Is the Hudson River corridor available to be flown now or has it been closed again with this "orange" thing? BA have a sale on at the moment, £199 to NY, so I'm thinking of booking my trip again. Paul

Is there a way to ACCURATELY measure the available fuel in the tanks of a general single-engine piston aircraft??? I know there are fuel flow computers available (such as JPI?). But these typically need to be "set" with a starting fuel quantity, and then it accurately measures the fuel flow rate...

Hi As with a lot of FBO's one of my favorites has also gone out of business. He had a few items which I wanted at very good prices however I had to buy a few other items which I really didn't need. So I'm selling what I don't want, ALL items are new in the box with original manufactures...

So I guess I can let Jeremiah go home for awhile. My airplane will be safe without him on 24 hour guard because the terror alert is only yellow. The rain was getting to his rheumatism, anyway, and it was beginning to rust that old musket and bayonet he used in the War for American...

This sensible essay appears in today's Wall Street Journal: January 7, 2004 Business World Air Security Lies In Deterrence, Not Nuggets By HOLMAN W. JENKINS JR. That information and intelligence are two different things was amply

For those of you interested in air shows, both military and civilian, , and whose interest goes WAY beyond the norm and into the very guts of the subject; I'd like to announce that the consummate book on this subject "Zero Error Margin; Airshow Display Flying Analyzed " has just been released...

"Some flights to the US could be grounded after the airline pilots' union called on its members not to fly with armed sky marshals on board." "Airline pilots should not take off with marshals on board, the British Airline Pilots' Association (Balpa) has said." "Capt Granshaw defended pilots'...

I hadn't heard anything about this and was surprised when someone asked if I had. My condolences to the families and friends, a tragic accident. http://ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20031231X02110 Seems like with 5 souls that they were probably heading out for a buffalo burger and a visit to...

I'm planning on doing a trip from central Canada down to Las Vegas in a C172R. Does anyone have some experience on where a good point to transition the US rockies is? Somewhere around SLC is my guess. I have no mountain experience which causes me the greatest concern. Any help...

Would one of you computer aces explain why, after I have posted a message in a newsgroup, I can see the replies but cannot see my post? Outlook Express, and I don't think I have changed any settings (on purpose, that is....who knows what I may have done by accident). Bob Gardner

I was browsing through the Contents page on my Summit Aviation CD and ran across the Accident Prevention Publications....as I read down the list of titles, I could tie many of them to recent posts in the rec.aviation newsgroups I visit. For example: Stepping Up to Your Complex...

The Puget Sound and Hermiston TFRs were rescinded at 11:49 1/9/04 and replaced with National Security Areas, possibly as a prelude to permanent publication. Jeppesen Flitestar is still showing the old TFRs, however, and since the Jepp engine is the one that the FAA and AOPA use on their web sites I...

I was checking local weather and saw this PIREP from Duats: Denver CO : pilot report at Denver at 8:07am MST (1507Z), at flight level 430 a Piper J-5 Cub Cruiser(L-14, Ae) reported temperature -5B0C, wind 294/062 I'd like to see the STC that gives this cub the ability to get up to FL430! Isn't...

As an update, you may recall I had to send my A5 back to Icom for repair (the battery would not recharge). They have since returned it to me and said the only thing wrong was the battery was bad and they gave me a new one. The new battery was charged when it came back. I have since discharged...
