Wheelbarrowing and Flare by
Ramapriya
Has anyone seen wheelbarrowing occur? Prima facie, it appears too
improbable (ludicrous almost) a thing to happen but even the FAA
Airplane Flying Handbook copy that I have mentions it!
Also, while the ways of performing a flare is mentioned at many places,
the reason for a flare is conspicuously...

What is Southwest airlines Nuts ? by
iflyatiger
Why in the world would they let us see what goes on at that airline on the
show AIRLINE
on A&E Mondays at 8:00pm eastern.
They overbook and strand passengers and families headed for vacations booked
months in advance.
Remove paying passengers from the plane to accommodate deadheading crew.

1st Flight in a G-1000 182 by
Bartscher
Just got my first flight in a G-1000 equipped 182 yesterday. After spending 1.5
hours on the ground a few days earlier, going through the avionics modes, I
went for a 1.4hr flight yesterday. The capabilities of the G-1000 are very
impressive, but there is a lot to learn.
The weirdest things for me...

About indentifiers.... by
Casey Wilson
Please, folks. Some, I'd wager most, of us just don't have
encyclopedic memory. When you use an airport identifier, please include the
name of the airport, or the nearest town.

medical for student pilot purposes only?? by
Robert M. Gary
I was looking on registry.faa.gov at one of the old guys around here
that used to give a lot of instruction. I haven't seen him around in a
little while. I went to look him up to see if he has a medical. The FAA
shows he has a medical but it says...
"VALID FOR STUDENT PILOT PURPOSES ONLY."

Winter Flying by
[email protected]
Since we are well into winter and snow and ice, how are you coping with
it? What are you doing to pick out XC checkpoints now that the ground
is covered with snow and everything looks different? How are you going
to handle taxiing on slick or ice covered taxiways and runways? Have
you ever...

Genealogy of Piper Aircraft by
Mike Granby
Our FBO has a poster on the wall entitled "A Genealogy of Piper
Aircraft" or something similar. It shows the various lines of aircraft
(PA-28, PA-32 etc) and the various models in that line. I've been
trying to find a copy without success. While a quick trip to the color
photocopies with the FBO's...

filling Oxygen tanks by
Bruce McFadden
Santa's wife has decided that she would prefer that I fly with oxygen
even below 12.5K and especially at night. So I've been given a tank et
al. I was shocked today when I had it filled at Merucry Air. It is a
415 L size D tank. Because the pressure in their filling tanks were a
bit low, they...

Chartering a jet for a round-trip "run" by
[email protected]
There are a number of us living in the same metropolitan area who go to
the same large college about 400-plus miles away, with no direct
airline service between the cities. There are about 10 of us, give or
take. I am thinking this *might* be a sizable enough group to
potentially charter a jet from...

Canadian Licence Question by

I am planning on doing my Private Pilot Licence but have a quick

Updated navigation log by

Hi,
I have updated my navigation log spreadsheet to include pilot info, and
pilot log entries. Consider it a cheap version of electronic backup.
You can store your pilot log information in it, and backup the excel
file.
I will be adding some charts to show usage and distribution information

New England Cherokee 140 Rental by

A quick question... is there anyplace in New England that has a Cherokee 140
on the line for rental/instruction? A partner and I are in the process of
looking at airplanes to buy, and the 140 seems pretty good. But, he's never
flown one (primary a high-wing type), and wants to try one before...

Folks,
Has anyone piloted a YAK-40 earlier? Or known anyone who has used it
for a decent length of time?
Just needed feedback on its performance, reliability and durability.
Like I said in another thread, there's one in disuse here in Khartoum
that I've heard is up for sale real cheap.

Comments on AvMap EKP-IV by
Hans-Christian Prytz
Hi folks,
I was looking around recently and found this:

Looks like an improved version of the EKP-IIIc.
Has anyone tested this (or the IIIc for that matter)?
Comments, is it as good as it seems?
