I was coming in to land on RWY 4 at ROC. There was a North West MD80 at the hold short line. Almost as soon as my mains touched down, before I'd slowed down, the tower controller cleared the North West flight to take off. I came back with "977 is still on the runway on runway 4", with a rather...

I am looking for some aircraft data for a 1978 Cessna R182. I am going to take my Commercial checkride in about 3 weeks and want to have the data in my Flightsoft program. I was going to purchase a POH, but the cheapest I have found online was $88! I am looking specifically for Takeoff/landing...

How does the NTSB go about researching GA accidents? Specifically, how do they decide *when* they're going to do the investigation, and when (or if) they are going to release information? Our friend Blaine Andersen was killed in a crash near Grinnell, IA last winter. See the preliminary report...

Woke up this morning and just didn't want to go to work. :-) So I did the next best logical thing, I went to the airport and went flying. Picked up a friend (non-pilot) at Nashua and did some slow flight around his house so he could talk some pics. Around Mt. Monadnock in S. New Hampshire and...

The Cessna 150 prototype first flew on September 12, 1957 (source:wikipedia). With so many pilots having had thier training in a C150 or 152, I think it's fair to remark on the fact that the 150 turns 50 Years young today. Will it still be flying in another 50?

Gang, Here's a link to one of the most stupid ideas coming out of the Department Of Homeland Security: http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/196127-1.html I would sure like to find out who is smoking what. Rick

Be sure to click on the attachment below. Subject: Fw: 1929 Ford Tri-Motor For Sale! I would by it, but am short cash! Flew in one at LaGuardia in 1958. Took off at 50MPH and top speed 110. ----- Original Message -----

Hello Everyone, I am interested to know if anyone has any information on flight training in India. I have done a little "googleing", and of course there is training available. What I= am wondering is if anyone here has any understanding of the cost vis-a-vis instruction in the U.S. If the...

Unless I'm missing something, the new Ikonos imagery for Google Earth doesn't cover much. It looks like a rectangular block of new imagery that is roughly 50 miles tall by 30 miles wide (with an additional 15 mile x 15 mile block adjacent to the bottom of its SW corner). The Flying M Ranch...

After reading a couple of posts lately about fellow pilots losing their medicals or grounding themselves, I thought I'd throw this out there to chew on. I recently had a round with my local Dr., AME and a neurologist. I have been cleared to fly after experiencing "light headedness" along with...

I expect to be near Ft. Worth, TX (close to Lakeworth) in early October and would like to rent a plane for a couple of days to make a 300 nmi trip (each way) to KBEA. I require only two seats, but would prefer IFR and 115 KTAS or faster, so that probably means 180 hp or greater. I have 1500...

Hello everyone. I've been hanging out in the MS Flight Simulator group for a while, enjoying my recently found interest in aviation such that my means would allow. MSFS is a fine product, even though it doesn't compare to the real thing, of course. Yesterday for my 40th birthday my most excellent...

If this reposts, my apologies, seems that Google expired my original message and I don't even know if it got out....... I haven't got that many digests of late??????? Noise level is down????? Is there hope?????? Not sure if anybody has checked in as of late on my You Tube channel, but if you...

Hello, does anyone know when the Thermawing problem that is affecting the Columbias is likely to get fixed? I was surprised not to see much about it on the web, besides the Airworthiness Directive to disable it. Arno

We were flying into Prairie du Chien, WI (PDC) today, for brunch at the casino after picking up our son's girlfriend in Davenport, IA (DVN) for her very first airplane ride, ever, and I was taxiing out for departure, when PDC's AWOS reported this somewhat bizarre wind reading. That's a new record...

2 reports on the evening news today (Boston area) on small plane crashes. A C172M crashed at Mansfield, Ma. 4 people on board, 2 fatalities. This was on Saturday, a day that produced record high temperatures for the area. Density altitude/overloading problem? Then we had a C150 emergency land...
