Since yesterday. KJOT - Joliet, IL (Metro Chicago) - Pilot killed. Jefferson, MO (I think) - Regional jet - Pilot and copilot killed. Mirimar, CA - Aerobatic aircraft (practicing for airshow) - Pilot killed. Does anyone have any more info on these?

3 ILS approaches into KJAN with ATC COMS - Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d53XwaE4cZM Ceilings were perfect for more IMC time. FAF of ALLEN is 2200 and ceilings were averaging 1800 give or take so I knew I would be in the middle of the action All en-route portions were timelapsed...

Probably one for AOPA..... Hopefully those that get avionic upgrades that include their nav take this posting to heart.... What happened to me could have turned quite ugly, and fortunately things worked out OK since I am here to post this. Did some ILS approaches over HKS. Perfect day for...

1. Like there are crosswind landings, are there crosswind takeoffs too? If yes, what's the procedure of takeoff? 2. In crosswind landings, it's recommended that one lands on only the upwind wheel. Since this would almost always tilt the upwind wing groundward, would there not be an engine strike?...

Greetings, I just wanted to post 3 auctions of items that my Boss asked me to sell. Thank you for looking ! I guess he was not cut out to be a pilot and has no further use for these. Cessna Private Pilot training course +...

3 very interesting Helicopter Crash Videos on one page. I guess landing is most critical, or is it ? All accidents here happened at the landing. http://www.jumpingpixels.com/helicoptercrash.html

For those who were interested in this - I posted a question about 1-2 weeks back, MS Sim 2004 supports multiple monitors. In general, the biggest performance hit relates to video card memory and performance. Adding windows does affect your PC. For less than $100 - I got tremendous improvement in...

While we were awaiting takeoff clearance at Khartoum recently, an Ilyushin IL76 Syrian Air cargo plane landed. Just prior to touchdown, it kinda flattened out from its nose-down final and clearly did a 3-point landing. I was looking at the plane from my starboard window seat. During flight, I had...

OK, landing judges take your positions. Short finals to landing since May 2008. First video 6 minutes 14 airports http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uQzQt0RtNY Second video 7 1/2 minutes 16 airports http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWdVvYI9teY

Isn't this 30 *minute* reserve rule for day VFR flight a bit odd? Here are 2 examples to illustrate why I say that. In a J3 Cub you are going to go just over 35 miles in those 30 minutes. In an RV-7, you can go 100 miles with that same 30 minutes reserve. If there is a head wind the difference...

It was November of '75 when the SS Edmund Fitzgerald went down without a word, taking 29 sailors to the bottom of Lake Superior. To those of us who grew up on the Great Lakes, it was a terrible thing (even for those of us who had nothing to do with the maritime industry), and the sinking...
