I've got a question for the group. Suppose you find yourself in the following situation: You are flying a C182, landing on runway 22. The ATIS lists the winds as 240 at 10. The windsock is not visible. You approach at a normal airspeed, full flaps, coming over the numbers at 65 kts. The mains...

Thanks all. Not planning an overly-long flight (2.5 hrs each way, likely, depending on winds). Done the DVD on a short trip prior (1 hr flight) with the kid. She loved it. Then, about 15 minutes after her mom jammed 2 juice boxes and 3 cookies down her throat, she puked. It was a calm day to...

Does anyone know of any reasonable cost GPSs suitable for both street and aviation use. I'd like to have turn-by-turn directions and be able to look up com frequencies. -Hopeful -Charles Talleyrand

Unfortunately, we have sent a comment to the NWS to keep the TWEB routes in place. I work for Flight Service in the Northwest and we use these local forecasts as much as possible. Of course one forecast is always doing better than another, but for mountainous routes and specialized geography,...

I'm trying to get my MS Flight System working well and want to know what settings to use for the various display options to optimize my performance I have a AMD 3000 cpu with 2GB ram and a GEForce 8600 gts video card.

I'm a low timer (110 hours) scheduled to fly from Palo Alto to the Bermuda Dunes in the Palm Springs area Thursday afternoon. Unfortunately, I see there is Wind Advisory in effect from 11 am Wednesday to 9 PM PDT Thursday and forecast winds of 20 to 30 mph from the northwest. It'd be one thing if...

Don't be fooled by the Divide And Conquer strategy of the pro ATC privatization crowed. How long do you think piston aircraft will remain exempt? Is there going to be a non-negotiable guarantee, that once ATC is privatized, piston aircraft will REMAIN exempt from user fees? I have heard no...

I just received a personal phone call at home today (Saturday morning) from a ranking manager at Lockheed's FSS. The purpose of the call was to admit their shortcomings and attempt to instill some hope that Lockheed is correcting all of their problems with the briefing/flight plan system. The call...

I note that the Baron (and presumably other twins) has a prop sync switch that somehow synchronizes the prop speeds on both engines. From recordings I've heard of the interior noise of the aircraft, it does sound as though props that are just slightly out of sync can produce a very irritating...

Any tips to ease the flight? Good tips for fuel consumption savings? Tips for taming my 2-year old for the flight? Mary and I have been doing long x-country flights with our kids since birth (they're 13 and 16 now), so we've done this a few times. 1. At age 2, they probably won't keep the...

Hi, all: I have a great little Fujitsu touchscreen tablet-type PC and a Bluetooth GPS receiver. I'm considering acquiring software to use the tablet as a moving map and Wx device, just buying a Garmin 396 or 496, or using Flightmaster and Copilot on my Palm Treo and doing without weather. I've...
