Have you ever wondered why they sometimes call the F-16 a "Lawndart" ? Well, the answer is in the video that we have just uploaded on our weekly aviation mishaps, accidents and crases webpage: www.dappa.nl/crash.htm. The pilot ejected safely (seen on video), and only some local worms suffered from...

I flew from Ohio to Florida early this week. The third leg was from Valdosta (KVLD) GA to West Palm Beach (KPBI) FL. My originally filed route was amended twice before I got 25 miles. JAX Center gave me PHK (Pahokee VOR) as my final fix before KPBI. As I was nearing the east shore of Lake...

At http://members.cox.net/mhorowit/interesting weld with comment.jpg is a pic of two tubes welded at 90 degrees. Any idea how he got any strength to the joint? I don't think either tube had any metal removed for fitting. - Mike

Thought there used to be an "avionics" subgroup, but I guess not. Cross posting this in .products & .experimental. If you want a good real world test of how hardened your equipment is to RFI, fly over to Delano, California and fly the pattern for 32L. That puts you about 2 miles from the Voice...

In two words, don't bother. Flew today Anacortes (north of Seattle) back home to Palo Alto, IFR at FL190. The flight plan was pretty complicated, over a dozen waypoints all carefully entered into my shiny new 530 during climb out. And guess what... I got to fly to exactly one of them. Initially I...

Howdy all, Got into a discussion of the strangest and/or most difficult instrument approach procedures with some friends recently. One guy used the GUC ILS RWY6 as an example (rules: you do NOT have GPS, are /A direct HBU from the NE, and CANNOT be vectored to the LOC due to radar coverage,...

This weekend, I'm flying almost due south 340 nm from Ottawa to Philadelphia, as I mentioned in a separate posting. Inevitably, the legs of my planned flight zigzag around a track of 180 deg M, some slightly on the east side, and some slightly on the west. Consider this part of the trip, all on...

Does anyone know of a consolidated list of AFSS Clearance Delivery telephone numbers? Stan

Could someone using the software address this issue? I posed the question to "Dauntless", John T., and Bill Zaleski.and the thread went silent. I'd really like to know because I haven't selected a package yet.

Does the lapse rate equation hold in all cases? I was recently wondering what kind of temperature would be reached at 35 Kft over Arctic Canada in January. It seemed that the lapse rate equation would lead you to expect temperatures that would be causing nitrogen and carbon dioxide to be...

Close encounters of the cloud kind.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrICb0NQ8Gg In flight stills and videos to the sound track of Close encounters of the Third kind. Hopefully some find worthy sharing with even our non pilot brethren on our email lists and show off one of our many cloud...

I'm trying to determine the average hours it took for you to get your IFR rating. Just curious.

Can't fly in this stuff so might as well video it :-) Yesterday's severe storm that rolled through my area. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT0flofwrrw First two minutes are merged clips of videos I took of the lightning and the second two minutes of the video are stills extracted from the video.

This question is the result of the wrong runway issue at LEX last weekend. Not having flown an EFIS or EFMS myself, I'm not sure of the "into position checklist items". For example, in a standard steam-gauge panel one of the last things we check is to align the directional gyro with the runway...

With a waypoint on my 430 and pressing the OBS button my 430 draws a "radial". The radial that is on the obs indicator. What i don't understand is why the radial showing on the display is white and not magenta? The reciprical of the radial is magenta. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Thanks
