ATC by
Mike Gilmour[_2_]
Listening to Boston ATC at various times the Tower controller asks a flight
if they 'have got their numbers" (?) or a flight will say they're not ready
to proceed because they "don't have their numbers".
What does this mean as it doesnt translate here in the UK?
TIA

Got My Ticket today!!!! by
CareBear
After an additional 5.5 hours practicing forward slips to a landing and soft
field landings, I got my ticket today. I will admit it is exciting to
finally get your ticket checking to see if it's truly mine, yep, has my
name on it.
Now that the "pressure" is off, I plan to just fly and...

New Plan -- Going to Kill Devil Hills by
Jay Honeck
Looking at the prog charts for the next several days, Texas looks like
a mess. Moderate to heavy rains, thunderstorms, yuck. Our plan to
head south on Sunday is scrubbed.
So, we're looking at heading to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina instead.
The progs look great for at least three or four days, and...

Crosswind landing control.. by
Dan
All,
When touching down in a crosswind, after the mains and the nosewheel
have all touched down firmly and are rolling, would it be proper
procedure to apply slight forward pressure to get better steering from
the nosewheel? Often, noseweel steering seems ineffective, and this
seems to have...

Gentle take-offs at high speed by
Mxsmanic
Is there any harm in taking off at a relatively high speed and very
gently? There seems to be plenty of runway in most cases for small
aircraft. If I leave the ground at 120 kts instead of the normal
rotation speed, I find that I can lift off ever so gently. Plus I
have lots of airspeed if...

Overly restrictive business flying requirements. by
Wily Wapiti
Hello.
I thought I'd bounce these off the group and see what people
think. These are the UniRegs at the University of Wyoming for flying
your own or rented plane on University business. I feel, as a
low-time private pilot that they are overly restrictive, but I thought
I'd see what the sage...

Angel Flight by

I was thinking about jointing/volunteering for Angel Flight of Oklahoma as a

be 200hr, when we get some good flying weather. I have flown only 3 times since
November. Because VFR flying is unreliable, I wonder if I...
