More stories of long FSS hold times and another issue by
Peter R.
This past week I spoke with a CFII out of Michigan who lamented that his and
his students hold times awaiting a live FSS briefer had significantly
increased to between 30 minutes to one hour. Coincidentally both AOPA and
Avweb had articles this week discussing the frustration of long hold...

Headset Microphone Quality by
Marco Leon
So a question out to the group: which headsets have the best microphones?
And the worst?
Although I can't pinpoint the issue, I feel like my Lightspeed Twenty 3G
catches too much background noise and I don't remember my other ones
sounding the same.

Rerouting To Same Route Question by
Marco Leon
So while IFR on the way back to NY from VA, I was rerouted about five times
which was fine with me (the first four were all shortcuts). What was
interesting was the last "reroute." I was just south of the Cedar Lake VOR

PSA: Don't be rude on the radio by
buttman
I had two recent situations where other pilots thought they'd be cool
by being condescending jackasses over the radio, which effected my
ability to teach my student.
The first time was when I was at a local uncontrolled field with one
of my students to introduce solf-field takeoffs and landings....

Hey, all. I'm getting ready for my commercial checkride. I've read the
Jeppeson PTS et al but I'd really like to hear what kinds of things people
have experienced in the oral and practical sections recently; mainly just to

Funny Story on the old Air Port Traffic Area by
Danny Deger
Back before we called it class D, we called the area around a controlled
airport an Airport Traffic Area. It extended for 5 NM (SM?) and up to 3,000
AGL from the tower. Just to confuse matters, 99.9% of controlled air ports
had a region around them that controlled airspace went to the ground. ...

I heard something the other day, probably not all that uncommon, but
that I haven't heard before. I just got a new ICOM handheld for
ultralight flying, and while working on the plane in my front yard I
listened to the radio in scan mode. Picked up an aircraft saying they
were 45 minutes from...

Low performance climbs by
kevmor
When flying a plane that doesn't have a lot of climbing power, is it
quicker to get to your destination if you climb at a slower rate, but
faster speed? Or is it quicker if you climb faster to your altitude?
For example, say I took off at sea level and want to cruise at 6,500.
I don't need to be...
