Warning: 25' wide, 1800' long by
Andrew Gideon
I was circling over N85 in my partnership's non-retractable 182,
considering landing. Someone had just landed there (on runway 26). He
suggested that I might want to consider 31, given the wind direction, if I
was "up to it".
"Up to it"?
I've landed at N85 a few times, but never on this...

Sure is easy to read this newsgroup! by

Over the last month I've "kill filed" or "blocked sender" in IE
express all the obvious non-pilot posters. Troll posters AND troll
feeders. Only about 10 people left! I know I've "killed" a few
posters that were knowledgeable and I admit, enjoyed reading their
post when it applied to...

BRS by
Gezellig
Recent Cessna Skycatcher chute failed to deploy.
http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1215-full.html#198852
What are the real values, and in what "normal situations" is BRS
worthwhile? Are there significant insurance cost reducs that make this
system cost effective?

weather for pilots? by
Qzectb
Are there readers in this newsgroup who have a strong interest in
weather as it relates to aviation? I don't mean just the stuff you
need to get from point A to B safely or to pass your written but
deeper knowledge -- where and why does icing occur? The physics of
thunderstorms? Turbulence? ...

Help With My training by
Gezellig
Last Friday, I went up for an introductory flight lesson out of the San
Carlos airport. WOW!!!!!! I have been dreaming about learning to fly
since I was in my teens. All the time I was in the air the lines of
that famous poem kept going through my head "Oh, I have slipped the
surly bonds of...

Going for my Multiengine rating by
Kobra
Flyers,
For absolutely no reason, except that I want it, I have been taking
Multiengine lessons (including Multi-Instrument and Commercial). The flight
school has a Piper Seneca I (PA34-200) circa 1973.
It fly's like a flying Bulldozer on Codeine (sp?). It's a beast...really.
The controls...

New blood by
Peter Duniho
Okay, rather than replying to the individual arrivals' threads, I felt
compelled to start this new one. Is it just me, or is there a palpable
feeling of freshness around here? A certain simmer notwithstanding, it
seems to me that in the recent month or so, we've gotten at least three

Who has a night rating? by
Marc Lattoni
As a VFR only pilot, I thought it pointless to get a night rating due to the
potential difficulties of encountering a "black hole" and not having the
skills to get back to safety. But our flight school encourages us to
experience the beauty of night flying on clear nights.
Just wondering, how many...

FM radio interference from planes by
rb
I bought a FM wireless transmitter to rebroadcast stuff from my PC
around the house. The only frequency I could find was 104.1 that was
clear without a station. But all of a sudden, now when I am
broadcasting my stuff, I pick up planes instead. How can this be? I
know it is from planes, as I hear...

Landing airplanes by
Dan Luke
With all the recent discussion about the landing quirks of various aircraft,
I've started to feel I must be missing something.
In every airplane I've ever landed, including the "notorious" Mooney and
Twin Commanche, I've used the same technique: pull the power off and round
out close to the...

Presidential TFRs -- AUGH! by

of absolutely no where Wisconsin, to visit the Bong Museum (BOTH kids are at

Right across the bridge from Superior...
