Went up to touch some clouds today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHC-s9cl8cE Using the same technique in creating my last video, put the camera on the glareshield and pretty much set it and forgot it. While I was VMC, I did capture some "forward" scenery. Great day for flying, tops were...

Scanning instruments MDA is growing near Hope I pop out soon

Searching the newsgroup archives, I have been unable to find the technical distinction between LPV, LNAV/VNAV and LNAV+V approaches. I do not mean the legal and procedural differences. I mean what are the technical differences of the GPS that makes one more accurate than the other. In other...

My trip from EKY to MBO on Tuesday. One has to love that IA rating as it's quite amazing how to go from VMC to IMC in such a short distance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPIUS0xAF_4 http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N1943L/history/20071218/1947Z/KEKY/KMBO Rest of my aviation related videos...

I'm flying into my home base KHKS at night in a single engine airplane. At no point have I been outside of glide range to an airport. I am VFR shooting a practice full approach in Class C airspace going into a Class D airport. The controller wants me to descend to 2,000 feet five miles before...

If you are eligible for retirement from the FAA I hope you are counting the hours until January 3, 2008 (for CSRS employees.) For FERS employees, the magic day is December 31, 2007 according to this article. But regardless of which date you choose---you should choose one of them and GET LOST....

From today's issue of Parade 'magazine' (in the Sunday paper): Q: What has gone wrong with air travel? A: (from Marion Blakey) We're in the safest period in aviation history, but some of our current system is built on World War II technology. **Planes must fly on specific highways in the sky...

Hey this site really helped me.I am always in search of the best deals online. Check out another site that I came across at http://www.justfordiscounts.com that I came across.Great onestop marketplace.

The FAA is marching toward sole dependence on GPS. The FAA engineers and controllers are screaming from the mountaintops PLEASE do not single thread North American airspace navigation on satellite only. Yes GPS is awesome. Yes GPS has and will change our lives. But the signal is small and...

I was intrigued at Oshkosh with Aspen Avionics gyro and hsi steam gauge replacements. They have a LCD solid-state ADHRS gyro and HSI that fits into the same slots as the steam gauges. Anybody have any experience with these instruments? Are they shipping yet? I assume they are using these new...
