"26 Turn Flat Spin in a Tipsy Nipper" by
Jim Logajan
The following is a cockpit video from inside a "Tipsy Nipper" that
inadvertently enters a flat spin (at one point the pilot mutters resignedly
to himself "I think this is it"):

"Airplane Drivers" and "Self Centered Idiots" by
Skylune
Thanks to AVweb for this column. The pilot makes the point better than
I.

With this attitude towards fellow aviators, imagine how they feel about
noise abatement procedures, which are purely voluntary!!!
Excellent article, which will go into...

"An Airplane In Every Garage" by
AJ
I missed this article when it first appeared.
http://abcnews.go.com/Business/FlyingHigh/story?id=949148&page=1
Is it possible for the Light Sport category to revive that old slogan
of "An Airplane In Every Garage" in order to bolster the number of GA
pilots?

"Ari Silverstein", what an asshole! by
Mark
So this asshole "ari silverstein" whoever that is,
floods our newsgroups with racial, anti-semetic,
vulgar spamming for a year, making our cyber
homes an unsafe and ugly, unuseable place.
Then he challenges anyone to do something
about it, including a boxing match.
BUT IF YOU STAND UP TO THIS...

"Braking Action: Nil" by
Jay Honeck
That was the NOTAM for all of our local airports yesterday. With the
winds gusting to 20 knots, at a 60 degree crosswind, the thought of
landing on ice-covered runways sounded like...fun!
But then, we live in the Upper Midwest, so we're a bit odd that way...
;-)
Off to the airport we went --...

"Economy buffeting student pilots, flight schools" by
Jim Logajan
"By JAMES HANNAH, Associated Press Writer – Sun May 3, 1:49 pm ET
DAYTON, Ohio – Ivan Nogalo can often hear small planes buzzing over his
machine shop in Cleveland. "You want to be up there," the 33-year-old said.
But Nogalo can't be. The would-be pilot has been grounded because the
economy has...

"Engineer's clearance received" by
Mxsmanic
What does "Engineer's clearance received" mean in a preflight
checklist for a commercial airliner? This is in a 737, which doesn't
have a flight engineer, so I don't know what it's supposed to cover.

"FAA Survey"? by
Orval Fairbairn
Last week, I received a telephone call purporting to be from FAA,
querying Commercial-rated pilots, seeking "your satisfaction with FAA
services." When I answered that I am not currently exercising the
Commercial privileges, she ended the "survey."
Foolishly, I failed to take notes regarding...

It took me a bit aback. My home field is ~2-3 miles away from a ground-level

"From the Earth to the Moon" DVD set by

Maybe this is old stuff for most on this newsgroup, but I just
discovered this.
I rarely if ever hawk a particular product on Usenet, but this older

Christmas....thinking it was some boring collection of fuzzy
black-and-white 1960s...

I know someone some time ago was looking for the complete set of DVDs

that the EEA was one of the producers of this show. I looked on their

If the person who was looking for this is still on this...

"Full length" by

What does it mean when a controller says "Cleared for landing full
length", or "cleared for takeoff full length"?
I've never heard this said until I started flying out of this airport
I'm based at now which has a 11,800 ft. runway. Does it mean he wants
me to land further down towards the middle...

"Ground cushion" by
gatt[_2_]
In the book "Takeoffs and Landings" by Leighton Collins--who is referenced
in "Stick and Rudder"--there is no mention of the term
"ground effect."
Rather, Collins talks briefly about "ground cushion" and how air "piles up"
beneath the wings.
Do people still teach this?
