Plans for a small tug/tow device for C172? by
DK
Anyone seen any plans for an electric tug for a 172? I can get my
hands on a motor, but not sure how much horsepower it should have, or
really have a plan of attack for putting something together.
Yes, our 172 does need a tug. We just got a new hangar, and you have
to push it up a bit of an...

TV episode: terrorists+ultralights by
David Reinhart
"Sue Thomas: FBI" ran the first of a two part show tonight that has
terrorists getting ready use ultralights (Did you know they come in big
packing cases marked "ultralight"?) to spread bubonic plague. Just the
sort of program we need.

Flying w/faulty gas gauge by
Yossarian
I understand that functional fuel gauges are required equipment for day VFR
flight. Yesterday during my preflight in a 172 I saw that the right gauge
was functioning intermittently--it would show full, flicker down to zero,
bounce around, etc. Tank was visually confirmed full. Mechanic...

Flying Restricted Airspace by
H.J.
If I want to fly in some restricted airspace - nevermind the reason - how is
that done?
The chart says the controlling authority is ZLC Center. That's Salt Lake
ARTCC, right?
So if I'm flying VFR, what do I do?
Do I find any low alt freq to the SLC ARTCC in the AF/D and call "Salt Lake
Center....

Short trip to Oshkosh by
Trent Moorehead
Greetings,
Well, I went to Oshkosh last week and loved it. I spent about three hours in
the museum, not nearly enough, but it was enough to get a feel of the place.
The place was dead though. There was about 4 other people in the place
besides my friend and I. In a way this was neat because I...

Portable Carbon Monoxide Detectors by
Cecil E. Chapman
Anyone try any of those battery powered carbon monoxide detectors I see in
pilot shops for about $50. Are they worthwhile? The reason I am asking, is
that I'm wondering whether it is possible to hear one go off with headsets
on in a relatively 'noisy' G.A. aircraft? Recommendations?

Doesnt make much sense, 100ft over the runway, and the piper was

Is the DC ADIZ on the charts? by
Snowbird
from AVWeb:
"Frankly, we're a bit frustrated that pilots are still violating it,
and we don't know why," the FAA's William Shumann told AVweb
yesterday. "It's on the charts, it's on our Web site."
*Is* the DC ADIZ on the charts? Not on websites, on actual VFR
sectionals
and TACs?
Thanks!

I have a question around a 100 hour inspection requirement. I've had time
blocked off at my local FBO for over a month to take a plane this Saturday.
Me and another pilot buddy are taking up the coast of North Carolina and
are going to hit the airports in the Outer Banks and go to the museum...

Mounting my GPS by
Charles Talleyrand
I have a C-150 and a Garmin GPS Pilot III. Right now it's mounted on
above the interment panel near (but not too close) to the compass.
I would like to mount it on the yoke. Does anyone have any experience
with yoke mounts on a 1966 Cessna 150? Will normal yoke mounts
work well? Must I really...

Iowa City Is On The Kitty Hawk Tour by

We're going to be hard-pressed to go far enough north to be in Iowa City on the
trip back to Kitty Hawk, but it is one of our targets on the way home. What
particular day depends on a lot of things (how long we stay with Gail's sister,
how long it takes us to "do" the Aerospace Museum, etc.) but...

Forward CG Experience by
Jay Honeck
Recently we flew with a friend who weighs over 320 pounds. With he and I
in the front seat, and just Mary in the back, we were at the very forward
limits of the allowable CG. Thanks to the Pathfinder's 1400 pound useful
load, however, we were still 250 pounds under gross, even with full tanks...

Piper nosewheel steering linkage by
Jeremy Lew
I have heard differing accounts of whether the rudder pedals turn Piper
nosewheels when they are not on the ground. I know Cessnas have some sort
of cam arrangement which disengages the steering mechanism when weight is
taken off of the nosewheel, but there's nothing definitive about this...
