I posted a while back that I have given up my long-time (OK, "relatively" long-time) subscription to Jeppesen in lieu of Sporty's IFR ChartViewer. Just to recap, I can get a year-long subscription to the ChartViewer and get every approach, departure, arrival, minimums, etc. that are printed in...

We have used the Airmap 1000 for over a year. In preparation for our trip from NY to Denver, I checked the website for updates. It is my habit to google for users' experience. One of the user reported having a bit of problem updating the Jeppesen database. Another reported having problem with a...

There should be a interlink which brings engine power to flight idle any time cabin pressure is lost above FL180. The aircraft wil descend under autopilot. There is statistically very little terrain above 18,000 feet and what there is is unpopulated. Of course there should be an override, but it...

Apparently sometime in 2004 the database became too large but I would still like to update my unit to at least the year 2004. Please contact me via email Ron Lee

Is there some way to learn when an NTSB final accident report is scheduled for release? I coulnd't find anything on their website addressing the issue. Thanks

Has anyone here every flew to or by this place? It is about 30 miles South of Fairbanks. I was flying around that area in MS FS 2004 and noticed a runway on top of a small plateau in the middle of nowhere with no other mountain terrain near by around. In FS 2004 it is 1000 ft tall with just...

A new bid to save Concorde for the nation and see it flying again has been launched by an all-party group in London spearheaded by Montgomeryshire MP Lembit Opik. The Save Concorde Group in Westminster believes the supersonic aircraft could be given a new lease of life at air shows. They also want...

I'm looking for a source for quality aviation-related clip-art (eps or similar format, i.e vector images editable in Illustrator or FreeHand). Anybody know of some good sources? I see aircraft silhouettes and other good quality line drawings in all the aviation print publications (usually in ads...

I've never been to the Reno Air Races but have heard absolutely amazing things about it. I'm going this year along with a couple of friends. I'm wondering what the best way to the race. The choices a 1. drive from San Francisco there. How's the parking situation there? Is the traffic...

I live in the US and am currently training for a career in aviation. In about one year from now I'll have my CFII with a multi-engine rating. Ever since I was little I always wanted to live in another part of the world when I got older. Great Britian is one of those places that has always intrigued...

Heard about a pilot podcast on NPR and decided to check it out. I think it's pretty good. It's a bit slow, though. You people with dialup connections might not be able to handle it. http://joepodcaster.libsyn.com George Patterson Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person...

Hi! Is there a software package for PDA handhelds that do flightplans, W&B, E6B calculations, and customisable checklists? Also, moving map via bluetooth GPS, and they must have Europe aviation database. Anyone?

Howdy, I live right next door to Placerville Airport (KPVF). I can literally walk there. I'm looking to avoid a 2 1/2 hour drive to Reno, and see if I can get a lift from one of you pilots heading that way one of these weekends. It will be just my girlfriend and I, probably leaving a Friday...

I was told by a friend that a SR22 based in our airport (El Monte - KEMT)crashed a week ago while taking off from Henderson Executive in Las Vegas. At the time, it carried 4 people & full fuel and temp was 120. All 4 survived without injury and the chute was not deployed. I cannot find this...

Hello everybody: I am possibly going to move to Tampa, FL, and I was looking for flying clubs in the area. I visited the couple of airports in the area (vandenberg and Peter Knight) and asked about rental rates in the FBO, but I much rather join a flying club, rent from them, contribute to the...
