Bureaucrat double-talk of the day by
xyzzy
"We're not firing anybody," said Jones, a consultant whose firm, MD
Strum Housing Services in Indianapolis, was hired to clean up the
troubled agency. "This is a reduction in force that required some people
to lose their jobs."

I will be in Southhampton on business in June with a couple of free
days, one thing I like to do when that happens is rent a plane and
instructor at a local FBO for sightseeing flight. I've been able to
find those types of resources easily in the U.S. with airnav.com. Is
there a similar resoruce...

buy or rent a 2006 182 by

On May 28, 5:57 pm, john smith
I am not a part-owner in either of the two clubs of which I am a member.
I simply rent the aircraft. All of the aircraft are lease-backs in one
club and the club is incorporated and the corporation owns the other.
There are nine airplanes...

LLC ownership of airplane -- another twist by
xyzzy
There was some discussion of this concept in the newsgroup before,
with the consensus seeming to be that an individual owners get no real
protection putting his personal airplane under corporate or LLC
ownership. And now it turns out he might lose some protection, because
LLC owners are not covered...

High time airframe question by
xyzzy
Assuming proper maintanence and a good airframe log/book inspection,
are there any concerns about high time airframes, like insurability,
etc? My partners and I are looking at a warrior with over 11,000

GPS396 terrain warnings near airports by
xyzzy
When I fly with my GPS396, I usually don't put in a flight plan or any
direct-tos; I use the panel mounted KLN94 for that. I use the 396 just
for weather, terrain, and additional situational awareness. I had
never heard the spurious terrain warnings near airports that Dave
Butler reported in...

Requiem for NW_PILOT by
xyzzy
He'll be back. He can't help himself.
I enjoyed his posts, though I think he has extremely poor judgement and
a short fuse I still enjoyed reading them and the responses they
generated.
He's gotta be gratified that one result of his "goodbye" post was to
start a ****storm on the newsgroup.

Does an overhaul un-lemon an engine? by
xyzzy
If an engine has been overhauled 3 times, never making TBO either time
(not even making it to 1/2 of TBO 2 of the times), should I be concerned
that it might be a lemon, or if the current overhaul was done right and
the engine has been treated right since then, should I not worry about
how it did...

Interesting observatoin about the ADIZ-busting C150 by
xyzzy
Fire up AOPA flight planner or any other flight planning software and
plot a direct route, S37-LBT.
The result reinforces my earlier speculation that someone at S37 just
did "direct-to LBT" on a handheld (probably non-aviation) GPS and was
simply flying that line.
If so, dumb. Actually I can't...

GPSMAP396 Jepp update question by

My GPSMAP396 came with a coupon for a free Jepp update, but it must be
used within 90 days of purchase date (which I will assume will be the
ship date of 8/23). I want to optimize this to get the most recent data
I can within the 90 days. When will be the last Jepp data update before
