Do sim pilots log their time? by
Watson
To whom it may concern:
Do sim pilots log their simulator time? Is so, why?
Possible answers:
To show simulated currency.
In furtherance of a simulated rating.
To prove to the simulated FAA that simulated flying happened.

Input jack on a Baron by
Greg Farris
I am aware that in real planes most commands are made through the
conventional flight controls - however there are some operations that
simply *require* a keyboard. Fuel management, for example.
Let's say I want to fly my Baron from Boisie, Idaho to Khartoum. I have
done in-depth...

OT - Kane Aero Company by
Matt Whiting
Maybe a little OT for this group, but does anyone know what happened to
the Kane Aero Company? I was brushing up with my E6-B in prep for the
commercial checkride and I have an old Kane Aero MK-6B that I got with
my private pilot kit back in 1977. I got to wondering what happened to
this...

High wings and structural strength by
Mxsmanic
When I look at pictures of high-wing aircraft, I don't see anything
between the wings that would provide structural strength--in some
aircraft there's even a window in the top of the cockpit between the
wings. What provides rigidity and structural strength in high-wing
aircraft? I somehow expect...

Today, I'm thankful for ATC by
Bob Fry
November 22, Northern California.
Coming back from Placerville to Davis in the late afternoon, the sun
is left of my heading, low. While visibility is greater than 10
miles, it's hazy with the Central Valley moisture not willing to burn
off completely, typical of the winter months. Until a storm...

Understanding fuel servo maintenance by
Robert M. Gary
The fuel shop fixed my fuel servo by replacing the spring that holds
the fuel regulating diaphragm. The tech said the previous spring was
very stiff and he replaced it with one that was softer. Does that
indicate that the previous spring was broken (i.e. stiffer than it
should have been) or does...

Healing for the soul... by

Those who have seen the movie "One Six Right" know how perfectly the
film's director melded video and music into a seamless, majestic
representation of flight. Since the very first time I saw the movie --

of that theme song my...

Thrown out of an FBO... by

Decades ago, in my younger days (okay, waaaay younger), I was asked to
leave a drinking establishment or two, and I've had a few women show me
the door, over time...but I never thought I'd ever be asked to leave an

To our amazement, it happened to Mary and me today.
It all started pleasantly...

Where does "mountain flying" begin? by

At what point does uneven terrain become "mountain flying"? Do
rolling hills represent a problem? Is there a threshold of ruggedness

I started flying training in 1990, but lack of time and money meant
that I stopped after about 10 hours, before going solo.
Last year, my wife bought me a block of lessons for my birthday, and I
