An AP article that starts out
"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The federal government has taken billions of
dollars from the taxes and fees paid by airline passengers every time
they fly and awarded it to small airports used mainly by private
pilots and globe-trotting corporate executives." gives a very...

The Worst Aviation Movie of All Time by
Jay Honeck
We often talk about the BEST aviation movie here, but how 'bout the
worst?
Having spent nearly a year of my life showing aviation movies every
Tuesday night in our theater at the hotel, I am in a somewhat unique
position to comment on this. I've seen over 50 aviation movies in a
row, and can lend...

Temporarily deviating from IFR by
Mxsmanic
You're flying happily over the desert in your small plane, in bright, clear
weather, on your IFR flight plan. You notice a plume of smoke a short
distance away at your nine o'clock, and looking more carefully, you see what
looks like a stranded car with some people standing around it. You'd like...

Uses for a stopwatch by
Mxsmanic
How many uses are there for a stopwatch or similar device aboard an aircraft?
I note that a clock with an elapsed-time function is required equipment. The
only time I've had occasion to use it is for holding patterns. What other
uses are there?

Methods for altitude changes by
Mxsmanic
Suppose you're in your small aircraft and you want to climb from 4000 to 6000,
or descend from 6000 to 4000. What method do you use? I can think of
several, but I don't know which is best/recommended.
For example, to climb from 4000 to 6000, I can just ease the yoke back and
climb. When I get...

Another Northwest pilot in trouble by

Lately they've been giving aviation a bad name. At least he wasn't snorting
cocaine in the cockpit. See

IFR in uncontroller airspace by
Danny Deger
Has anyone out there ever flown IFR in uncontrolled airspace without a
flight plan. I understand there are places out west that still have large
tracts of uncontrolled airspace that go up to altitude (14,500 feet??).
I am used to it either ending at 700 or 1200 feet AGL.

Oral exam place and questions by
Mxsmanic
I've been reading about oral exams for a private pilot license (in the U.S.),
and two questions have come to mind.
Where does this exam take place? Is it in a classroom, or in a testing
center, or is it actually in the aircraft?
When you are asked math-type questions, are you expected to answer...

Fly Safely.... by
muff528
Y'all be careful if you're flying to SnF. There's already been an accident
here and since the weather
is great (and expected to get better) there will likely be a lot of traffic.
My condolences to the families.
Blue'ns, TP

Close to solo by
Jon[_2_]
Now have 12.7 hours logged and doing lots of touch and go landings. My
CFI is still working at my cross wind landings before he lets me go
solo. One thing he has me doing on nearly every flight is to bank and
keep the nose going straight and hold altitude too. Said its for cross
wind landings...

ATC question by

A question for Stephen, Newps or other folks knowledgeable in the finer
points of ATC. A friend of mine flew into Reading, PA last week with
another pilot. Since Reading is a class D airport with no TRSA, but
with radar approach control, they elected to simply call tower directly

NGA US navigational data at risk? by
Doug Vetter
Has anyone seen the notice on the NGA website that the USFIF (raw
aviation waypoint data for the US) will be discontinued in October of 2007?
They tried to kill DAFIF as a whole last year but eventually succumbed
to pressure from the industry to allow US territorial data to remain
available. ...
