Anyone knows why the barometric pressure has a much larger swing in Pacific Northwest (Seattle) than in New Jersey area? I remember back in the days when I was flying in NYC area a low pressure day would have an altermeter setting of something like 2980, and a high pressue day would be something...

Is there anybody else listening to the Pilotcast podcast? If so, do you also have a problem with your podcast downloader re-downloading old episodes? If so, are you using iTunes or some other podcast downloader? It's the only podcast of the two dozen or so I subscribe to that has this problem, so...

Hi! Just trying all my options in trying to see if anyone has seen One Six Right, a movie about general aviation...? My classmates keep talking about it and I'm curious if it's as good as they say...anyone seen it? Jen Student Pilot

Anyone knows how can I adjust the CDI needle of VOR with an old ARC's RT385A? Nobody has a manual of RT385A around me and I could not find the information on the net. Thank you,

I've finally located the manuals at http://www.pilotmall.com/page/1/PROD/26/17390 Mary and I own (and LOVE) the AvMap EKP-IIIC, the predecessor to the EKP-IV. We played with the IV extensively at OSH this year, and I fell in love with it. It's smaller, thinner -- yet still has a BIGGER,...

The potential for icing is based on the amount of supercooling more than the theoretical or actual skin temp. It seems doubtfulthat the skin heats up as much as would be predicted if the air has droplets in it that are actually impacting the surface. These two things combined with the fact that...

I submitted a form for some information from the FAA awhile back. As I recall, I received a response only by telephone. Today I received some spam ("Cialis - No prescription needed!") to the address I gave in that form. Tough to tell exactly what happened but I'm curious if anyone else has...

Does anyone here know of any surviving example(s), airworthy or not, of the 1929 Heath Baby Bullet? Juan

Nice old Cessna 170: http://images.traderonline.com/img/2/dealer/3028490/60018712_3.jpg But.... What caught my eye was the creative support for the roof rafters. I think there's a cable running the span length. It's probably plenty strong enough but it looks a little unconventional. I got a kick...

A while back I posted a question regarding how to approach studying for the private certificate. Thanks to all who responded. I've been methodically planning out my long term and short term vision of how to go about my training. Now that I have been digging into the web and my Sporty's "What You...

How can I find out if an USAIR flight out of Miami heading to Philadelphia was diverted to North Carlina due to a passenger health emergency...January 10, 05

A friend brought up an interesting question. If a plane is big enough to support onboard weather radar, and also has the XM satellite weather link from ground Doppler radar, is it possible to integrate the two sources into a single display? Related question: If you could choose only onboard radar...

I was flying around in a '64 Aztec yesterday, and did some touch and goes, and on one downwind, dropped the gear, and did not get a right main gear down indicator light. I tried switching lightbulbs, etc. I had full hydraulics, as the flaps worked fine. I tried cycling the gear a few...

I had a very strange experience on a flight from HPN (White Plains, NY) to BID (Block Island, RI) this morning. We were in an Arrow equipped with: GPS: Apollo GX-50 Nav/Com 1: Apollo SL-30 Nav/Com (slaved to the GX-50) Nav/Com 2: King KX-155 Nav/Com plus some other stuff whose exact model...

I've thought about the possibilities of using GPS and air data along with a well-stocked GIS to advise a pilot of the better places to ditch. Using aircraft performance, wind, and terrain elevation data, it would be fairly easy to determine the areas that could be reached if power was lost. The...

I'm going to be re-doing the panel in my old Bonanza and would like to get rid of the gauge cluster i currently have and replace it with something that can fit in a standard instrument hole. The cluster takes up a lot of real estate. I need fuel pressure, oil pressure, ammeter and fuel gauge in...
