A little while ago I started a thread about why a Cessna landing peformance chart showed a climb wt limit that was pressure altitude rather than density altitude dependant. Well now I am similarly confused by a different performance table ( not a chart this time) which shows the take off distance...

What are cowl flaps for, and how are they used? The name implies that they are some sort of aerodynamic control surface, but they don't appear to have any aerodynamic effects. In simulation, they are doors on the bottom of the engine nacelles that open for some unclear purpose (I see what looks...

In a typical small GA aircraft, do the controls have a natural tendency to return exactly to their neutral positions when you aren't holding them and when you are on the ground? Do they have a tendency to return to exactly neutral in flight if you release them in level flight? The reason I ask is...

Where can I find information about passes in the rockies to use when flying over them? John

It was the 3rd leg of an Angel Flight and I wasn't even supposed to be flying it. I'd already flown the second leg from Natchez, MS to Monroeville, AL, but the 3rd leg pilot had mysteriously failed to show--no call, no nothin'. It was late, I was tired and I was mad. I had two pax aboard. We...

I'll probably need an airport tour to answer this to my satisfaction, but I thought it merited a discussion here anyway. It seems pretty standard that, after an airplane is refueled, you wait 10-15 minutes and resample the fuel to check for contaminants (water). I recently witnessed a situation...

Several unheard of things occurred Wednesday. We had: - 2 days off from the hotel - both kids off school - widespread VFR weather forecast to last 2 days -- in December When strange things like this happen, you don't question them, and you don't ever pass them by. No sir, you seize upon them...

How do the rest of you deal with careless linemen? The kind who scratch your airplane or chip the paint because they are either careless or have not been properly trained on how to avoid damaging aircraft when refueling 'em. Case in point - this afternoon I stopped by the airport to prep for a...

I toured the new state of the art tower at Addison airport last week and was struck by all the security measures they employed. The entire complex and parking lot was surrounded by a dense wrought iron fence with a nasty "fish hook" shaped sharp pointed curve at the top. An intercom opened the...

.... when using pressure pattern nav techniques, what's a standard way for working out groundspeed for flight planning purposes? Do you take the forecast curved route and divide it up into segments and average it out? TIA

Looking to buy a protable/backup transceiver. Any recommendations?

Here is a link to story about landing on the freeway http://www.ecmpostreview.com/2005/October/26cessna.html My question is what do most people think about landing on a freeway?

When HOLD SHORT sounds like CLEARED TO CROSS THE ACTIVE. There comes a time for ALL good airmen to evaluate the impact senescence is making on their cognition and thus, their flying skills ... The alterative is leaving a legacy of death and destruction, not to mention the grief and sorrow...
