Sun N Fun? by
Jay Honeck
Mary and I are (God willin' and the crik don't rise) headed that way
for the first time since '04. We'll be working the booth with our
friends in the "Flying Colors Glass" booth (in the SNF equivalent of
the North 40) promoting their windows and our hotel (where several of
their windows occupy a...

Usage fee process by
Danny Deger
Any ideas on how usage fees would be processed (are processed in Europe)?
Does the system automatically track what each tail number uses every month
and send the owner a bill? I have a plane without a radio, so I guess I can
save on a lot of the fees if they show up. To the air traffic system,...

GPS unreliable NOTAMs by
Mxsmanic
Does anyone know what the "GPS IS UNRELIABLE AND MAY BE UNAVAILABLE" NOTAMs
are all about? Some of them have a radius of nearly 400 nm. That's an area of
half a million square miles--almost three times the area of the State of
Texas. If it's a test of jamming equipment, it sure is conducted on a...

"Street pattern" notation on charts? by
[email protected]
Hello all!
I'm wondering about a notation I've seen on a couple of VFR sectional
charts. A small area - no bigger than about 3 or 4 miles on a side -
will be outlined with thin black dashed lines, with a note "street
pattern". The note is in the same typeface used for other landmarks
like "golf...

DUATS vs. ADDS by
Robert M. Gary
I've noticed that often the TAF's in DUATS are much older than ADDS.
Has anyone else found this? It appears that either DUATS does not
posts updates or they take much longer to post.

Format for stopover flight plan by
Danny Deger
Does anyone know the correct format for a stopover VFR flight plan? Many of
us often have a single flight with a stopover for fuel. I have never tried
to file a stopover. I also understand the FAA guys aren't that familiar
with it and often don't understand what you are trying to do and it is...

The Most Beautiful Thing About Aviation... by
EridanMan
This was originally intended as a reply to MX's callous assumption
that ATP's look down on Private Pilots... But on further reflection, I
would actually like to break it out as a separate topic.
After a particularly beautiful X-country-for-the-hell-of-it this
weekend, I was filling out my log when...

Commercial Certificate by
kevmor
I'm looking to work towards my commercial certificate soon and was
wondering what I should expect. I passed the written today and will
be starting the practical training soon. I know there are more
difficult maneuvers and the complex aircraft flying, but what else?
Other than that, is it mainly...

I have an opinion on global warming! by
Jim Logajan
But since that subject (and my opinion on it) has nothing to do with
piloting I'm not going to share it. I hope by making this posting that I
can hint to others that they direct their opinions on that subject to more
appropriate forums.

Changing Logbooks by
Steve Foley
I'm due for a flight review shortly, so I figure I'll start a new logbook
with that entry.
I'm wondering what anyone else does regarding endorsements. I have a high
performance endorsement, and I don't know how I should carry it forward.
Should I photocopy the page from the old logbook and...

pollution of jets against turbine aircraft by
[email protected]
With all the problem of the modern planes according to ecology (CO2,
white vapour trails, etc ...) I would like to ask a question :
-- does turbines and normal airscrew planes less pulluting aircraft
than pure jets one ??
-- does this aircraft use less petrol for a journey ( knowing that
they are...

Caribbean recap by
Kingfish
Just got back from a week of flying Caribbean charters in the Pilatus.
We were based at San Juan, PR (SJU) and flew a bunch of trips to St
Bart's, St Maarten (the place with all those cool widebody landing
photos on Airliners.net) St Croix, Nevis and Mustique. St Bart's and
Mustique are tied for...

396/496 database ? by
karl gruber[_1_]
Do you have a late database in your 3-496? Does it include 0ID2? That's
zeroID2.
I don't want to upgrade my database till it's in there. I know it's in the
430W.
Best,
Karl

It's unfair- snow! by
Viperdoc[_4_]
Two weeks ago we had weather in the upper Midwest of 78 degrees and sunny.
Took the taildragger out and did some touch and goes at three different
airports, and they went fine. It was the first flight after three months due
to a mandatory prop inspection, and the plane lands hot- 120 in the...

So There I Was... by
Kyle Boatright
....on my first post-engine inspection flight. The plan was to stay within
gliding distance of the field, "just in case", so I launched, made a wide
circle of the field, while climbing to 3,000' AGL. When on what was more or
less an extended crosswind, I made a descending 135 degree left turn...

Rationale behind vacuum instruments by
Mxsmanic
Can someone tell me why vacuum power is popular for certain instruments? I
cannot see any special reliability of a vacuum pump as opposed to an electric
motor. The only reason I can think of is historical, in that many small
aircraft have traditionally not had on-board electrical systems beyond...
