The way our politicians rushed to talk about illegal immigration this week, maybe they thought it came with a free lunch. They won't do anything about it, but it will get them some money. The Expert provides the details at: http://www.ExpertHumor.com/

Flight from KMBO to KHKS from wheels up to wheels down time compressed from 25 minutes down to 5 minutes. KJAN approach in this video and you can see how accommodating they are when I ask for a change in my clearance. Also found it interesting they asked me how many SOB. First I have been asked...

Under VMC conditions figure to knock out some approaches. As you can see from the ATC transmissions, it really does pay to make a face to face visit to your local controllers. It really does make it much more "personal" over the radio putting a face to a...

First time for me going down to near ILS minimums by myself. Video includes how I brief my IFR approaches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCk_RRMemnM Video I think does a good job on demonstrating why the runway may not be always exactly in front of you after wind correction angle considerations...

Yesterday's flight.after preflight, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSc5CFbRU_c Did a couple things differently in this video. First, I was able to capture ATC instructions to me by putting COM 2 on the external speaker. My readbacks did not come out. Quality on the audio not the best, but I...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYuQa_UcwZA 2 approaches into Meridian MS first being an ILS approach. View segmented every 10 to 15 seconds from instrument to outside view. Second approach is a visual into KMEI on runway 4 I didn't have my patch cord with me therefore no ATC COMS in this video.

I see this subject was discussed on the list back in '99, but I was wondering what people have been doing lately. I am purchasing a Canadian registered 206 and am importing it into the US. The aircraft just had an annual, but the owner doesn't have insurance on it, so the option of having him fly...

It's been a while since I did much radio work with ATC and was dreading it but found ATC very courteous, helpful, and professional. Those people work in pressure cookers, and yet they manage to be so nice. One thing I noticed. The controllers have widely differing personalilties and...

Hi folks - I just purchased a 1964 172e with a newly overhauled Continental O-300-D engine and was hoping to get some suggestions for improving performance on it. Is this feasible with this engine? I knew buying it that climb performance was quite a bit different than the 150HP Lycoming, but I...

With the increased sophistication of online technologies, industry transition to Internet-style solutions is inevitable. Business-to-business innovations based on the use of the public Internet have expanded horizons, slashed transaction costs and led to spectacular innovation. However, in spite...

Hello community, I have a question I think some of you may be able answer: in most(?) reciprocating engine installations, the left magneto seems to have a impulse coupling, enabling the magneto to produce a spark strong enough for ignition even at low (starter cranking) RPM's. The question: does...

Is there any way to tell if my plane is currently painted in Imron? One paint shop I'm considering won't touch it if it is. The log entry doesn't say. The previous owner had put some clear packing tape over the wing root vents for winter flying, and when I peeled the stuff off it took paint with...

A year or so ago I bought audio headphones from Sony (Fontopia) that impressed me greatly with their small size and audio quality. Furthermore, they block out most external sound. So I got to thinking about whether something like this would be a good alternative to heavy and uncomfortable headsets...

Well, it happended. I have owned the plane (Piper Turbo Arrow III) for 3 months and the engine failed during climb out on Tuesday. Altitude was 4400 feet. Luckily, the engine did not entirely quit and I made it to an airport within 10 miles. TBO was 1000 hours away. Dissapointing! When we cut...

With the proliferation of commercial in-flight internet solutions (such as GoGo Inflight, http://www.gogoinflight.com/), does anyone know if similar solutions are being offered for GA? My wife would love to be able to surf the net while we're flying XC in our Saratoga, but I haven't been able to...

Does anyone have this setup where the 396/496 (particularly the 496) is in their panel hooked up through an RS232 cable to a 430 or 530? I saw a post by Mikem with very good specifics on the pin-outs but I have a couple of questions: 1) Does the 496 pick up the inputted flight plan/route from...
