I'm considering taking up flying as a hobby. It's something I've been wanting to do since I was a kid. The ultimate goal is to learn how to fly lear jets or should I say private light jets. What flight training classes would I have to take and how many hrs would I have to perform. I can pretty much...

What do people here think of Aviation Consumer? I was considering subscribing to help me "keep up" in the product space. But some recent articles lacked details which I view as significant, and that leads me to question the periodical. That's a very small data sample, though, so I'm eager to...

From today's edition of an electronic Aviation Newsletter (AvFlash): Pilots Battle Computer For Control Of 777 Stanley Kubrick couldn't have scripted anything more eerie than the real-life odyssey of a Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 that seemed hell-bent on crashing itself on a trip from Perth to...

so, as usual before retiring to bed, I am going through the scriptures, i.e., 14 CFR, and tonight I was perusing chapter 61 -- which I am sure is on everyone's bed stand -- and came across a part that I haven't fully memorized yet :-) This is part 61.31(j)(2). Part 61.31 covers those...

Our CAP unit is going to be receiving a new C-182 with a glass cockpit. In order to give us a taste of it a Cirrus owner came to our CAP meeting and showed us his wonderful aircraft (not the same PDF/MFD but close). I've heard from many sources that it takes about 10 hours to transition. In fact a...

A neighbor, who is UAL (ret) asked me to circulate this one. They make some pretty good points, as the UAL people currently stand to get reamed pretty badly. ***************** Due to the bankruptcies of Delta and Northwest there is a very strong call in Washington for immediate pension relief.*...

Hello folks, I will be in Paris in about a fortnights time and was hoping that I could hire an aircraft to do some private flying. Somewhere to the north or northeast in preference. The license side I have already sorted out. I have found a few aeroclubs in the area which seem to be OK, but...

The plane I usually rent is probably going to be sold relatively soon. I will miss the Garmin 430 since most of the planes left in the fleet available to me do not have a GPS at all. So I am looking at the Lowrance Airmap 1000 as a portable alternative, but for the life of me, can't find a single...

What reg is it that restricts CAP to a min of 60hp/person? Is this national or Ca wing?

I took my first form 5 last night. Since I was doing CAP-instructor, Cadet Orientation, Instrument, it took a bit of time. My understanding is that you must do all 3 of these every year. How long does a typical annual form 5 take if you do all these? It seems that most in our squadron skip all this...

Opinions, please! (No one on Usenet has any of *those*, right? :-) We're considering putting together a combo deal with a couple of other local airport businesses, along the following lines: 1. Come to Iowa City and stay the weekend in one of our aviation themed jacuzzi suites... 2. While you're...

I have a need to get some close-up images of knobs and/or control panels of aircraft to create my own rendering of a panel. I'd like to overlay different knob types to get a feel of how it will look. Can anyone point me to a source or have any help they can offer?

Hello Everyone, In March this year I was planning my first long x-country trip in the US. I wanted to fly in Cessna 172 a cost-to-coast trip from California to Florida and back. During the preparations I found invaluable information available on various web pages prepared by other fellow pilots...
