I'm having an issue with 2 students. One has a hard time lining up/staying lined up with the center line (no wind and xwind). I keep telling him "toes forward" and "Have the center line cut through your body" Still not grasping it. The other student, likes to be 10-20 degrees angled left /...

Last night I took off with a band of thunderstorms ahead of me and a cold front behind me, and rode a 70+ knot tail wind home. Man, I've never seen the scenery pass by so fast! Of course the downside is that passing through 3,000 feet on the way to land, it got really, really, really bumpy and I...

Hi I am a student pilot hoping to take my checkride within the next month (PPL/A). I am after a David Clarke Headset but am not sure which one to buy. Does anyone know of a good website that has independent reviews on all the Dave Clarke models, the only reviews I can find are either on the...

I was reading my umbrella insurance policy recently, and I saw that they don't cover any liabilities related to my use or owning of aircraft. Needless to say I would rather give my money to a company that didn't have this exclusion. Does anyone have an umrella policy that covers flying, if so can...

Howdy. Does anyone know if a copy of the FAA's 'Airplane Flying Handbook' (FAA-8083-3) is available online in a PDF or HTML version anywhere? The book it replaces (The old Flight Training Handbook, AC 61-21) was available for download on the FAA's AC site, but I can't find the new book except in...

For those who don't wish to read the narrative, here's an abbreviated assessment of SNF 2004: High Points of SNF ******************************* - The first 1000 pilots received a cool "I flew into Sun N Fun 2004" hat. It even fits my fat head! - The food at Sun N Fun is terrific. Margaritaville...

I flew from Airport A to Airport B (did 1 touch-and-go) to Airport C (did 1 touch and go) to airport D (did 3 touch and goes), then returned to Airport A and landed. Airports A & D are greater than 50 nm apart. Airports A&B, B&C, and C&D are less than 50 nm apart, respectively. Should I log the...

I was pre-flighting my plane today until I saw this long red strip running down the entire length of my prop with a small puddle at the bottom!!! I hadn't seen it before. It was the first time flying in three weeks. I was at the plane last week, and didn't see anything, but the again, I wasn't...

So I was flying on a biz trip across the country yesterday, and happened to pick up an old USA Today, and I read the Editorial page, and what do I see? Apparently, the editors of USA Today are showing support for Richard Anderson, CEO of Northwest Airlines. Since it was a cross-country flight, I...

I flew our 172 N for two hours today at various altitudes between 3500 and 8500 experimenting further with LOP. Here's what I learned: 1) Forget "Peak" and "LOP". The buzzword applicable to a fixed pitch carb engine with single probes is "Richening" instead of "Leaning". The engine behaves...

While hanging out at Sun-n-fun this weekend, I came across the FAA training area and saw that they had a full motion simulator available for simulated spatial disorientation. I'm currently about 70% through ground school, and will begin flight training in a couple of weeks. I have been flying...

Coming in from cape cod... which airport would best serve the Casino's? Thanks, Mark

Hello everyone. Let me give you a little background on my situation. I am 25, married, and my wife's father is a CFI at a local field. He has taken me on a Discovery Flight, and I am hooked. In short, in the past 4-6 months, I have been reading magazines, posts, the internet, etc... all...

Hello- I am a CFI and I'm 19 years old. I attend college for something other than flying (although I want to fly professionally, just want a 4-year degree). I am wondering what people's suggestions are for a next step... the CFII or multi-engine rating? Which would be more useful at this point in...

Last May I took a trip I've always wanted to fly: from San Diego to Massachusetss where I grew up. It was almost all VFR too: I was trying for 100%, but the coastal fog at my home airport required an ILS. And an amazing circumstance too: my AI tumbled somewhere over Pennsylvania, and looked like...

I was wondering if someone can shed some light on a phenomon I keep experiencing. I took a Mooney up to warm it up prior to an oil change. There was 70 degree crosswind at 20 gusting 28. Needless to say, there was moderate turbulance below 8K. As expected, I got beat up pretty good just briefly...
