Multi-Engine Before Commercial? by David B. Cole
My original plan was to finish the instrument rating and then do some additional aerobatic training and a tailwheel endorsement before starting the commercial. But for some reason, as I approach the end of the instrument training, I've had an interest in doing the multi. I know that I wouldn't be...

wanted: hangar door tips by Joa
Our EAA chapter had a 40' hangar door that split in the middle and folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with large steel pins that dropped...

Sun N Fun by Jay Honeck
We just got back last evening, after a beautiful, weather-free flight home from Florida. Flight time to Sun N Fun a week ago was just 6 hours -- but it took us three days to get there! We ran into this little problem with SNOW in Nashville, where we ended up seeing a lot more of the Grand Ole...

Presidential TFR Buffalo, NY 4/20 by Buff5200
Just found out President "W" is coming to Buffalo, NY next Tuesday 4/20. No further details yet. Now two questions: First, do presidential TFR's automatically include Canadian airspace? Bush may be visiting within a couple hundred yards of the Canadian boarder/airspace.

Gyros - Electric vs Vacuum? by Bill Denton
I have noticed that American Champion offers three different panel "types" on the Super Decathlon: No gyro instruments. Vacuum gyro instruments. Electric gyro instruments. I have read that aerobatic work is extremely hard on vacuum gyro

Cirrus' "Failing Instruments In Rapid Succession" by Marco Leon
Sure the chute worked as advertised. Great. What irks me is how and why the aircraft experienced all these instrument failures one right after another. If any of our Pipers/Cessnas/Beechcrafts had a propensity to experience near simultaneous failures of supposedly separate systems there would be...

Marv Golden ANR? by Sam Bradshaw
Hi all, I just recently got my Instrument rating (still waiting for that shiny new plastic ID :)), and was thinking about purchasing a low-end ANR headset(sub-$300). I was thinking about either the Marv Golden MG-ANR's or the DRE-6000's. I was looking through the newsgroups, and couldn't really...

LOP operation by Roger Long
Is anyone in this group interested in or experimenting with Lean of Peak operation? I'm especially interested in the experience of anyone doing it with a fixed pitch carb engine with single EGT and CHT probes. -- Roger Long

Pinckneyville by StellaStar
It's time again to tell Highflyer we're coming and make the annual descent upon the flatland of southern Illinois. I'm going, of course. The opportunity to stand around in a hangar with a crowd of certified geniuses who dress like hoboes (attack of the bright shirts!), drink beer, laugh a lot and...

Here's where I want to fly, now what do I need? by Boris
The following are questions about the reality in going from no flying experience to being qualified to fly my family away on weekends. Please indicate if this is the wrong newsgroup for these questions. The weekend drive from my home in Grosse Pointe, MI to Lake Ann, MI is 230 statute miles, about...

Women are better pilots than men by Nathalie Hutt
Men are too dumb to fly, they will think of their penises all the time and crash into mountains.Women are far more skilled and not driven by small "joysticks".

Switching to ground.... by David Rind
I landed at BED a couple of days ago, and as I was rolling out the controllers switched, so I never got the usual instruction to "turn off at Golf, ground .7". Since Golf was the first taxiway to turn off on anyway, I made the turn off. Tower was now so busy (common at BED) that I could not get a...

Northwest CEO Richard Anderson Jabs General Aviation by Larry Dighera

Summed up well thank you. by Boris
Thanks to everyone for their detailed and frank responses. You confirmed that flying tops the 'expensive hobby' list. I knew it, I just couldn't face up to it. I can see that for recreational pilots, flying is all about the experience. It cannot be justified any other way financially except to a...

car commercial with a beechcraft? by Otis
There was a car commercial on not too long ago for lexus or infiniti or mazda or something (I was only paying attention to the plane) that had a twin engine plane flying low overhead. I think it was a beechcraft. Anybody know what I'm talking about? Why can't I find .mpg's of TV commercials...

Why do constant speed power setting charts limit RPM? by Ben Jackson
A typical power chart for a constant speed prop will limit the RPM to 2400 at all altitudes and power settings. The 75% power table will just end when it is no longer possible to make enough manifold pressure to get 75% HP out of the engine at 2400 RPM. In contrast, a fixed pitch prop will turn...

Airport guides on video? by Philip Sondericker
Does anyone know of any videos that provide overviews of airports--kind of an "AFD on video" type of thing? Anything that's broken down by region? Thanks.

Practicing SFLs with a constant speed prop - how? by Ed
I'm fairly new to GA after a 19 year break flying jets. I routinely fly a single engine experimental with a constant speed prop mounted on a Lycoming IO-360. 2 QUESTIONS: 1. What's the proper setup to simulate the way the plane would glide in case of an engine failure? I'm looking for pitch...
