Hoping to fly to N99 for the weekend from near Newark. Any tips for this destination or this route?

I'm looking for a simple flight planning program or link to do some long cross country, short leg vfr flying. Something simple, without weight and balance computation or having to put in fuel burn and power setting. Don't need any graphics. Just a flight log type that uses an airport...

I fly an airplane whose last two digits in its identifier are "0P" (indicating that it's an OurPlane aircraft). Of course, OurPlane would have liked it to be "OP" instead, but the FAA won't allow "oscar" in aircraft identifiers, only "zero". It happens that there's another airplane at my airport...

Two separate people informed that cabin air pressure in flight is 14.7 psi (sea level equiv.) and that it is 10.0 psi (about 10,000 ft equiv.) on the ground. Obviously, this has to be backwards,...

Twas the night before Christmas 'Twas the night before Christmas, and out on the ramp, Not an airplane was stirring, not even a Champ. The aircraft were fastened to tiedowns with care, In hopes that come morning, they all would be there. The fuel trucks were nestled, all snug in their spots, With...

Is anyone else getting a high number (about 20%) of identical posts? I think the problem lies with my ISP (Charter), since they recently went with a new newsreader service. Let me know, if you are, and especially if you are using an ISP other than charter. Thanks. -- Jim in NC

Over a period of time aviation seems to make changes due to technical advances. As such in the past certain "basics" of aviation that were once written in stone have gone by the wayside. So here is one for ya. Last week I started a student on the ground school basics of cross country planing. Draw...

Hi, I've just moved to saint louis and am looking for a place to continue my private training. I've searched through these postings but unfortunatly it seems like a lot of the FBO's around here have either gone out of business or at least stopped teaching. So does anyone have any thoughts on...

Another T-34 crashed today here in Houston killing the IP and student.Was from the company that has air combat and upset training. Eye witness heard a report and saw a wing that had separated.

ok...as to flying c-150/172 type aircraft, what can you do, really, that's fun and won't hurt the airframe? at 80mph, can you really hurt the machine with full control deflection? i guess that's what i'm asking ... how much can you "yank and bank" these things before bad things happen? i can...

I was wondering where I could find any information about a twin engine caravan conversion. I remember seeing this a while back where someone had geared to turbines together to keep a single prop. Does anyone know who did the conversion? Thanks, Dan

"My A&P took a look, sure enough, said I have never seen anything like this." He's never worked on Mooney then has he. :-) One thing about Mooney's, either they are leaking now, or they will be :-) We have some seepage that has appeared on our '79 M20J. We are monitoring it but we will...
