I'd like to find out more about this. Do you have a reference to an official article? "Roger Long" wrote in message ... Say, this really looks to be for real. AOPA just advised me not to stay ...

Hi all, I had an eye test a few years ago (about 10), it confirmed that I'm red/green colour blind. Which I don't understand as I CAN see red and green. Anyway, this news destroyed my life long ambition of becoming a pilot. Not all was lost though, I developed an interest in PC flight simulators...

The other day, I had an air traffic situation I wanted to bounce off of the group. Those of you who don't know me, I'm a Center controller down here in Atlanta. Here's the deal. I was working a Center departure sector mixing Atlanta terminal departures of every ilk and kin with enroute...

I overnighted at CRQ on Friday, and used Western Flight for FBO services. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they offer complimentary WiFi Internet access to their customers. Details are posted right on the counter. Just passing the info along. I wish more FBO's offered this service. The...

One of the goals of getting my pilot license was to be able to go places with my wife and kids. Frankly, I'm tired of driving, I love to fly, and it makes getting places faster and a lot more fun. My wife still had some reservations about flying with me, however. I don't blame her; sometimes I'm...

If you are planning to invest in an installed system then I agree the WSI system is the best at this point. It is a "transmission" rather than "request" system so therefore you can get continually updated weather data. Even more importantly, WSI is an extremely well-established entity in...

The pilot in this article http://www.thesunlink.com/redesign/2003-08-30/local/244886.shtml is not me. Please do not send me any more copies of it. -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

Three weeks ago I sent the FAA two bucks and now I have my new super cool centennial certificate. For whoever asked about them earlier, there is a strip on the back like on credit cards for the airman's signature. Here's my dilemma: I want to keep it but I will be taking more checkrides. Say I...

Be aware, I just received an email purporting to be from AVweb with the subject "AVflash 8.51a". It had an attachment, "Sim1.fpr.scr", that was infected with the Bugbear worm. The relevant headers are included below. General advice: Be very aware of email-borne worms/viruses and **NEVER** launch...

My wife and I have written up the story of our recent trip in our Mooney from Boise, ID to Boston, MA and back. We can't wait to do another trip like that again. Hope you enjoy the write up. http://pfactor.com/trips/boston Phil

Hi everyone, Hilton Software has spent over a year developing WingX. Earlier this week, we announced general availability of the product. "WingX is a Microsoft Pocket PC application designed by pilots for pilots. WingX was designed from the ground up using the latest .NET technology...

I have had the opportunity to test out the new XMRadio Satellite Weather system (www.wxworx.com) enroute to Oshkosh... The unit is a demo unit which has been somewhat delayed from the initial planned production date of July 1 -- I am planning a Forums talk Wednesday 7/30 at Oshkosh on portable...

The particular O-320 in our 172N is the sweetest running aircraft engine I have ever known. We maintain it rigorously and proactively and lean aggressively for all ground operations. I have not had to clear a mag once in the 880 hours since it was installed. I flew the plane the day before...

RI appears to be back pedaling fast. The state sent a letter to AOPA today saying that it was clumsy wording and the provision was never intended to apply to residents of other states. It was intended to "help" state residents by letting them buy an airplane that the kept and used out of state...

I have two pairs. They work great. My kids just outgrew them. Make a real offer on them (enough to warrant me packaging them up and shipping them) and they will probably be yours. Kevin Chandler Dayton, Ohio

Does anyone know if the Air Canada shuttle bus that takes people from the Royal York to the Island Airport checks your tickets? I'm renting from one of the FBOs on the island tomorrow and need to get there straight from Union, and it may be better to take that Air Canada shuttle than doing...
