This has come up a couple of times lately. Has anyone else here done an off airport unscheduled landing? What were the circumstances and outcome? How do you view it after the fact and what do you do to avoid another one? (helicopters don't countgg)

Boing747 over-runs Landing-strip. I believe this happened in China. The wet runway and the probably over-speeded 747 produced this dramatic crash: http://www.jumpingpixels.com/boing747.html

But unfortunately it's not in a good way. Apparently, we're #1 in identity theft... Two major contributing factors cited: 1) An elderly population who are not hip to the world of electronic commerce. 2) A very high number of methamphetamine related crimes. Seems users and

Hello, My wife and I are spending five nights in Seattle between July 4th and July 8th (leaving Saturday, July 9th). Since we're driving in on the fourth, we basically have the 5th through the 8th as full days to explore. We have to spend one day on the Olympic Penninsula (fond memories for my...

Folks ! I am planing to get my IFR ticket. preferably in one of accelerated programs. I have read about a few but I am still looking for one where they take you on a cross-country ride to say west-coast or Alaska (I am in east) and you don't shoot same approach twice. AT the end of the trip you...

I've seen two basic gizmos for tying down a plane in the bush: something that looks like a corkscrew, and something that looks like and auger. Which one is best, and why? thanks tom

These were 8mm, transferred to VHS, and converted to digital. The company that did the film to VHS added the sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqFY4avpYew That's the same J3 that is flying there today, or at least was three years ago.

I know that books can be written about what FAA considers "commercial use" requiring appropriate certification and what is "incidental", but I'm going to ask this anyway. Does taking aerial pictures and then using them in a commercial product constitute a commercial use? If I take a picture of say...

Are there any small airparks and flying clubs around the Phoenix AZ area? I'm not talking about the airports on the sectional chart. I'm looking for the small grass or dirt fields with Experimentals and or Ultralights? OK I suppose some may be on sectional charts. -- Have a good day and stay...

OK I am just getting into the VFR GPS navigation thing. Here is my question: what is the origin of all of these intersections? I see some as airway intersections on sectionals, but many seem random. And why is it when I file an airway flight plan with AOPA flight planner, it always throws a couple...

Can anyone recommend a good, trustworthy mechanic for SE in or near the Rochester, Minnesota area? Thanks.

I was returning this afternoon from the first flight that I've been able to make since the end of July due to a busy work schedule and the Omega Block low clouds and daily strong thunderstorms we've been experiencing here in the New York area for the past few weeks. So after I landed and buttoned...

More and more of my friends are interested in going flying with me. I guess word is getting around. I have a DC 10-60 for myself. Shortly after I got my license I got another pair for passenger use. I preferred not to spend so much but after trying on so many others, I didn't want to subject my...

I am curious to see if anyone else has experienced an increase in the frequency of being selected for more thourough security searches when flying commercially since obtaining a private pilot certificate. I am not a paranoid person, and am not really bothered by it but... I am well over 6 feet...

I'm getting tired of paper revisions. At work, I tease those that actually still use paper when there's a better alternative. And here I am still using paper when there's a better alternative. However, I've no machine running a Microsoft environment directly, and this seems to be the target...
