UK IMC rating. The UK IMC give a good clue to what it is. It allows flying in IMC but with limited IFR privileges. Essentially it is a get home safe rating. UK weather is so unpredicable that it is feasable to get caught out easily even with the most thorough of...

When performing eights on pylons, is the goal to keep the target at the same vertical position on the side window, as well as at the same horizontal position?

Hey all, Anyone in the Great Lakes area familiar with the procedures for overflying Canadian airspace? Specifically from the Detroit area to Niagara Falls, NY. Is there a fee if you don't land in Canada? Do you still have to file a DVFR flight plan? I can't believe you'd have to go through...

Is it allowed to listen to music while at the commands of an aircraft? Is so, do you? What else do you do during long flights once auto-pilot is engaged? Do you just take time to watch the landscapes?

I'm having trouble tracking down a statistic I'm after, thought you knowledgable folks might be able to help. As the subject title says: how many people are aloft in aeroplanes at any one time...? Thanks for your time.

Would they let him fly or would the TFR's keep him grounded? -- Roger Long

I have a friend who really wants me to take he & his two boys up- they are 3 & 5. I am worried about them "freaking out"- especially the little one. They have never flown before (commercially or otherwise). Of course they need to be in back of the 172, which would make it difficult for my friend...

Hello I am not a real pilot, just interested in aviation and simulation. My question is if the GPS with all its accuracy and worldwide availability will soon replace all other navaids for IFR. So a little provocative: who needs VORs and NDBs anymore?

I am looking for a partner to co-own a 50s-early 80s 172 (preferably) or 152. In short, I want to buy an aircraft but don't believe that sole-ownership will be a cost-effective solution for me. I single partner would be ideal. Preferably would hangar at MWC (Timmerman) but that doesn't have to...

Somebody pointed out in one response to this thread that when you add up all the "nominal" fees we shell out as pilots, pretty soon the total ain't so nominal anymore. There are lots of services out there (not just aviation related) that I'd like to use but I can't justify given the amount of use...
