What the wife notices by Robert M. Gary
I thought this was pretty funny. My non-aviation wife has about 800 hours in the right seat but has never expressed any interest in aviation or the airplane (other than being a good method to get to cool places like the beach or a remote area of Mexico). Last night at dinner she was able to rattle...

What if... by john smith[_2_]
I play mental "What if.." games when I fly, trying to imagine the best way to handle an in-flight emergeny. One of the aircraft I fly is a 1982 Piper Turbo Arrow IV. Nowhere in the POH does it mention the emergency procedure for a turbocharger failure resulting in an oil fed fire in the engine...

Anyone within striking distance of Langley AFB, come see the airshow today or tomorrow (Apr 28, 29). The demonstration performed by the F-22 is absolutely amazing. More on this later. And there are many other great flybys, static displays, etc. Today's schedule is at...

City controlled airspace? by Dallas
I stumbled upon the Aircraft and Airports section of the Dallas City Codes and found a whole new layer of regulations I never knew about. Here's a good one. As a student, I guess I need to call my instructor every time I need to start the engine: SEC. 5-24. ONLY PILOT OR COMPETENT MECHANIC...

Variations in soft field landings by Maxwell
I was taught to lift the flaps immediately upon touch down on soft field landings. My instructors stated getting more weight on the brakes as soon as possible, would facilitate a quicker stop than leaving the flaps down for drag, and loosing some braking power to the extra lift. However, during...

AOPA Mag This Month by Jay Honeck
It's interesting to see AOPA doing a piece on "Flying in Europe", so soon after our long thread on the same topic. Many of their conclusions were the same as ours. Also, strangely enough, there's another article this month on "Flying GA to Memphis", in order to visit Beale Street and all the...

dumb question about Radio comms / opening flight plans by [email protected]
I'm embarrassed to say that I have forgotten something. When I want to open my flight plan, and I look at the frequencies printed above the VOR, it says 122.1R 122.4. Does the 'R' refer to what I need to do or what the Radio operator does? That is, do I send on 122.4 and receive on 122.1, or the...

I took my first light in an LSA (somewhat long) by [email protected]
Last Friday at Sun-n-Fun I wandered around a number of LSA's. I've been reading about them for a couple of years and was curious. The idea of C-172 performance (for your typical $100 hamburger run) and 1/2 the fuel cost or less is really appealing. Several that I sat in were just too small. I'm...

Low flight and wildlife by Mxsmanic
I see on a sectional chart a box that says "The Islands, Rocks, and Reefs along the Pacific Coast-Line from 42°00'N to 46°00'N are National Wildlife Refuges. Low flights may disturb wildlife resulting in a violation of Federal law." Unfortunately, the chart doesn't say what constitutes "low...
