Fear by
minoad
I originally wrote this for a psychology group, therefore I have
written it for that crowd. However, I may have more luck with a
response in this group.
I noticed a strange thing today about myself. I am at least a
relativly intellegent and capable adult. Since a young age I have had
an...

Oshkosh Forum Feedback by
Kyle Boatright
Does anyone know who organizes the forums at Oshkosh and have contact
information? One of the forums I attended was truly bizzarre and I'd like
to provide some feedback about it to the powers that be. The presenter was
off topic for most of the time, pushing an extremely unusual world view....

Cigarette Lighter Adapter- Cessna 172 by
[email protected]
I've been flying for 7 years now, and a few weeks ago I attempted to
plug in my portable GPS unit into a 2003 172 and ... I couldn't. The
"standard" cigarette adapter has been replaced with a smaller
something. I didn't have time to look too closely as to what the new
outlet is. The GPS was just...

Damned Lawyers by
Skylune
Yet another example of how the greedy lawyers are "ruining" GA.
The FAA and the "pilot" bear absolutely no responsibility.

Hi folks - I'm new to the group - I have my ppl checkride in a couple

Oil and the Future by
Bob Fry
Nice series in the Chicago Trib. Sure, it's written as doom-n'-gloom
entertainment rather than dry facts and analysis, but they gotta sell
papers. Does make one wonder about our own (general aviation) future.
Note: As a courtesy to r.a.p., and against all tradition, followups

Was The Idiot Legal? by
RST Engineering
Ignore if you will for the moment 91.13, the catch-all "careless/reckless"
provision that can getcha if you sneeze during the approach. Let's see if

I intend to buy a handheld. by
almostthere
Just got my ticket and I plan to purchase a handheld Nav-Comm for back-up
but it is said that they're useless at altitude without an external antenna
connection. What connector do I use (BNC?) and how do I go about doing this
on rented C172s? Any alternatives/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hey All...
I may have misinterpreted what I read, but did anyone else recently see any
mention of a possible plan to take DUATS out of the realm of competitive
bidding, give it soley to LockMart who would then remove it's status as an
