Embraer seating by
marc
Have a trip coming up via Continental Express on an Embraer RJ135.

seats on the right side will have more leg room. I'm 6' 5" and dread the
cramped seating.
It also look like the seats in front of the over wing emergency...

to the entire country but it will take a little time.
I don't want to have to pay for anything...

AVIATIONTOOLBOX: how I convert sectional maps to map chunks by
Kyler Laird
For the past few weeks, I've been obsessed with manipulating the newly-
available (from the FAA) raster sectional images. This is all new to
me so I've just been banging out code trying to get something
reasonable. The code is *horrible* and I don't recommend it as
anything beyond an example of...

have no dihedral. Hementioned specificlaly the Stearman PT-17.

both wings.

WAC vs Sectional by
[email protected]
I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was
looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service.
What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts?
Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas? Are all the same
airports listed?
Thanks
