Hi all, After a short local flight, I landed on 4L at HNL and forgot to hold short of 4R. After I made the right turn on taxiway Echo from 4L, the tower (sensing that I was taxiing a bit fast) tells me, in a rather calm voice, "hold short of 4R!". By that time, I had already crossed the 4R hold...

http://www2.faa.gov/avr/FlightPlan/page1516.cfm I find it interesting one of their bullet points for reducing fatals in GA is: "Develop policies, procedures, and approval processes to enable operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)." I guess they had to slip the spy planes in there...

Does anyone have any information on this accident? The FAA database says something happened on November 8.

Hello community, if you would have to choose, which pilot (or aviation related) magazine would you choose? Flying? Plane & Pilot? Prite Pilot? Or any other? Or do you think subscribing to a mag is completely nonsense? Thanks in advance for your reply. Regards

Saw a helicopter over the week end with the following registration. 5N-RAA When I tried to look this up in the FAA data base is states that you can not register aircraft with more than 2 alpha characters. If so, could this be some sort of government aircraft. I do seem to rememebr seeing some...

I ran into an old client today and we stumbled on to the flying topic. Turns out he got his PP a couple years ago and bought a plane. He said with a completely straight face that he's thinking of getting an instrument rating because he "flies in IMC a lot." He does OK but would like to be able to...

From a TV news broadcast: It appears that forest fires have forced the evacuation of SoCal TRACON and Montgomery Field Tower. LA Center is handling LAX traffic.

"Never cross control!!!" "Keep that ball centered!" "Never use more than 20 degrees bank!" "Too high on final - go around. Never slip unless its an emergency landing."
