As we were flying over to Newton, IA today, we started discussing icing and snow -- something that we must constantly worry about in these parts for at least the next 4 months. As we were talking, we heard a "Flight for Life" 'copter on Unicom, which got us to wondering how it is that these guys...

I just noticed that NACO now has the A/FD online (along with the TPPs): http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xml=naco/online/d_afd

This has been a recurring topic with no clear answers. I say, hoof it over to the hilton. They have wireless for their guests. There is no sign on page, but I have no idea what their range is. John

FAA Administrator Nominee Dixon lied to the Senate committee charged with confirming him and, had a whistleblower pilot reporting safety issues at Delta fraudulently declared unfit for duty. Later the FAA validated the reported safety issues. IS THIS WHO WE WANT GOVERNING THE SAFETY OF AIRLINE...

All: I heard a lot of air activity over my Washington, DC home today, and was told later by a friend that an 84-year-old pilot had a total electrical failure on the way from Stafford, VA (KRMN), where maintenance was being performed on his plane. According to my friend, the pilot landed at Indian...

Hello all, I have heard rumors in the past that Tinker Air Force Base (OKC) had a flying club. I have looked in the base newspaper, and the tinker homepage with no luck. I have also DAGS. Anyone know if one is still in exsistence, or even fly with them. I heard they may be based out...

I toured the new state of the art tower at Addison airport last week and was struck by all the security measures they employed. The entire complex and parking lot was surrounded by a dense wrought iron fence with a nasty "fish hook" shaped sharp pointed curve at the top. An intercom opened the...

Looking to buy a protable/backup transceiver. Any recommendations?

In a typical small GA aircraft, do the controls have a natural tendency to return exactly to their neutral positions when you aren't holding them and when you are on the ground? Do they have a tendency to return to exactly neutral in flight if you release them in level flight? The reason I ask is...

I count around six posts in a row about aviation, with almost all of the responses actually related to the topic. Common factor- no Anthony Atkielski. When asked a logical question, Bertie gives reasonable and factual answers based upon knowledge and experience. This was never the case with MX,...

Flyers, I would like to give a small PIREP of the new Lightspeed Zulu headset. I bought one for the Bluetooth capability, but I was pleasantly surprised to find it had much more to offer. The comfort and fit was equal or surpassed my Bose X. The ANR was about equal IMO to other headsets...

I'll probably need an airport tour to answer this to my satisfaction, but I thought it merited a discussion here anyway. It seems pretty standard that, after an airplane is refueled, you wait 10-15 minutes and resample the fuel to check for contaminants (water). I recently witnessed a situation...

Hi, Our C172 O-320 is well over TBO and needs new cylinders. We are thinking we might just bite the bullet and get a new engine at this stage. The Penn Yan Aero SuperHawk STC looks like a good option since it would give us 180 HP - a nice extra safety margin for our short strip. Has anyone here...
