Hello? Ernie? Yeah, it's Mark by Mark
Watching the U.S. Open at Pebblebeach it occured to me that I played that course countless times on my "Tiger Woods PGA Tour" video game by EA sports and know all the hills and hazards. If only I could call Phil Mickelson and tell him what to do. After all, there's no difference in simulation and...

auto pilot v hand fly by a[_3_]
A recent post regarding technology made me curious about something The question for other pilots: on a 3 or 5 hour XC, do you let the transistors do the work, or do you mostly fly the airplane from "Clear" up to idle cut off? .. I'm guessing that 80% of the time I'm doing a cross country...

The altimeter in my (sim) cockpit has three colored bugs, two in the shape of arrows, diametrically opposed, in red and green, and one that is yellow and kind of wedge shaped. I can move the bugs but they all move together. What are these bugs for? The documentation doesn't seem to provide...

More on the Stearman flip at DCA by Orval Fairbairn[_2_]
I got this from a friend: My sources said that a Washington Post reporter was being carried and admitted to accidentally pushing the brakes in order to leverage himself up to see better during the landing. He didn't realize he was pushing rudders or brakes. It's a good lesson for all of us who...

Glitch disables 10,000 military GPS receivers by Mxsmanic
If the military itself can screw up enough to do this without even trying, you can imagine what a determined adversary could do to civil aviation deliberately: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/06/01/tech/main6537473.shtml Just another reason to keep VORs and other navigation methods as...

Simulators by birdog[_2_]
A bit of neophite comment on simulators. Some years ago I bought a Microsoft simulator, played with it a while and relegated it to a young friend. I'll say this - I wish I had this when I first started chasing instruments for certification. The first major hurdle, at least in my case, was...

local vs XC by a[_3_]
I just looked over the last dozen pages of my logbook -- the only flight listed as local was an unusual attitude recovery flight with me under the hood and a buddy as a safety pilot. Every other one was from one place to another so as to be able to do something at the 'other' place (business, visit...

Fed: Planes flying in "commercial" airspace must get GPS by Mxsmanic
See http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2010-05-28-aircontrol28_ST_N.htm I assume by "commercial" airspace they mean areas like Class A-B or A-C. And by "GPS" they appear to mean not just GPS but ADS-B. The article doesn't say which private aircraft will be expected to install this...
