Spoilers, no spoilers? by
Amine
An Air Canada DC-8 crashed in 1970 because spoilers were deployed
before landing, which "by the book" is a definite no-no (cf. Air
Canada 621 disaster). How come the first officer (with over 5500 hrs
with that type of aircraft) made such a decision to deploy spoilers
while still in the air? What...

New Plan -- Going to Kill Devil Hills by
Jay Honeck
Looking at the prog charts for the next several days, Texas looks like
a mess. Moderate to heavy rains, thunderstorms, yuck. Our plan to
head south on Sunday is scrubbed.
So, we're looking at heading to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina instead.
The progs look great for at least three or four days, and...

1942 DC-3 / C-47 on eBay by
Michael 182
For about 25% of the cost of a new Skylane or Cirrus you can have a 1942
C-47 that saw combat in WWII. Of course, the maintenance and fuel prices
might be a little steep - not to mention finding a hanger big enough to hold
the plane. Still, wouldn't it be cool to land at some out of the way...

Gas Theft Nashua (ASH) by
Hank Rausch
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...

Winter Flying, all over again by
Jay Honeck
So this afternoon was perfect VFR, after the storms of yesterday.
Realizing that we wouldn't be able to fly for at least another week, due to
upcoming holiday commitments, it was obvious what needed to be done:
Fly -- right now!
Problem: Two inches of snow had fallen yesterday, on top of heavy...

Northwest CEO Richard Anderson Jabs General Aviation by
Larry Dighera
While the airlines consume 94% of annual aviation fuel sales*, it's my
understanding that they are largely exempt fuel tax**. So who's right
on the issue of ATC funding?

ID Theft -- Courtesy of the FAA by
quietguy
I've just received a "past due" invoice for the purchase of 250
gallons of Jet A from an FBO a thousand miles away on 20 May. The
invoice includes my name and address and the N-number of my airplane.
The trouble is: I'm not a jet pilot; haven't been to that city in
thirty years; the airplane with...

Fix for too bright GPS display by
Jon Woellhaf
On several flights at night, I found my Garmin GPSMAP 295's display didn't
dim enough to suite me, so I finally decided to try to fix the problem.
I went to a local professional photographer's store and bought a packet of
neutral density filter material for a few bucks. It had 0.3, 0.6 and...

Boeing came close to losing its Starliner crew capsule by
Larry Dighera
Boeing's competence seems to be eroding. I hope the new CEO can turn
it around. Perhaps Boeing's move of engineering staff to Chicago was
a poor decision. Such a financial-based decision was a mistake, and
should be corrected by moving headquarters out of the city that closed
Meigs Field, and...
