Flyers, Just a quick note to all those people thinking of buying MS Flight Simulator X to save your money!!! It is a DOG! Anything short of technically advanced aliens accidentally leaving a super-duper ultra secret main-frame galactic defense optical computer with advanced hardware and...

I am after a simple W&B calculator for a PDA, with a few E6B calculations (density altitude, say) but nothing else. Try CoPilot, for the palm. It does more than just w&b, but you don't have to use it. IT is outstandingly excellent though. Jose -- "Never trust anything that can think for...

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...

This bit sums up all that is wrong with European flying :- "Respondents should note, however, that EASA will need to establish instrument rating requirements that are appropriate for European operations and weather conditions and that previous work by experts indicates that requirements based...

I'm looking for a PDA program that will do wifi to allow duats flight plans to be filed where there is a wireless hotspot like an FBO. Probably would work thru DUATs. Should be heavily template driven so that I only have to fill in a few things. Bill Hale

I recall reading about false lobes on the glideslope, and have seen it firsthand doing practice approaches in VMC. I thought it was due to antenna sidelobes, and thus the localizer might be subject to a similar phenomenon. I have yet to see anyone reference this, so is there a technical reason...

A close call between two planes at O'Hare Airport this summer was closer than originally reported. The National Transportation Safety Board said Tuesday that an Atlas Air cargo plane and a United Airlines jet came within 35 feet of colliding on July 23 -- not 300 feet as reported back in July...

I have lost my Job! I need to sell a picture I have of the original Skyblazers Signed by the team. My grandfather passed it on to me but, I am in need of money right now. The Twin Patillo Brothers knew my grandfather, (They give it to him). It is a pen and ink done in Fürstenfeldbruck, (In...

I see the latest batch of government approach plates are printed on nice white paper, rather like the stuff Jepp uses. Much better! The nasty old paper they used to use was very hard to read in low light conditions as the contrast was rather lacking. They are always one step behind Jepp, but at...

Hello, Here you are tootling along on your IFR flight plan - maybe on vectors - whatever, you're exactly where you should be, following ATC's instructions to the letter, and they then say "35Siera, you have traffic at 10:00 east to west three miles 7000 feet a Boeing 737

I roughly calculated that the weight of 1 in. of ice on all forward surfaces on my T182 (fixed gear) is about 250 lbs. Anyone cares to comment on this? Gerd (ATPL)

I would be interested in getting opinions about backup systems for a vacuum pump failure and/or AI failure. I have a 172P with a single vacuum pump system, standard instruments otherwise, and a Garmin 430. I am most concerned about having a good backup if I lose a vacuum pump or AI in IMC. I have...
