Rookie by
[email protected]
Hello,
I am not a pilot - but I play a lot of flight simulator. I wanted to
talk to some real pilots about flying proficiently. I feel like I am
pretty good on simulator, but I have no way of knowing b/c I don't
have feedback from an actual pilot.
I was wondering what makes a pilot proficient? ...

Citabria Fuel-Flow Problem by
quietguy
The A/C in question is a 1974 Bellanca 7ECA, re-engined with an O-320
so it's effectively a 7GCAA. It belongs to the Offutt AFB Aero Club
and has seen very little use, often sitting for weeks at a time until
a week ago when I began taking dual in it 2-3 times a week to get my
tailwheel...

FAA NOTAM System Out by
Gig 601Xl Builder
According to AvWeb...
"About midnight last night, the FAA Notam system crashed," AOPA's Chris
Dancy told AVweb early on Friday morning. "Pilots need to know that the
system is not being updated, and we don't know at this point how long it
will be before it is back on line." Flight service...

Why would you guess they started saying this on the ATIS? by
tman
KHFD;
"Beware closed field 1 1/2 m NE". I presume it must have been a NOTAM
also -- (but it's not there anymore).
That field has been closed for 10+ years, and they just started
appending this to the local ATIS. Haven't heard of any incidents, or
changes to that closed field.

I'm looking for some book recommendations - but the request comes with a

A couple months ago I went with my wife to a quilting exhibition at the
local state fairgrounds. Quite nice quilting work, actually, though of
course I saw only one other male there. When we arrived the parking lot...

A little confusing up in Newark by
Gizmo
Has the FAA ever admitted to any error on anything EVER?
It seems like it's always the unions or the pilots NEVER the FAA
I think the FAA is full of ****

Question about TRSA - KPSP by

The other day I was flying to KPSP (Palm Springs, CA, Class D) which
is in a TRSA which I was not participating in. I was about 10 miles
out and called tower to get setup for landing and they told me to
contact approach. I switch to approach and told them I wanted to land
and the controller...

Thanks for the invite to speak ...
Jim here.
With avgas at $5 a gallon and heading north, and with EAA taking a tack
decidedly against the little guy in favor of heavy iron, and after 35
straight years of attendance at Oshkosh, and with all of the academic load
I've taken on in the last year...

Canard or Mooney by
Linton Yarbrough
I don't get the reason for the Cozy or the Velocity (which isn't selling
anyway) from the standpoint of speed, comfort, etc. The $$$ come out the
same for the most part and you don't have composite issues or trouble
getting things fixed. Pusher/tractor preferences aside, am I missing
something that...
