Okay, I know I've seen a lot of engineers and technical folks on here. I have a complex math problem relating to the classic wind triangle that I posted on sci.math and received little response. I don't know if they're stumped or just not interested. :-) Here is a copy of my original post and the...

The long flight does NOT have to be on the same day, it is acceptable to have a stop, but it must be as it says below landings at three places, with one a straight line of 250 NM. I would log the flight as stages, with the citation of 61.129 in the remarks, with notes that it was a...

It was briefly mentioned in one of the longer threads that a contact approach requires 1 sm reported ground visibility. It reminded me that I had flown a contact approach some 8 months ago to an airport about 15 minutes after the tower had closed (there is no automated weather available) and...

Anybody ever get vectors to final for RNAV approaches? Around here (Mobile. AL), I never hear it, although there are plenty of ARNAVs with lower minimums than the VOR approaches at both airports. If you ask ATC for one of the ARNAVs, they'll clear you to an IAF every time. Is there something...

We're visiting friends who live in downtown Chicago next weekend and I'm considering a few airports for our visit. Aside from lamenting about the murder of Meigs (which would have been perfect, of course) or suggesting a boycott, can anyone offer suggestions as to the best field and FBO for the...
