If the place where I work is telling me to work hour's for free, what should I do ? I am worried that working for free is illegal, immoral, unethical, and unprofessional, and I am also worried that it exposes me to the possibility of an IRS audit as I could be accused of getting paid "under the...

Here's a silly question: Is there any way to convert a t-hangar's manually opening bi-fold door to a motorized one? I just rented a t-hangar that uses a circular chain hanging off a large pulley near the top of the hangar to control the door. The chain must be pulled thirty to forty times to...

It was a great tool, even after it got moved over to the new site. aviationtoolbox.org At any rate, it doesn't work anymore, as apparantly Rand McNally changed their site over, so the postion feeds don't work. Does anyone know of a site that provides this same type of info?

Hi folks - I'm somewhat new to flying. I heard references to "forward slip" to get rid of altitude on approach. Can someone give me the 2 sentence (or how ever many is adequate) to what a forward slip procedure is? Thanks! Gary

Seems some guy from Minnesota, Lyle Christansen, is convinced that his brother Kenny was D.B. Cooper. Kenny Christansen is in fact a dead ringer for Cooper, was an army paratrooper, bought a house in Buckley, WA, with cash that he never explained where it came from, and he worked for Northwest...

As I sit on the ground, on a day off, not flying due to (yet more) ice, I thought I'd share these interesting results with the group... Pilots are always surprised when I tell them that Mary and I have traveled the country extensively by light plane for 12 years, all VFR. While it's true that we...

Here's a case of national proportions to watch: FAA CHALLENGES SANTA MONICA JET BAN (http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/bizav/1080-full.html#197507) Despite repeated warnings from the FAA that it has no intention of letting Santa Monica get away with it, the city council there has ...

I am a private pilot without a current medical, but with a valid drivers license. Can I fly under the sport pilot rules, or do I need to apply for a sport pilot certificate? I have never been denied a medical. Danny Deger

Can anyone provide a pointer to some hardware/software usable on a portable computer (Microsoft's CE, or perhaps even XP on a small system) that provides a backup AI solution using "solid state gyros" (accelerometers? altitude heading reference system?). I'm looking for something that I can run on...

Years ago I was leaving Purdue http://www.airnav.com/airport/LAF before the tower opened. (I think I was headed to Hamfest with some friends. I don't usually get airborne that early.) As I taxied to runway 5 I heard the local turboprop commuter (Mesaba, I think) call a taxi to runway 10. I was...

In a Cessna 150, anyone know where I can find replacement fuses? It's Bussman AGS 20 (for 20 amp). Thanks

I used to fly a considerable amount of commercial. I plan to never fly commercial again. Doesn't matter where the problem(s) lies, commercial airline travel sucks big time. Me too - same sentiment. The airlines refuse to adopt SOPs to handle the weather and FAA issues, imho. I went full...

Okay, I've never even had a flying lesson, which may explain it, but yesterday afternoon I stopped by a local airport to watch some planes, and noticed that the tower had them all taking off and landing more *with* the wind than against it. The wind was blowing at around 10-12 mph (around 10 or so...

Yes, really! It took him several phone calls before he could get on his flight. Now, I know that the political leanings of most of you in this group will lead you to think that keeping people like Kennedy off of airplanes and away from Washington is good for the nation. However, if it can...

Since the last one seemed to work pretty well, here's another cross-posted shot at injecting some relevant content into the group. My glider's condition inspection was due last month. When I bought my share, one of the things I did as part of preparing to take ownership of my share was to help...

Last year at SnF I stopped by the Cirrus booth and indicated interest in the Cirrus, leading to an offer of a demo flight. Scheduling problems prevented this from actually happening for over a year, but today the wait paid off. A cold front had come through yesterday, bringing rain, mist, low...
