Would ~ 500 planes depress the U.S. used aircraft market? by
Dave S
IF this happened as described... (implemented fully), it would be a
buyers market.. and there would be a small niche for qualified ferry
pilots running the "plane pipeline"

Phonetic alphabet -- dixie instead of delta? by
Roy Smith
The wikipedia article
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet) on phonetic
alphabets says:
"At some United States airports, the use of Delta for the letter D is
avoided because it is also the callsign for Delta Air Lines. "Dixie"
seems to be the most common substitute."

will this fly? by
Lee Elson
Please excuse the cross post, but the topic might be of interest to
several groups.
I'm wondering whether providing light aircraft transportation services
(people and/or cargo) and consulting to small businesses is likely to
be a successful approach to setting up a very small aviation business.

O-470 cylinders by
RST Engineering
As most of you know, I threw a jug in east BF Wyoming coming home from
Oshkosh last year. I put on an emergency cylinder from a reputable shop,
but the serial number indicated that this replacement jug has been around
for a long, long time.
I'm getting ready for the summer flying season, the...

Is Moller at it again? by
Chris Wells
There's video of a tethered "flying saucer" in flight, with a typically clueless anchorperson describing it. The company building it is in California, and Annie Anchor said they would only fly 10' off the ground, thereby sidestepping FAA clearance & licensing issues. :) I thought I saw the word...

Converting non-US certificate to US by
Roy Smith
I've been asked to investigate, on behalf of some applicants to my
flying club, the procedure to take a non-US pilot certificate to a US
one. I got some good info from AOPA, but if there's anybody who's
actually been through the process and would be willing to share the
experience, I'd appreciate...

Engine on Global Flyer by
Brent
They're saying the Global Flyer's jet engine burns 102 pounds of fuel an
hour. If that kind of fuel weighs in at 6 pounds per gallon, that's
about 17 gallons an hour, or roughly double what I burn in the little
Cherokees I fly. Then again, the jet propelled the Flyer about 2 times
as fast with a...

I've had two of the above fail in under 3 years.
I would guess that the failures are related to adverse voltages

Hello Tom,
Thanks for the tips. I found that when I use the "raw data" it does work as
you say (http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA/sectionals/current/). Is
this what you are using?
But I have trouble when I try to use one of Kyler's "processed images"...
