Hi all, I'm new to this forum, and hope I'm in the right place to ask these questions. At 45, I've finally decided to follow my lifelong dream of flying. I guess my first concern is, am I too old. I don't want to be a airline pilot, but cessnas or flying instructor would be nice, so long as I...

Hey all, Cool site! Wasn't sure if this was the appropriate sub-forum to post in, but I'm trying to develop a cafepress.com shop where people can buy gift items (mugs, t-shirts, coasters, etc) with navigational symbols printed on them. So far I've only got gifts with a Vor/DME symbol, but I think...

They're saying the Global Flyer's jet engine burns 102 pounds of fuel an hour. If that kind of fuel weighs in at 6 pounds per gallon, that's about 17 gallons an hour, or roughly double what I burn in the little Cherokees I fly. Then again, the jet propelled the Flyer about 2 times as fast with a...

I am not an aviator, but I have what hopefully is not a stupid question. I am a restoring a '80 Triumph Spitfire roadster and would like to add a Supermarine Spitfire gauge to the dash. I found a Slip (balance) and Turn indicator in ebay, but not knowing enough about them I was wondering if it...

Hi. Given: MH=315, MB=190 calculate the approximate heading to intercept the 180 bearing TO the station. The answer is 220. I don't know how to arrive at this answer. MH+RB=MB did not help.

I've posted lots of messages about how much my wife and I appreciate our Bose headsets, followed by several about how my wife's headset became unusable after an upgrade (and a couple of attempts to fix it). Now I get to go back to praising Bose. I just got off the phone with Joe Tesini of Bose...

Hmmm. It’s way too early to know what caused the SFO crash on 28L today. But..I suspect (ILS was out on 28L) that he got way too low too soon, got within 50’ of the surface, had autothrottles on which pulled the throttles to idle and the pilot let that happen but rotated to get to the...

I received my private pilot's license in 2006 while I was in college and have logged only 100 hours. Money has been tight, even with a full-time teaching career. Any ideas as to how I could get back flying again while keeping the costs relatively low? Man, I picked an expensive hobby!

Congratulations all of this rare event that happens once in a hundred years!

Hi, I have not been able to find the answer to this question just from Googling the words / terms, so I signed up here to ask directly. I've noticed in some general aviation aircraft, like the Beech Baron for instance, there is a small, square area in the center of the front windshield. What is...
