NBAA Raises Concerns Over ADS-B Security by
Larry Dighera
This satellite-based approach to NextGen Air Traffic Control is flawed. While
it permits defense contractors to deploy their market-ready technology and
wrest control of the skies from the federal government, it significantly
reduces air safety and opens a chink in the armor against terrorism. ...

Flying through rain by
Some Other Guy
What really does change when you fly something like a Skyhawk through
thick rain?
I just do sims, and all that happens there is a lot of noise and pretty
raindrop smears on the the windshield but the performance seems unchanged.
What happens in real life?

no thanks - remote controlled passenger planes? by
Skywise
http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/26/travel/remote-controlled-passenger-
airplane/index.html
No thanks. Not that I need to fly so it's a moot point, but I
wouldn't fly as it is purely on philosphical grounds vs TSA.
But that pales in comparison to the ramifications of remotely
controlled airliners.

Harrison Ford Reported Fair After Plane Crash by
Larry Dighera
Venice, California
Another facial scar for Harrison, and a blow to a vintage PT-22. Ford makes
the 6 PM news (as every pilot fears). Even at 72, I would expect him to heal
reasonably quickly and hopefully, fully. Nice job putting it between the
trees. The hearts of the aviation community go...

The best single engine aircraft manufactured in America, and
able to easily out perform all others, is owned by a Russian
company. The E-1000 turboprop is mostly made of composite
materials and is rated at 1200 hp, so climbing at 4000ft/minute
is no problem at all. Pure power, pure luxury.

and a couple of twilight evenings with pretty
good evening light. (had the red cockpit light on)
So that wasn't IFR.
Then flew out of Atlanta for an hour wearing the
hood for training. A little nauseating, but other
than that just kept my eye on the...
