I am so lost. I am trying to better understand avionics. Specifically, communication electronics vs. navigation radio vs. navigation products. More specifically, these are Rockwell Collins' core franchises and I am trying to understand what firstly Communication avionics for a commercial...

A student pilot does a poor recovery on a botched landing and pushes it over and gets the prop, forces the nose gear up into the cowling hard enough to cause some wrinkles in the firewall. Recovers it on the subsequent follow-thru and taxis in to the ramp where the damage is discovered. Accident or...

What's the difference between this globalflyer and the one used last year?

Flew into Nashua last Sunday for business, topped off the tanks right after setting down. When I came back from business on Thursday, found the right tank down quite a bit. I was going crazy looking for the leak and checking the drain for seepage, until the line guy pointed out that he filled the...

When a limit order filled at 2.36 Just jumping in so I can dig out..... Goodluck to all.

This contains an angle on the story that I'd never heard befo that Holly's pilot radioed another pilot that he was in trouble just before the crash. http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/articles/2006/02/04/news/news01.txt -- Dan C172RG at BFM

I sometimes cut-n-paste crash victim's names into Google.groups.rec.aviation to see if that person has ever posted here. Too ghoulish? One person's name, about 6 years ago, came up. IIRC, his family was in the plane. With the spate of recent crashes it got me wondering, again: People here...

Gentlemen, (& ladies): As a frequent flyer, I've had my share of rough weather flying & landings. My most vivid memory is a flight from ORD to IAH a few years back in Tropical Storm Alison. As we started to touch down, we suddenly went back up, and were diverted because the control...

6 in South Carolina, 3 in Wisconsin, 3 in Florida (another Cirrus). A current AOPA focus is to make sure flying remains affordable for owners of "tired iron." They awarded a 1974 plane to a lucky winner in Colorado. On this web page a writer laments that GA planes don't have locking gas caps.

Did anyone watch the Globalflyer take off this morning? I thought I was going to witness a big fireball for a bit there. It took him forever to get off the ground, much longer than planned. Based on the wing flex, it sure look like he snatched the yoke back in a desperate attempt to get off the...

Unfortunately, my only access to Usenet from this place is through Google Groups. Our firewall blocks everything else. It is not so bad, but I notice that the first three advertisements that are shown next to the thread are from aviation injury lawyers all promising big settlements for people...
