Do you flight plan? by Nasir
Having received my PPL recently and been on several cross countries, I was wondering how extensive of a flight plan do people prepare before the trip? Do you guys do all the checkpoints on a map, calculate time/distance/fuel to each leg? Do you just draw the line on the map and mark checkpoints...

New airline pilot course by Carl
It seems that the University in Newcastle in Austyralia is not any longer offering an aviation degree. Apparently it is not what industry needs. However, they seem to start something new. Some ATPL course which even complies with the new European licencing rules and it seems they now will do a full...

First long-distance trip by Marc
After 4 years with a pilot's license, I took my first serious long-distance trip, travelling for two weeks in a Grumman Tiger: me, a bicycle, and a few bags. Went Boston - Nashville - Roanoke - Norfolk - Boston (actually smaller airports near each of these places). Biggest thing I learned;...

Winter Flying, all over again by Jay Honeck
So this afternoon was perfect VFR, after the storms of yesterday. Realizing that we wouldn't be able to fly for at least another week, due to upcoming holiday commitments, it was obvious what needed to be done: Fly -- right now! Problem: Two inches of snow had fallen yesterday, on top of heavy...

How's the Flu Hitting You? by Jay Honeck
Over 1/3 of my son's middle school went home (or called in) sick yesterday. It's all over the news that this is the worst flu outbreak since the killer 1918-1919 flu epidemic. (Which, incidentally, claimed my grandfather, and very nearly killed my grandmother, while she was pregnant with my...

Our new rec.aviation "Rogue's Gallery" of pictures. Since our new website is obviously becoming more popular with you folks every day, I need some advice on how to proceed: 1. Should I include "anonymous" posters? I have received pictures from several folks who do not wish to use their real...

Instructing with an ATP by \T\ Tung
Hello all I hear a lot of my buds say that FAR Part 61 allows a pilot holding an ATP to instruct another pilot towards a qualification or a rating in an airplane without having a CFI ticket. I say that the ATP-holder can only do that if he's doing it as part of an air transportation provider...

Cool flight by Royce Brown
I have had my private ticket for just over three years. I still get a thrill out of taking off and landing. I have owned a Cessna 172rg for around two years now. I recently had a great flight that to many of you experienced pilots may not be a big deal. To me it was a very...

Got burned - Don't go to Lansing Jet Center. by Jon Kraus
I decided to fly from my home north of Indianapolis Indiana to visit family in Lansing Michigan. My trip up was a beautiful, uneventful hour and a half flight. I was to stay until Friday morning and then return. The weather on Friday made it impossible to return because of icing issues. No...

Liberals Ignore The Wright Brothers by Andrew Gideon
Liberals HATE America wrote: Alas, Orville and Wilbur Wright are today pigeon-holed as "dead white males" whom we are supposed to ignore, if not deplore. The author is sadly misinformed. I couldn't care less about "white" or "male". However, "dead" is a Bad Thing. I certainly expend a...

Don Brown column by David Rind
Haven't seen anyone comment on this yet (though maybe I just missed the thread). In any case, Don Brown's column this week on AVWeb is clearly based on the situation and question that Chip Jones posted here in August. http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/186249-1.html -- David...
