The AOPA Canada briefing summary says a Radiotelephone Operator's permit is required for flight into Canada. I did some checking at the FCC website and it appears that the cost for this piece of paper is $100. Or am I looking at the wrong piece of paper. Flying is admittedly expensive, but this...

Does anyone have any recent experience with purchasing a new 172S? I'd like to know if there's any room for negotiation on the price of the aircraft from the list price. Considering that Cessna has decreased production, I'm beginning to think they will force a demand in the marketplace. I...

I am still filtering out all the usual paperwork that comes with a previously loved airplane. You know, the usual receipts for 12 new batteries dating back to WWII etc. Anyway, there are lots of yellow tags stapled in the logs and almost as many in various envelopes.

Anybody know the reason for this? The needle on the pilot's side is stable, but the needle on the co-pilot side swings wildly, especially when the tank is full. A float moves the needle around the dial. Why doesn't it stay still and be good like its brother?

Hello. I live in Illinois. I am in the process of selling my Cherokee 180. Does anyone know if there are sales tax implications for the seller? Does it matter if I sell the plane in-state, out-of-state, or to a corporation? When I purchased, I bought the plane from an individual who lived...

"Tony Woolner" wrote in message ... Saw a Warrior with a Collins radio in it. Never saw this radio before. Are they very old? Well. Yes. They could be pretty old. They also could be pretty new - or reconditioned. Either way, they do...

I am going to need to travel to Arlington, VA (Ballston area) on business fairly often. Does anyone have any tips on the best and nearest general aviation airport to fly into. I am looking for something that is as close as possible. Reagan would be ideal, but I expect that they have either...

On preflight I noticed a little oil seeping around the bolt on the pilot's front cylinder (Superior Milleniums). This is on a '67 C150 w/ the Continental O200. I grabbed the bolt and turned it @ 2 1/2 times until it was finger tight against the cylinder. Partner and I have grounded the plane. ...

Hi, all, Could someone please provide some suggestions on this. Last summer we bought a 1997 160 HP Cessna 172-R. The test flight (with 3 adults) went just fine. When I picked the plane up from the shop after the service (required to fix certain things that needed it , the performance was very...

My club has started thinking about putting Mode-S transponders in our aircraft (3 Archers, 2 Arrows, 2 Bonanzas), to take advantage of traffic advisory information. Does anybody here have Mode-S in their plane now? Do you make use of the traffic info? How well does it work? How easy is it to...
