Old, but interesting topic by

He doesn't have to be in the seat next to them.
The fact that it hasn't happened in all these years of aviation makes
it more than just a little unlikely. It's definitely so unlikely it's
silly.

When did FAR 121.587 go into effect? by
[email protected]
Obviously this is more of a commercial piloting question, than a
recreational one, but...
http://www1.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFAR.nsf/CurrentFARPart/9ED2D8079C21577786256B420072FDEF?OpenDocument
states that the effective date was 1/15/2002.

Centerlines on taxiways by
Mxsmanic
My understanding is that you're always supposed to follow the centerline of a
taxiway with your nose wheel. However, I find that in very large aircraft,
such as a 747, doing so allows the rear of the aircraft to very nearly roll
off the taxiway in turns; it seems that I must swing the nose outward...

Aircraft as mobile homes by
Mxsmanic
I was thinking today, first about independent truck drivers, then about those
people who sell (almost) all they own and buy a huge RV. In the case of truck
drivers, they often have expensive, fancy rigs complete with bed, television,
and other amenities that make their trucks a kind of home away...

Aviation in television shows, question.. by
Jim Stewart
Back in the early 60's I remember watching a television
show that featured military jets, test pilots and fighter
missions. It was in black and white and I think it ran
once a week. I was in grade school at the time and never
missed an episode.
I can distinctly remember curled-toed X-2 landings,...

Aviation Medical "Fraud" by
Larry Dighera
How is it that airmen are able to hide their medical conditions from
the licensed medical doctor examining them, but not from Congress?

recommendations on Teterboro (KTEB) by
Kevin Clarke
Hi,
I'm flying into NYC this week and had a couple of questions for folks.
First off, I need to stay overnight, any preference on FBO in terms of
leaving the plane. I know Signature to be top notch. Any others on the
field that are worth working with?
Second, I am going to go in VFR...

What's the pin for? by

What does it mean when the crew of an aircraft look for "the pin" held by the
ground crew after pushback?

A real life pilot's first sim experience by
Tony
The deal is this: I wanted to fly a loop in my M20J for a long time,
but it's hard to get around the 30 degree pitch limitation
certifications and do a loop. isn't it?
MSFS2004 offers an M20M Bravo! And Comp USA is selling that program
for less than $20.
So the four disks came in a couple of days...

Late BFR by
Anonymous coward #673
I fly through an organization that requires a proficiency check ride
every six months. As a result I somehow got it into my head that I
didn't need to worry about BFR's any more. But today my instructor
reminded me that a BFR requires an hour of ground instruction, so
technically I have not...

Next up for Garmin Portables by
Marco Leon
Soon after the GPSMAP 496 came out, there was lots of chatter about what
they will be doing next. It seems their newly-released Marine portables are
providing a hint. http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap525/
