What if... by
john smith[_2_]
I play mental "What if.." games when I fly, trying to imagine the best
way to handle an in-flight emergeny.
One of the aircraft I fly is a 1982 Piper Turbo Arrow IV.
Nowhere in the POH does it mention the emergency procedure for a
turbocharger failure resulting in an oil fed fire in the engine...

What the wife notices by
Robert M. Gary
I thought this was pretty funny. My non-aviation wife has about 800
hours in the right seat but has never expressed any interest in
aviation or the airplane (other than being a good method to get to
cool places like the beach or a remote area of Mexico). Last night at
dinner she was able to rattle...

Skymaster MEL by
[email protected]
Posibly a dumb question and one that has been answered before. I did a
quick search and did not find the answer.
If you did all your twin training in a Skymaster and received you MEL
would you be limited to inline thrust twins or is a "normal" MEL? If
it is inline thrust only how are would it be to...

Hi.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATION FOR UNMANNED AIRCRAFT PILOTS
Though it may sound like one hand clapping, an unmanned aircraft must
have a pilot -- just not on the plane. And someone has to worry what
may happen if the pilot...

Pilot locked in F22 by

For what a F22 costs you'd think they'd throw in an extra set of keys. :)

Questions on VFR sectionals and TACs by
Mxsmanic
There are some mysteries that I've encountered while learning to read
VFR charts:
1. I see airports with dashed cyan circles around them that I presume
indicate Class D airspace (based on the chart legend). However, the
circles are not always the same size, and I don't see any indication
of their...

Tomahawk 125 hp STC performance? by
virtuPIC
Well, there is this kit to boost your Tomahawk to 125 hp. However, so
far I could not find statements on speed gain and fuel burn.
So my questions are
o How fast do you go with it?
o How much fuel do you burn?
Thanks

Got my Arrow rating! by

Well folks, after dreaming about it for months, I finally got my Arrow

5 Flights to Make Before You Die by
Jay Honeck
We've flown coast to coast, Canada to Mexico, for the last 12 years,
and we have seen a lot of beautiful sights. There are way more than
five flights to make before you die -- but these are my Top 5. Can
you add yours?
1. Grand Canyon. Flying over the Grand Canyon is an awesome,...

A call on 121.5 by
Dylan Smith
The day started off quite normally.
I had a day off, the sun was shining, and the Auster was just waiting to
be flown. The airfield the plane lives at is rather sleepy on a weekday
owing to be a farm airfield with only a few aircraft - so I was quite
surprised to see quite a lot of activity. There...

that Shell has been selling gasoline without ethanol in northern
