Cessna is developing (very hush hush) their "cirrus killer", new high

wing....
Without debating...

Serengeti Sunglass Parts by
RST Engineering
As luck would have it, I tore the right paddle from its mount on my
Serengeti glasses while loading the airplane for departure. Not a chance I
can get them fixed by tomorrow morning, but when I get back does anybody
know of a good place to get repair parts for Serengetis?

Have you ever... by
Jay Honeck
....refused to fly with someone you felt was not entirely safe? (With that
person acting as PIC, not as a passenger in your own plane.)
I had it happen earlier this year, for the first time, ever, and it felt,
well, weird.
I think I did the right thing, but it's hard to say. That funny...

Club Management Issue by
Geoffrey Barnes
First off, I'm not directly involved in this situation, but I am trying to
gain an understanding on how other FBOs and flying clubs deal with something
like it.
One of our club members was flying our 182 -- which the club leases from the
two gentlemen who own it -- and had what appeared to be an...

Most Visible Color for Aircraft by
[email protected]
Howdy,
I've been looking all over, and I can't seem to find any discussions on the
relative visibility of various colors for aircraft. I would guess that the
best color might be different when viewed against the sky or the ground.
Any pointers will be welcome,

Dangerous Cessna evacuates govt again by
Paul kgyy
True to the rugged pioneer spirit of our great country, DC cowered for
cover again as a Cessna violated the no-fly zone. Fighter jets were
scrambled to deal with this imminent threat to the security of our
nation.

Why airplanes fly by

Fixed-wing aircraft fly because their wings generate lift as they move forward
through the air.

An Olive Branch by
Jay Honeck
Now that it appears that George Bush has been re-elected with a true
majority of the popular vote (the first president to do so in 16 years), let
me be the first to extend an olive branch to those here who may be
disappointed in the results.
What has made America strong, and allowed our democracy...

Why 28V DC? by
Bob Martin
I'm working in the avionics integration test facility at Gulfstream...
one of the engineers had a question for me (being an airplane person
instead of an electrical/computer guy) that I couldn't answer... why
do airplanes use 28V DC systems (or 14V)? He says most industrial
applications use 24V...

Viperdoc[_5_]
Anthony will never admit he's wrong, even though he's asked some of the most
naive and ignorant questions, ones that truly demonstrate his lack of
knowledge and experience.
For the real pilots and students, I suggest joining Pilots of America, a
moderated group. It is what this NG used to be,...

Flying when you know there is something wrong with the plane by
C J Campbell
I can't remember where I read it, but I seem to recall that in the majority
of fatal accidents the pilot knew something was wrong with the airplane
before he even took off. It does seem like a popular trend reading through
the accident databases. But can anyone point me to a study that...

drug/alcohol testing policy: effective? by
gatt
Casual debate he
Something like .1% of the pilots randomly tested for alcohol and drugs (one
was .5%, I believe) tested positive in 2004. That's one in a thousand. As
a result of this percentage, the random test rate will stay at 25% for drugs
and something similar for alcohol.
Meanwhile,...

Rep vs. Dem Differences by

In an on-the-air (*) broadcast, a BBC announcer was trying to explain the
difference between the Republicans and the Democrats to his British audience.
"The Republicans are verry like our ... ahhh ... Conservatives.

Overweight takeoff / flight by
Koopas Ly
Howdy again,
After reading NTSB reports that attribute the cause of the accident to
exceeding the airplane's maximum takeoff weight, I began wondering
about the effects of an overweight takeoff within C.G. limits.
Specifically, what would I have to do differently when flying an
airplane that's...
