I have been toying around with the idea of buying a Colt or a Tri-Pacer (having just foolishly sold my Ercoupe) and ran across an ad for a Colt with a child seat STC. I did a google search, a deja/google group search (on rec.aviation) and looked at the Short wing Piper web site and found nothing...

I fly a couple of planes which have RNAV equipment installed. I feel very comfortable using the equipment for the enroute portion of the flight. I wanted to start flying some RNAV approaches. The closest airport with an RNAV approach is Connersville, In (CEV). It is the new style RNAV...

I was told by a co-worker that a new Part 91-mandatory compliance reg has come out, requiring all airplanes to meet a min. climb gradient of 2.5% for second stage climb gradient, unless published otherwise. In other words, if no specific gradient is published for XYZ airport, then the airplane must...

Hello Everybody, Thanks for everyone for the suggestions to my earlier questions. I have decided and bought an Etrex Legend, after all. I also have MapSource's Canada Metroguide with it. Now I ask for ideas and/or tips on how to set up and use this unit (either together with an M515 or an older...

I'm on a roll now -- so here's a new page of pix Mary and I took at the National Air Tour stop yesterday, in Anoka, MN. If you like old planes, find the nearest place the tour is stopping, and get thee to it! http://www.alexisparkinn.com/national_air_tour.htm Enjoy! --

Okay, so I finally got some time here to post the pics from Oshkosh 2003. Got a couple of good ones from the Rec.Aviation party that we hosted at our campsite in the North 40... See 'em at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/oshkosh_2003.htm Look closely, and you'll see pix of Ron & Margy getting...

Anyone out there who retired from their non-aviation career (as in you didn't get paid to fly) and became a CFI or commercially rated pilot? I'd be interested in your experience, either positive or negative and which ratings you obtained along the way. I'm looking 12+ years down the road when I...

Anyone have one of the first units? WxWorx website is stating they are now shipping. Looking for some firsthand reports. I gave up on Garmin's GDL-49 (tactically useless), and Control Vision (transponder interference problems with some KT-76 transponders and flaky downloads in some areas of the...

All right! Can't a guy get away from civilization for a while, safely out of e-mail range, without the world falling apart?

I reside about 6 miles off the departure end of MSP runway 12, so I'm used to hearing a lot of jet traffic. I've only lived here for 6 months but I quickly adjusted to the noise. It's acutally not that bad, excepting the venerable DC-9. Today, though, what looked like an F-18 flew over. Wow. I...

Climbing at the speeds given in the Cessna POH for our 172 N are not a particularly good idea. The nose is so high that the view of any traffic ahead is pretty well obscured. 80 knots provides visibility sufficient to see even some aircraft that may be climbing to your altitude. The engine stays...

Thanks for the good product review Dan. I have had the same experience with my setup. The install was easy and once you convinced the XMRadio Customer Service Rep that they had the package you wanted things went smoothly. I had a Fujitsu Tablet PC that had a great screen, but it was just too...
