Worst weather, ever... by
Jay Honeck
Usually winter is my favorite time of year to fly. The air is cold and
crisp, the visibility is CAVU, and the landscape has its own stark beauty.
Not this year. Mary and I have not flown in weeks -- not even the pattern --
a new record for us. The weather has simply been appalling, with...

things to carry by
Gary Drescher
A pilot crashed on a NH mountain in fog yesterday. He survived, but his
17-year-old son did not. Rescuers were able to find him in part because he
was blowing a whistle. I just added one to my flight bag.

Steering on the taxiway by
Mxsmanic
Is it better to use just the rudder or differential braking to turn on
taxiways? I understand that steering mechanisms vary considerably
from one aircraft to another, but I'm still curious. In this case,
I'm wondering about a Baron 58, the aircraft I fly in my sim (most of
the time).
I note when...

Cindy McCain Pilot? by
Larry Dighera
Last night on The Tonight Show, Cindy McCain mentioned that she would
be doing a lot of flying as part of husband John McCain's 1982
Congressional campaign, so she attended flight ground school in an
attempt to overcome her fear of flying. She said she then received
flight training, and earned her...

Switching to ground.... by
David Rind
I landed at BED a couple of days ago, and as I was rolling out
the controllers switched, so I never got the usual instruction
to "turn off at Golf, ground .7". Since Golf was the first
taxiway to turn off on anyway, I made the turn off.
Tower was now so busy (common at BED) that I could not get a...

Multiengine Rating by

Hi,
i'm interested in the multiengine rating (land), VFR-add-on to my
PP-ASEL.
Any comments about the best training aircraft for these purpose ?
(PA34 Seneca, Beech Duchess, PA44 Seminole, Diamond DA42, ..)
There are big differences concerning the rating requirements.
Some flight schools offer a...

Top Ten Things that Suck About Oshkosh by
Jay Honeck
In the past I've been accused of being hopelessly starry-eyed about
Oshkosh, to the point of waxing poetically sappy.
Just to prove that I'm not all sniffly about leaving OSH, I thought
I'd list my Top Ten List of things that suck about Oshkosh. Feel free
to add yours.

Rough Field Landings by
[email protected]
Here I am with the big stick again. I can't recall anyone discussing
rough area landings or hostile terrain landings in a long time. For
example, forced to land (no matter the reason-you supply one) and you
are headed into a corn field, or a rice paddy, or trees, or perhaps
mountain slopes. Well...

Lightspeed Headset Story-Wow by
Al Gilson
I have a Lightspeed 15XL ANR headset and I like it. It really cuts down
on the noise. However, when I pulled it out to go flying a couple of
weeks ago, I discivered that the headband was broken. I was depressed.
I have had it for about 18 months and I figured I was going to be
royally screwed...

ILS approach to near minimums - Video by
[email protected]
First time for me going down to near ILS minimums by myself. Video
includes how I brief my IFR approaches.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCk_RRMemnM
Video I think does a good job on demonstrating why the runway may not
be always exactly in front of you after wind correction angle
considerations...

Taking newbies flying... by
Dan Luke
....offers endless opportunities for screwing up the experience for them, as
I've demonstrated yet again.
My business partner's 21-yr. old son has been hinting around for a few years
that he wanted to try flying sometime. When he finally asked outright to
take a flight, I was happy to agree,...
