If the pilot is not the owner of the airplane, AOPA's website recommends carrying a notarized letter from the owner or club authorizing the flight. Everyone I spoke to has never heard of this requirement. Since a club member is actually a part owner, is the letter still necessary? I...

Prompted by a low flying question I thought I'd ask the board the highest or lowest airport you've flown into/out of. I've got about 12000 hrs in the lowest reaches of the airspace system doing crop dusting worldwide, and utility work with helicopters in same areas. BTW, a couple of those airports...

I've been using Cirrus for DUATS over my cable modem for years. My drive crashed recently and I reinstalled the program. Now I can't get it to aurtomatically log in and get the weather info I ask for. It just comes to the prompt and asks for my name. From there I have to type...

Unless it's just my imagination are we all of a sudden getting a lot more porn postings in this (and other groups)? Has anyone found any effective tools that stop it getting displayed at our end? Cheers, CC

After the cold front passed last night, my instrument student and I took off VFR from FCI, about 11 miles from Richmond Intl (just outside of Class C). We had just departed 33, climbing though 1200MSL when I spotted traffic in the distance to the west. On this particular evening, Potomac approach...

Ernie Fletcher nearly got himself shot down when he penetrated the DC ADIZ with a busted transponder. Can you imagine what would have resulted from such an event? It could well have been the end of the Bush administration. So, I have a modest (ahem) proposal. Democrats! Here is your chance to so...

I'm a member of a club that has a Cessna 177RG. I just got checked out in it today , and the gear horn is waaaay too quiet. I want a gear horn that is soo loud it will make your teeth hurt. A club member landed it gear up about 4 months ago, so the owner of this particular plane would also like...

I was watching skydiving operations for the first time this week. The first three jumpers climbed into the 182 and it rocked back on the tail tiedown ring. The next two got in and it came down on the nose gear, barely. There appeared to be an attachment to the tie down ring to turn it into a...

I was reading on http://150cessna.tripod.com about owner manufactured parts. I was wondering if I could make my own interior parts? For example change plastic parts to aluminum, or titanium such as the plastic instrument bezels, mike holder ECT. I have access to a really nice machine shop, CNC...

Hi guys, I am in the IT field and am finding out that I hate it more and more everyday. I do not want to be working in front of a computer for the rest of my life. I started my business and I guess I am doing okay, but I'm 23 years old and want to fly or do something with airplanes. I keep finding...

Er....no. Just read an article about a blinc guy in england who's going to fly around in a modified warrior. Apparently the system uses audio to translate what the instruments show. Good thing he has a safetypilot however, since he can't see traffic for example. Maybe it's the wave of the future,...

Seeing the thread on how strikefinders work was interesting to me because my wife and I had just been discussing strikefinders last week. We were doing the Disney thing in Orlando (buying our 9-year-old son's everlasting devotion), and we got to wondering how far the various strikes we were seeing...

Hi all, I don't know if it was a rerun and has been thoroughly done over here, but last nights episode of The Mythbusters 'busted' the explosive decompression myth surrounding bullet holes in aircraft. The guys sealed up a junked out cabin, pressurized it, then fired 9mm bullets through first the...
