I see that the Fairey Rotodyne had a max. gross weight of over 32,000 pounds. The only gyro in which I have time was close to 2% of that weight. It's been years since I've been to a PRA fly-in, but I only recall seeing *little* (two-person max.) aircraft - much lighter than the 5200 pound...

Hi all, discussing Pelican's Perch #15: Manifold Pressure Sucks! ( http://www.avweb.com/cgi-bin/udt/im.display.printable?client.id=avweb&story.id=182081 ) with some friends, we came to a point in the 172RG manual which says:

Why did you buy near an airport? Or wasn't it there when you bought the house?

Does anyone have any memories of the Canberra WV787, an aircraft used by the MoA as an Icing Tanker Aircraft, and by the Army Department of the MOD as a Biological Warfare research aircraft. For the last 7 years I have been researching Porton Downs' BW experiments held in public areas of the UK....

I had a wierd thing happen a week or so ago. We were VFR, and called up POU tower (class D satellite of NY Approach), 10 southwest landing with blah, blah. The tower controller told us to squawk standby. After confirming that instruction, we did so and a little while later he told us to squawk...

Hi all, I'm thinking of going back to school for AMT. Just wondering if all the schools are pretty much the same, or if some are lots better. And do employers really care. Or if anyone cares to comment on their own training -- what should I look for in an A&P program, what sort of experience...

Due to popular demand, AeroFile is keeping the pricing the same as the introductory price for the second edition of "Military Aircraft Designations and Systems". The 2002 Edition is completely reworked and updated, it now features designations from six countries including Canada, United...

Subject: Mountain flying instruction: McCall, Idaho, Colorado too! There are a few openings available in the Idaho back country mountain flying courses this summer. If you are interested in the next level of mountain, canyon and back country flying, please consider attending one of these...

Does anyone do an "automotive" type compression test on their aircraft engine? I think this kind of "dynamic" test might show problems (such as valves not opening all the way), that a leakdown test would not (and vice-versa). Anyway my annual is coming up and I want to do it. I imagine something...

I seem to remember that back in the '70s there was a requirement for an ATP certificate to act as PIC for aircraft weighing over 12,500 pounds. I also seem to remember that the corporate jets were kept below the 12,500-pound limit for this reason. I can no longer find this requirement in te...

Hello, My name is Kate and I'm a journalism student from Ryerson University. I'm working on a story about how Cessna Caravans perform in icy conditions. I'm interest in speaking to anyone that fly's this model ( 208B). I would like to speak to you about how the de-icing process works. And about...
