How do I generate smoke "sky writing" from a SEL airplane and is it legal? Cliff

I'm a non-current pilot who needs to get to Minneapolis sometimes before the end of the month, and as a lot of folks are headed to Oshkosh, I thought I'd see if anyone has room for me. I'd of course share gas costs, and as I was a commercial IFR rated pilot I can help fly or navigate if desired. ...

Sorry for the cross-posting, Guys and Gals, but I'm appealing for your help -- NOW. Our City Council will be deciding THIS WEEK whether or not to put the dissolution of our independent airport commission on the ballot this fall. If this goes to the ballot, the damage done to our airport may...

x-no-archive: yes What are Class III and Class II medicals going for in you area, for example metro Boston or metro Philadelphia? I've run into the problem that the AMEs I've called are too busy with their regular practice to do medicals. Unfortunately, the FAA only permits so many AMEs per each...

If one learns how to fly single engine and multi engine aircraft in the airforce at a military flight school, does one automatically get a single engine, multi engine and commercial license upon graduation? Is this valid for civilian flying after discharge?

A couple of days ago, I downloaded a Diamond HK36 motor glider for Flight Simulator. Upon closer inspection of it, I found out that it has no mixture control lever, but it has a low-power turbocharger. So it got me wondering: 1.) does the real aircraft have that and 2.) can it be possible that,...

I was level at 1500' MSL and ATC announced a Gulfstream bizjet crossing from my right to left, 3000' MSL less than a mile lateral distance. I had my instrument student do a 360 for wake turbulence separation and dissipation. ATC questioned my actions and told me the 360 wasn't necessary. BTW: I...

I know a Google search reveals a lot about the Airmap 500 but I am more interesting in hearing from people who actually own and use one. I am not interested in discussions between Lowrance and Garmin and which is better than the other. In particular.. 1. Battery life is meant to be 12 hours , any...

regarding the long thread on transceivers... I still have the BNC antenna adaptor for the stolen unit. If any Vertex fan would like it enough to stop by and pick it up (can't see as it's worth packing up and mailing), I'd let it go for five bucks or maybe a few beers. In Dallas, near ADS.

I would like to hear from you if you have any good bad experiences with rainbow air in LA . As I am looking at them as a possible Training school for October. Any other recommendations? I will be coming from the UK so area is not a problem. Thanks in advance Simon (smugs)

Whilst supping a cold one with friends at our hangar not long ago, a short-lived yet intense summer storm blew through. High winds, heavy rain, and impressive lightning caused us to lower the door a tad, but didn't deter us from our appointed beers. Right as the storm passed, we watched in...

I posted several pictures that I took at the NWEAA Fly-in over on alt.binaries.pictures.aviation. I flew in with a few friends on Saturday morning. You can see such notable sights as Paul Anton and his Ercoupe and a 1917 Curtiss Jenny. I got to meet Paul's wife, Winona. I think Winona was a little...
