The TSA has changed the wording in it's regs to reflect reality. Once in a while a smart person infiltrates Washington DC. I hope they don't catch the perp. After 9/11, any operator with aircraft of 12,500 pounds or more had to comply with a burdensome security program. Many, many aircraft have a...

So what is your understanding of a Dutch Roll? It is interesting to me the various understandings of this manuever, how it is performed and its origins. I've got my own that I was taught by a CFI over 45 years ago and have taught to virtually every student I've had over the years,...

Hey all, Like it says on Jays site I'm trying to land at all 50 states by age 40. A few days ago I finished a 4,800nm trip that leaves me with just 4 to go. Logged 44.6 hours and 32 touch&go's/landings, maybe you've been to or are familiar with some of them: LRJ-Lemars, IA / MJQ-Jackson, MN /...

A few years ago, I remember the FAA saying that primary radar would be eventually phased out at many enroute radar sites. AOPA was opposed to this. A number of beacon only radar sites are in place today, and they would become more prevalent. In the wake of terrorism concerns, is this proposal...

I'm planning to on making a trip from Long Island Sound to Puget Sound (and back) later this year. We're expecting to do a side trip enroute to Winnipeg and/or Edmonton. Any suggestions on routing across the mountains to Spokane? From there, I can just take the I-90 across Snoqualmie...

I was listening to NPR coverage of the 9/11 recap meetings the other day. One of the senior military people there went on record that "nobody is arguing anymore that the Washington ADIZ isn't necessary." He regards this as a good thing. George Patterson None of us is as dumb as all of us.

Going to Toronto and Niagra Falls with my daughter on vacation in late July. Was thinking about finding a local airport that might rent a plane (guessing an instructor would have to tag along) for a couple hours for some sightseeing. Anyone done any flying in this area and can reccomend someone...

I realize that I should have posted this yesterday, but there is still 6 hours left to get an email postmark in time. Today is the last day to pay for the UW-O dorm rooms in full for those of us with reservations. Midnight Central time. Jim Jim Weir (A&P/IA, CFI, & other good alphabet...

I'm flying in for a meeting and didn't see any obvious choices. Just need the usual rental car, fuel, etc. I did see and read about about the serious noise restrictions.

Hello Chuck

I'm thinking of taking myself and three others (littlish people) to Bishop next weekend in a Cherokee 180. I've limited mountain flying experience, but have had an intructor checkout for it and have read a few books on the subject. My assessment is that the aircraft's service ceiling (13,700,...

There seems to be a discrepancy between glider landing patterns and power landing patterns. There is a discussion on the soaring news group about our 30-45 degree turns vs the power shallow banked turns. The reason for our bank angle is because we fly close-in/tight patterns. I can’t provide...

Depression and despair rule the roost tonight in Iowa City. After all the meetings attended, and all the editorials rebutted, and all the interviews granted, and all the letters written -- our City Council called a sudden, surprise joint meeting with our Airport Commission tonight, and announced...
