Awhile back, someone posted a link to a site where you can enter the location, time and date and get a map showing where airliners are at that time. Anyone have the address of such a website? Or just one showing the routes from city to city. (I have to take a trip and want to pick the best side...

Tell me what you think about this issue: I flew 4443H ('79 Mooney 201) Saturday morning for a couple of hours. One time during the flight, for about 5 minutes the High / Low voltage light was flickering. It did stop flickering, the ammeter wasn't showing a discharge, and the battery voltage...

Greeting to all; I own a 1964 Cessna 182 with a Continental O-470-R25 engine. This is equipped with an E.I. 6 pt EGT gauge. Typical cruise power setting is 20" manifold pressure 2300 RPM. I seem to have a plug fouling issue.

Maybe another way to describe what I'm looking for, is a Consumer Report's type of grid that shows features of each of the GPS's and ranks them as "good, better, and best" Anyone know of comparative review of several GPS's in one place? Thanks for answering here.

This starter is for a Grumman Traveler or Cheetah with the Lycoming O-320 E2G. Electrosystems Part # MZ-6222 At 7 1/2 lbs., MagnaFlite is the lightest starter on the market. It weighs 60% less than conventional starters, and is the easiest to install with absolutely no modifications required....

YIPPEE! I'm now a private pilot! I took and passed, the private pilot checkride on Tuesday. What a relief! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought I'd be, and went very well. Now I need an aviation GPS and 'Guest Headset', and I'm hoping that readers of this list will have recommendations about...

I would imagine higher fuel/insurance/operating costs will drive the trends already in motion. Namely, more shared ownership, less private (1 person) ownership, and either a shift towards owners in a higher income bracket, or fewer owners overall as the ones struggling with the expense drop...

I've not been to Oshkosh on the first weekend, always later in the week. Can you walk around looking at planes (for free) on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th? Show opens on Monday, July 25th. When do they start charging 'gate admission' at Oshkosh? What's open/available the first weekend vs. what's...

With OSH 2005 fast approaching, the blood is quickening, and there's a new spring in my step. The Big One is almost here! However, as we do every year, we're starting to look at Atlas -- our 1974 Pathfinder -- with a jaundiced eye, looking for deficiencies that need filling, either in his...

All day long heard private plane noise, couldn't have my usual barbaque outside, drove me crazy. Had to go inside, cook ribs inside with loud music playing to drown out the plane noise.

I am considering purchasing one of these "cheap" twins but before even making the long trip to check it out, I am wondering if there are any views on the flight characteristics and costs of ownership of this plane. Is it a difficult thing to land? Single engine performance and stall and other...

Got this response from AOPA re the loss of TIS sites: "Quote" The next site slated for the ASR 11 upgrade is in Fla in Nov., and the next is in Jan 2006. We are continuing to identify all the information we can on this issue and develop the best strategy for this situation. I can assure you that...

Hello, I have an apartment complex in a town about 150 miles away. It is an ideal mission for my Beech Sundowner. I'm about to take a car out there to keep at the airport. Then I will begin flying ( 1.5 hours ) instead of driving ( 2.75 hours ). Since I have no vehicle dedicated to my business,...

Is there a procedure or can anyone offer advice on putting a plane into long term storage, so that the airframe is protected and a few years down the road it can be brought back up with a minimum of fuss and lubing? Should the plane be wrapped somehow to keep insects and critters from getting in? ...

My flying club is in the market for a couple of newer (probably less than ~2000 hrs TT), basic four seat used aircraft. I'm trying to find additional resources for used aircraft listings. Trade-a-Plane doesn't appear to cut it by itself anymore for used aircraft listings. Can anyone suggest any...

I am looking at pruchasing an A36. I am 6'3" with a fair amount of my height in my torso. I sat in the A36 and found that my head hit the ceiling, even without a headset. I found this interesting, as I have fit in every plane I've flown. Most of my time is in Sundowner, Cherokee 180, Seneca...

Anyone have experience with installing VG's on a 172 (preferably an "M")? If you've done it or flown one with VG's, would you recommend it as a positive enhancement? Problems or concerns? Thanks,

We finally did it.... we had to weigh the airplane. After three years of owning it, upgrading radios, adding whatzits (Tannis heater, vacuum filter, new strobe, etc), we finally had a custom interior made up for it. Since the last weighing was without an interior and the weight/moment would be...
