One of David Copperfield's most impressive illusions was making the Statue of Liberty vanish. He raised a curtain in front of the crowd, made a very poetic speech, dropped the curtain and the statue was gone, with just a couple of helicopters circling overhead shining spotlights on the bare base of...

Yet another myth -- that frangible bullets will provide an adequate defense against terrorists while minimizing the possibility of aircraft damage. Frangible bullets explode on contact with a target. Good idea if the target is the skin of an aircraft or the skin of a terrorist. Bad idea if...

Considering how restrictions pop up without warning, I'm not surpised: WASHINGTON (CNN) --Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and despite heightened security, 157 planes have violated airspace over presidential residences, CNN has learned. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)...

As you may know, the FAA folks in Oklahoma City put out a quarterly "Designee Update." It is intended for instructors and designated examiners, in the interest of standardization and getting the word out on policy changes. It is available to anyone at the AFS-600 site. I asked Paul J. Maenza, its...

I did some follow up viewing of the NTSB site and found at least one thing that stood out for me. I was originally scheduled to take a club checkout that night, and scrubbed for surface...

Let's say someone (not me!!) is crazy enough to buy a Cessna 152 or 172 and instruct in it at a towered airport. What sort of ratio of Hobbs to tach time would you expect? The value (I've played with .85 up to 1.0) has a surprisingly large effect on how much you have to charge for the...

Hi all, I just read my latest Aviation Consumer and AOPA Pilot. I have been in search of a backup option for my attitude indicator. I have inquired and looked at the electric AIs. The responses were luke warm to the quality of the AIs. If I am spending $2000 for an instrument I expect it to...

Can anyone advise diffrence between CNX-80/MX20 and 430/530

It's not our fault Tom Ridge just doesn't get it; nor does the NSC's "Anaconda" (or whatever the name is) program that monitors all electronic communications doesn't have the proper context filter to discount all our rec.aviation postings. Hey Tom, the weather gets lousey this time of year, so we...
