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." (from: http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/2350628p-8728507c.html)

GA flying in Southhampton, UK? by xyzzy
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...

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 AFTT.

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 xyzzy
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 November...
