For years I have been talking about the danger of using a JFK runway (22 right) that has a bird nesting area (Joco Marsh) at it's end. http://pages.prodigy.com/uzac16a/joco3.jpg Rather than redirect this runway to its original location, over the middle of Jamaica Bay, the FAA and the Port...

Can anyone tell me what the limits are for flying over built up areas in the UK (not associated with a licenced airfield) I can't see anything obvious on the CAA site. --

You should all go and check this site out. It's for an Air Race, and lets you choose the camera angles and fly right along side the pilots! Let me know what you think www.redbullcopilot.com/cp.html

I have watched many TV programmes about passenger planes crashing and breaking up and being ingulfed in smoke and fire and many people dieing and how the owners try to make planes safer which looked liked hopeless inadequate attempts they were suggesting and people would still die the way planes...

Does anyone have any experience with running 100LL in a generator? I picked up a small and quiet (900 Watt) genny a week or so back for Oshkosk, and am considering the fuel options for it once we get there. The manual was of only minor help, mentioning a minimum of 87 Octane "unleaded". Its the...

Folks, I'm hoping you can help me diagnose an odd EGT gage behavior. Background: 1965 Aircoupe with Continental C90-16F engine (has vacuum pump). Plane based in N. California so freezing temps not a factor (pre-heat not needed nor used). Has both a CHT and EGT on different cylinders, with the...

My brain has totally gone blank for this simple question, I know I should have paid more attention in school !!!.

Was just wondering if anyone could provide insight as to why when I scan the posted Seattle Center ATC approach and departure frequencies on any of my mobile or base scanners I can only pick up transmissions from the aircraft and not ATC? Thanks! MT

Hi, Recently I was in a 737-700 during my trip. I noticed that the landing speed was quite high. Anyone know what the normal landing speed is for this aircraft? Also, I noticed that there was another way to slow down the aircraft after touching down. Was it reverse thrust of the engines? I...
