Just read the article on the new sweepstakes plane. What stood out was the 700 lbs.+ full-fuel payload on the early Archers. Is that right?? Is anyone seeing that kind of payload? It's hard to believe it has the same if not better load-carrying capability than some Sixes/Saratogas. Also, it'll...

Does anybody know what are the takeoff and landing rolls (fully loaded) on a soft field for a normally aspired STOL conversion-equipped 206 (any popular conversion)? Thanks Triple Delta

A Cessna 208 Caravan crashed on Vancouver Island near the town of Port Alberni killing the pilot and Two passangers. According to the local news the pilot had radioed a Mayday declaring that he had an engine failure and was going to attempt a dead-stick landing on a logging road but he didn't make...

It's hard to believe the number is so low... As of the end of 2006, there were 597,109 active pilots, according to the AOPA Jan. 12, 07 newsletter which cites the FAA's estimates. This number has been declining slowly over the long term, down from a high of over 827,000 pilots in 1980. The numbers...

I don't normally post crash stories but this one seemed just too bizarre to not post here. From http://www.sltrib.com/nationworld/ci_2492440 (but I first saw it in my little local Alabama newspaper) "WHEELING, W.Va. - Authorities called to the scene of a weekend plane crash found no people - dead...

A Canadair RJ-200 pilot reported a 250 KIAS speed restriction due to structural reasons. Can anyone provide more detailed info on the RJ-200 problem???

Today, I was IFR over the fog near LIN VOR and thought I'd use the 296 to give me the AWOS freq at Jackson airport. So I moved my pointer over to Jackson and hit enter and the 296 shut off! So I hit the power button and acknowledged the first screen as usual, move the pointer over to Jackson,...

I just pulled by Skymap IIIc out and relaced it with the Garmine 296. There are certainly things I like better about the large screen IIIc but I really like the crisp colors of the 296 and the fast update rate. The turn coordinator seems really good and may work in a real IMC emergency. In anycase,...

A week ago, I had a chance to my second ever Angel Flight. This one involved flying a cancer patient from my home airport to Santa Monica, CA (KSMO). Seeing as it would be my first time flying in the Los Angeles area, I asked my brother to fly along as co-pilot. It was an early morning...

They aren't doing too well! Is it maintenance, training, or both? http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/07/07/colombia.crash.ap/?iref=mpstoryview Vaughn -- Will poofread for food.

Well, just got back from my 2nd flying lesson. It was a perfectly clear day. Not a cloud to be seen. A little blustery on the ground, but nothing major. Today, I did my first take-off. I wasn't expecting it to be such an intense experience. It was much twitchier than I was expecting. Not really...
