Anyone use Air Chart? by
Steven Barnes
I saw an ad in AOPA for www.airchart.com . Does anyone have any experience
with these charts? My flight instructor recently got them. For someone that
does a bit of traveling, it sounds like a great deal. I'm curious how
practical they are (in-flight usage, not able to draw the big 'ol line

DeltaDeltaDelta
What are the differences between these two? Overall, the seem much the same,
though every 152 I saw has a "newer" look i.e. looks younger and cleaner.

ANR headset suggestions? by
Magnus
I've been looking around a bit for a good headset, any recomendations.
Is ANR worth it or not? Some people say it's bad because you can't hear
the engines so it takes longer to discover engine problems and makes it
harder to sync the props.
On the other hand, it seems to be a very comfortable...

So maybe we're not Spaniards by
Judah
To think, the whole lengthy, periodically mean-spirited, often
accusational, and sometimes borderline insane thread started because Jay
was trying to wish good tidings to the victims of the terror attack in
Spain....
And now the whole world, and the whole newsgroup, has been changed for
ever...

GPSMAP 296 - a bit of info from tech support ... by
Cockpit Colin
The expected release date for all models is April of 2004. I do not have a
more accurate date than that. I hope to see them available by the middle of
the month in the US if all goes smoothly. You will need the Pacific basemap
for coverage of Australia and New Zealand.

Got to land a King Air 90 today... by
Jay Honeck
And I'm still giggling, probably from sleep deprivation. Here's how it
happened:
Mary and I were at the inn yesterday, working desperately to get our new
Blackbird Suite ready for prime time -- it was booked for the weekend, and
we still had over 20 pieces of art to hang! (And you don't just...

The Spruce Goosed by the ADA? by
C J Campbell
Someone posted on the Pacific Northwest Flying forum that they had flown to
McMinnville, OR to tour the Spruce Goose. What they found out was that since
the entire airplane is not handicapped accessible the public was no longer
being allowed to go through it. The only view of the interior now...

Compression Tests by
Doug
Does anyone do an "automotive" type compression test on their aircraft
engine? I think this kind of "dynamic" test might show problems (such
as valves not opening all the way), that a leakdown test would not
(and vice-versa). Anyway my annual is coming up and I want to do it. I
imagine something...

Opening up a turn coordinator by
Robert M. Gary
I just bought a Brittan turn coordinator off a Bonanza on ebay. I'm
curious how to open it up so I can see the gyro, et. al. I took the
back off but that only gained me access to some capacitors on the
back. I tried to take the face apart but that didn't seem to be the
way to do it. How can I open...
