737 thinks it's a DC-10? by
Kingfish
http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2007-11-08-saa-jet_N.htm?csp=Travel
Maybe a broken fuse pin like the one that brought down that El Al 747
in Amsterdam back in '92? I know airline pilots train for power loss
during critical phases of flight, but I wonder how differently the
plane handles...

Why didn't the Cessna 337 make it? by
PP-DQA
My instructor has over 100 hrs on the Skymaster, and he always said
that the problem with the Skymaster crashes were untrained piltos who
didn't take imemdiate actions when needed. He mentioned the
Synchrophaser gauge, that would show you which engine was doing the
work. IT either pointed forward...

The Garmin 496...a teenager's review by
Jay Honeck
Now that my son is taking flight lessons, I'm letting him fly in
(Read: Mary is relinquishing) the front seat more often. This plants
him squarely in front of our panel-docked Garmin 496, the latest-and-
greatest portable GPS from Garmin.
We've flown behind this unit since OSH '06, and he has...

The "founder" of this rec.aviation.piloting usenet newsgroup, Jeoff

Wichita Airspace Question and overlapping airspace by
Owen[_4_]
So, Wichita, Kansas seems to be blessed with a lot of airports and the

(ICT), there is Col. Jabara (towerless), Beech Factory (private field
w/ tower), McConnell AFB, etc.

A beautiful little plane by
Mark
http://www.myplane.com/ad/1067#%20self
And the price is right too. Only problem
is-
It's a tiny little bird. I've been told that
anyone over 6' or 175lbs, don't bother.
Myself, 6'3", 199lbs.

Turbulence and airspeed by
Jay Honeck
Mary and I flew to West Bend, Wisconsin (KETB) today. It was supposed to be
CAVU all day, except along the Lake Michigan shoreline (where they were
getting stomped with lake-effect snows all day), but, of course, the
forecast was just a bit off, as it often is in winter.
From Dubuque (DBQ) to...

I think this was reported a month ago as well, but there was another
round of news releases today stating that the pilots took their

both engines failed and they crashed before...

insurance for Sport Pilots! by
Cub Driver
I always figured that the test on the new Sport Pilot rules would be
how the new category would be treated by insurance companies. After
all, if I can't get insurance, I can't rent the Cub! Here's the
answer, which also indirectly addresses the question of how much
safety we're giving up by...

Practicing SFLs with a constant speed prop - how? by
Ed
I'm fairly new to GA after a 19 year break flying jets. I routinely
fly a single engine experimental with a constant speed prop mounted on
a Lycoming IO-360.
2 QUESTIONS:
1. What's the proper setup to simulate the way the plane would glide
in case of an engine failure? I'm looking for pitch...
