406 Beacon Reviews by
Helen Woods
Anyone seen any good written reviews of the various 406 EPIRBs and PLBs
currently on the market?
What about exeperience? Looking for something small enough to keep on
one's person but that would have decent battery life in cold water.
Needs to be waterproof too.

AOPA credit card --- WARNING. by
RS
If you have an AOPA/MBNA credit card then you should check the APR on your
last statements. MBNA has been raising the APR on AOPA cardholders, even if
you pay on time.
So check your credit card statements and call AOPA credit card services to
complain.
And also call MBNA to drop the rate back down.

Anyone here have any experience with rentals out of KLEE in Central

Years and would like to get checked out and do some sightseeing. I'd
prefer to rent a C172. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks

According to the camera specifications, the actual file format is...

Impossible to ditch in a field (almost) by
mindenpilot
I live out West, where there are hundreds of miles of empty space in every
direction. When flight planning, I often say, "I can ditch in that dry lake
bed, or that field, or if I have to, on that road."
In a couple of weeks, I'm travelling to North Carolina to visit my brother
for the holidays. ...

I found this while browsing the TFR listings. The TFR isn't
unwarranted, in fact it sounds like a good idea, but a little advance
warning would be nice.
