I'm planning to fly from Boston to Key West next month with a stop near Bethesda on the way down and in Charlotte on the way back. I'll need/want to make some additional stops along the way, of course. This is a longer flight than I have made before and much of it will be through states I have not...

I've been searching "Google" to find information on jet takeoff and landing performance. I've searched AOPA and NBA, but can't find what I want. I'm looking for a good dissertation on V1, V2, VR, BFL, second segment climb, etc. Anybody know any good links? Best, Karl "curator" N185KG

I was reading some of the ICAO findings of the Korean Air 007 shootdown, and I was struck by the fact that an intertial navigation system on the 747 was used for much of the overseas flight. Of course, this was 1983 and GPS was probably not used in civilian aircraft yet, so I really shouldn't be...

I take my blood pressure at home (monitor is accurate) and it is normal, but everytime I go to the doctor or AME I get nervous as hell and my BP goes skyhigh. Anyone have any good tips to overcome this?

http://msnbc.com/news/993760.asp?0cv=CB10 Seems to be a little more well written and objective than most articles on this subject. They mentioned AOPA's Airport Watch program among other things. They also have a picture of that C-172 hanging from that building in Florida (it was Florida, right)?...

I plan to fly from Tucson to Fort Worth tomorrow and see that Meacham lists, besides the fees I am used to seeing, a landing and a ramp fee. Anyone know how significant these fees are for an Archer? -- Regards, Mike

The plane was displayed...

I've been a pilot for a number of years, now. The first flight in a GA airplane I took as a passenger - the trip that flipped me over into learning to fly - included a trip down the Hudson corridor. I've been wanting to do this for a while myself. I was in the air with my wife, with the trip...

Shortly, I will have to fly a Baron from USA to Australia. Can anyone give me the names of companies in the Bay Area (SFO/OAK) that install ferry tanks. I was also wondering do you buy the tanks or what? Or do you hire them and return them after you reach your destination. Steve.

Hiya, Does anyone have suggestions as to where to go for lessons in the Richmond, VA area? I'm north of the James, but can travel, of course. I'd prefer not to go as far as Charlottesville or Williamsburg, where I know there are Cessna schools. (Don't remember the exact term.) Thanks very...

If anyone saved a DUATS for Sunday mid morning on routes between PWM and LEB and could send me or post the winds aloft section I would greatly appreciate it. I did some climb tests this morning and returned home to discover that I spaced out and forgot to save my DUATS forcast. Is this stuff...

I am a CFII looking for some high quality training software for the Garmin 430 / 530 nav systems. I have the manual, video, and sim software but smoething a bit more interactive would be nice for ground training. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Hank

Just curious - does anyone know about how many licensed pilots there are in the US? I believe AOPA claims membership of about 400,000 - I wonder what percentage of licensed pilots that represents? Thanks. -bb
