Since every aircraft has a different way to approach an emergency, which I think is the basic reason for having type-ratings individual to various models, how are emergency procedures taught during flight training? Are they for just the aircraft on which the training is imparted or are there...

Some of you might be wondering why, when Art Varrassi asked me a question about my advanced pilot book, my reply referred to my multiengine book. In true FAA fashion... (a) knee-jerk reaction (b) old timer's disease (c) intellectual laziness (d) all of the above. The correct answer, of course, is...

Is there a file (other than DAFIF) which has the coordinates of the boundaries or extents of class B, C, D, E airspace? I can't find anything in the FAA standard data files. SUA.txt only seems to have things like MOAs and restricted areas. -- Paul Tomblin ...

Hi folks, I was looking around recently and found this: http://www.avmapnavigation.com/ (large screen portable aviation gps) Looks like an improved version of the EKP-IIIc. Has anyone tested this (or the IIIc for that matter)? Comments, is it as good as it seems?

Folks, Has anyone piloted a YAK-40 earlier? Or known anyone who has used it for a decent length of time? Just needed feedback on its performance, reliability and durability. Like I said in another thread, there's one in disuse here in Khartoum that I've heard is up for sale real cheap. One other...

A quick question... is there anyplace in New England that has a Cherokee 140 on the line for rental/instruction? A partner and I are in the process of looking at airplanes to buy, and the 140 seems pretty good. But, he's never flown one (primary a high-wing type), and wants to try one before...

Hi, I have updated my navigation log spreadsheet to include pilot info, and pilot log entries. Consider it a cheap version of electronic backup. You can store your pilot log information in it, and backup the excel file. I will be adding some charts to show usage and distribution information of...

I am planning on doing my Private Pilot Licence but have a quick question. Is there a minimum timeframe that all of the flights/written exam/flight test must be completed in. I recall reading somewhere that you have 24 months after the application for licence to complete everything, or is this...

There are a number of us living in the same metropolitan area who go to the same large college about 400-plus miles away, with no direct airline service between the cities. There are about 10 of us, give or take. I am thinking this *might* be a sizable enough group to potentially charter a jet from...

Hi all! I've been reading here for a long time, but now I have a question for myself that I want to ask. I'm from Germany. Last year I have been in the US to begin working on my PPL. My goal is to get PPL then CPL. I have flown a lot of hours (over 70hrs), but since I had to return earlier than...

Santa's wife has decided that she would prefer that I fly with oxygen even below 12.5K and especially at night. So I've been given a tank et al. I was shocked today when I had it filled at Merucry Air. It is a 415 L size D tank. Because the pressure in their filling tanks were a bit low, they...

Our FBO has a poster on the wall entitled "A Genealogy of Piper Aircraft" or something similar. It shows the various lines of aircraft (PA-28, PA-32 etc) and the various models in that line. I've been trying to find a copy without success. While a quick trip to the color photocopies with the FBO's...

Since we are well into winter and snow and ice, how are you coping with it? What are you doing to pick out XC checkpoints now that the ground is covered with snow and everything looks different? How are you going to handle taxiing on slick or ice covered taxiways and runways? Have you ever...

I was looking on registry.faa.gov at one of the old guys around here that used to give a lot of instruction. I haven't seen him around in a little while. I went to look him up to see if he has a medical. The FAA shows he has a medical but it says... "VALID FOR STUDENT PILOT PURPOSES ONLY." This...

Please, folks. Some, I'd wager most, of us just don't have encyclopedic memory. When you use an airport identifier, please include the name of the airport, or the nearest town.

I'm trying to put together a web site explaining what we all stand to lose if we lose access to the Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File. Please have a look at http://navaid.com/dafif.html and let me know what you think. Anybody else out there making programs/web sites that rely on DAFIF...

Just got my first flight in a G-1000 equipped 182 yesterday. After spending 1.5 hours on the ground a few days earlier, going through the avionics modes, I went for a 1.4hr flight yesterday. The capabilities of the G-1000 are very impressive, but there is a lot to learn. The weirdest things for me...
