When pilots quote how many hours they have logged, is this a personal log that is kept, or is every hour you fly entered into a national registry and formally kept? Crash Lander -- I'm not always right, But I'm never wrong!

BULLETIN: RWY 18/36 in Iowa City is being torn up by bulldozers and front-end loaders! As I am typing this, heavy equipment is RIPPING OUT huge chunks of the runway! In an act reminiscent of Mayor Daley's midnight raid on Meigs Field, after suddenly ordering the runway closed last week, our...

Correct me if I'm wrong: there's no speed limit in class B above 10,000 MSL ? Example: Denver's class B extends to 110. Andrey

Can anyone point me towards some good resources for CRM in a non-professional environment with two pilots? (i.e. which pilot should do what?) I'm looking to do some personal flying with other pilots and would like both of us to participate in the flight and be able to divide up the PF/PNF tasks...

The altimeter in this illustration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter is almost identical to the one in our Archer. I've been puzzling over what that little black and white hatched area is on the dial ever since I bought into the plane. It doesn't rotate with the Kollsman window knob,...

All, I have an ICOM A5 that I use for getting ATIS, clearances, calling for fuel, etc. If I were to go down in a remote off-airport, middle of nowhere situation (not at all unlikely here in AZ or NM) am I fooling myself to think I could raise someone on 121.5 or the local...

The Flyer: Last year you blocked AOPA President Phil Boyer’s nomination to the FAA Management Advisory Council, leaving GA pilots and aircraft owners without a voice on the council. Why did you do that? "Senator McCain: As head of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Mr. Boyer and I have...

Plop-plop, fizz-fizz... :-) In a previous thread I outlined the new (vastly more convenient) "alka-seltzer method" of testing your mogas for both ethanol and water -- but (for those who missed it) here it is again: 1. Tap a few ounces of suspect gas into a cup 2. Drop 1/4 of an alka-seltzer...
