I'm taking my 7 month old son on a cross-country next month. He's flown on an airline before and he handled it quite well. I'm worried about hearing protection. Should I even bother? Would regular ear-muffs be enough for him or should I find some infant-sized hearing protection? How about...

Hello everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster (I always wanted to say this ;)) Anyway, I have just acquired my private pilot license and I'm en route to the intrument ticket. Since as you know, this is the time where a second private pilot is what helps best to collect the needed instrument...

Hello, Today around 10:52am PDT (+/- a couple of minutes) I was in south San Jose when I heard a very loud jet engine noise overhead. When I looked up I saw something that looked like a F-18 on the SJC landing path for 30L or 30R. It may have been a different plane - sorry, I did not have my...

Hello, I just came back from a walk outside my office in Santa Clara. Around 3:00pm I saw something quite unusual - while all the planes from San Jose International were taking off in N-W direction, there was a single plane (something that looked a bit like MD-80) that seemed to _land_ coming...

Heh.. Where is here some web gallery about site creators? I'm need it. For example, as here - Google, I'm really have seen it here. Good luck!

Went to the Atlanta airshow this weekend. As part of their media relations, the Angels give rides to local media. Here is some good video from such a ride. http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/extra/blueangels The first two scenes are good. The second is hilarious. I'm sure I'm laughing with,...

Hey guys, I'm traveling in the CA, UT, NV region in June this year, and want to buy me a David Clark headset. Does anybody has a good suggestion for a pilotshop where I can check and buy this? Googling the internet didn't result in a appropriate match, apart from several on line shops.

Hi, As a student pilot PPL(A), I'm considering to buy a brand new headset, though can't decide which one to buy. Checking all data, I can't discover any remarkable diff between both models. - The 10-13.4 model is the old time favorite, it seems. - The 20-10 model is presented as next generation...

Hello, what year did the cessna 180 get 6 seats? Looking to occasionally carry more than 4 people out of a 1600 ft grass strip. Thanks, David

Hello All, The manufacturer of the alternators in the Cessna 310 that I fly requires the pilot to turn off the alternators before engine shutdown. Failure to do this will void the warranty on the alternators. Does anyone know of a reason for this? I have a suspicion that it has to do with the fact...

Hi everyone, Me and a friend are wondering why jets leave a white trail behind them. My guess is that it's moisture being compressed as it passes through the turbine (because some leave a single trail, while others leave two separate trails). My friend thinks it's because of moisture being...

I can never get this right! When the airport list's it's approach freq like this 123.75 (320-152) 119.9 (153-319) does that mean that I should call 123.75 if my heading is between 320 and 152 or the opposite? AliR

Hi Everyone, I just saw an ad for an IFR 1978 152 with 5230 total hours, 370 SMOH for $30K. Is that a good first plane? I am wondering how much insurance will run for such an airplane (I am IFR with 230+ hours, working on Commercial ticket). How much is the operational cost of a 152?

Hi everyone, I am an instrument pilot who hasn't been able to fly but once every 2 months in the last year or so, because of the fact that I got married, and have a little one. I am looking for a place or organization where I can volunteer my time as a pilot, not have to pay too much for the...
