VOR ranges on sectionals by
Mxsmanic
I was pretty sure that there was something on sectional charts that allows you
to determine the service range of a given VOR, but looking at the guide to
aeronautical charts I don't see anything that indicates VOR range in the
legend. Am I missing something or am I just not remembering things...

...and the #1 stupid Dallas city ordinance is: by
Dallas
CHAPTER 5 AIRCRAFT AND AIRPORTS
SEC. 5-11. USE OF HYDROPLANES ON CITY PROPERTY.
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a hydroplane upon any
reservoir or any lake belonging to under control of the city. (Ord. Nos.

Presumably because they're Hydro "planes".

Airport and Airport 1975 by
Dave J
Okay, in a fit of aviation desperation, I decided to watch these two
films back to back as a way to get my regular fix without running the
Hobbs.
The movies are interesting. They're this strange mix of preposterous
and kinda 1/2 decent from an aviation persepective, especially the
first one. They...

I *finally* scored a fix by
Andrew Gideon
I confess: It's been since December since I've last been up. I did try
one time since, but my headset broke. And I didn't think it would be this
long until my next attempt.
But work, kids, weather...all conspired to keep me ground-bound...until
today.
I'm out of every currency possible; even...

IFR Flight Twice as Deadly as VFR? by
Jay Honeck
In the current issue of "Flying" magazine Richard Collins states that
flying on instruments is approximately twice as dangerous as flying
VFR. Twice as many deaths occur while flying under instrument flight
rules as they do in visual flight rules, per hour flown.
This statistic seems stunningly...

Why so many abbreviations in NOTAMs, etc.? by
Mxsmanic
Why are so many things abbreviated in NOTAMs and other similar documents?
Even words that aren't very long to begin with are often abbreviated, saving
only a letter or two. I can't think of any situation today in which bandwidth
would be so severely limited that saving a letter or two would make...

The plans were laid two-weeks ago a the annual family Easter gathering.

Knowing when you are overflying something by
Mxsmanic
How do you know when you are exactly overflying a specific spot on the ground?
It's it just a matter of knowing your particular aircraft, or are there tricks
that can help to determine this? I know you can look off the tip of your wing
to see if you're abeam something (such as a runway), but how...

Hi folks. For any of you who might have seen the Sky Arrow on the front
cover of this month's AOPA pilot, you might be interested in two very
important things:
1. It is every bit as fun to fly as it looks.
2. It is available to...

About avoiding airspace and cruising by
Erik
Not the sicko kind of cruising, either.
A friend of mine bought a house on some large property about
six miles (linearly) away from a towered airport with class D
five miles around it (one protrusion for approaches that I'm not
concerned with).
She's having a barn built and I'd like to fly over...

FAA Administrator Marian Blakey was supposed to appear at Sun N Fun

night?). Instead, she sent a panel of managers to address us.
When I was going through the gate to the flight line, I noticed two
