call to approach. The response that I...

Need A Definition by
Jay Beckman
Hi All...
I came across a term the other day I'm not familiar with...
Back in WWII, when a new plane came off the assembly line, a WAC would take
it up and "Slow Time" it.
What was/is "Slow Timing" an airplane?
Was it for single-engine fighters only, or was this something done to all

Engine failure on takeoff by
Greg Copeland
http://www.faa.gov/avr/aai/evt20040503.htm#60539
If you look at report #6, this happened just recently near me. Seems the
pilot had engine failure during take off and attempted to make it back to
the runway. He didn't make. He didn't miss by far, only shy about
100-yards, or so the news print...

Too late to be a pilot? by
Fuzz
Hi all,
I'm 36 years old and I'm wondering if it would be possible to become a
professional pilot. I've never taken a flight lesson - is it

be cool. Just wonderin'...

VOR name in bold and underlined? by
Mark
I have a question that has been buggin' me for a while.
Why are some VOR names in bold and underlined? For instance, the NABB
vor (north of Louisville KY) and the Dayton vor are in bold and the
name is underlined where as others are not.

17-year cicadas of any concern to aircraft? by
Peter R.
As a relatively newly-certificated pilot (two years ago), I am curious
about the upcoming emergence of the seventeen-year cicada in the northeast
and midwest US later this May.
Are there any hazards to aircraft associated with these insects, either on
the ground or in the air?

"Where" is my destination? by
Ben Jackson
Leaving OAK I called ground and asked for flight following to 7S3
(which I gave by name and spelled phonetically). Later, while I'm
taxiing they come back with "where is that" and I couldn't imagine
how I could help them if the identifier didn't, so I came up with
"near McMinnville", which is both...

This year, at age 13, his feet can comfortably reach the rudder pedals -- so

Can anyone suggest a fly-in campground within, say 500...

I received my private last September, and have rented a Cessna 172 from the

Aviation Truths by
Dave Russell
1. Fresh bugs will come off, but old bugs are a part of your paint
scheme forever.
2. If you fly the airplane the same way you operate an elevator, then
you are an airplane driver and not a pilot.
3. The Wright brothers flew with a stick, not a steering wheel.
