Arrow Starter Problem by
[email protected]
Writing for a friend with an Arrow that is having a recurring starter
problem. The battery has been charged and tested, everything else checks
out, and there is the right amount of voltage at the starter. It works
once or twice (in a row), then if left overnight, it won't restart (no
response from...

The Two-Handed Flare by
Larry Dighera
The article below is printed (in its entirety) in the current issue of
AOPA Pilot magazine. In it, Rod Machado mentions the controls being
"mechanically sticky."
It has been my experience, that the bar attached to the control yoke
which goes through a bushing in the control panel often binds as...

Question for whirlybird drivers by
[email protected]
When reading performance specs for helicopters I see the terms IGE and
OGE. I understand they are in ground effect and out of ground effect,
but when the altitudes are given they don't make sense to me. I thought
ground effect was up to one-half the rotor span and anything above that
would be out...

Trial flying lesson by
Ice blonde
Hi
Due to a freak chance meeting with a pilot in training and an aircraft
engineer, I have managed to talk myself into taking a trial flying
lesson.
Can you help with a few questions I have, having never been up in a
small aircraft and being scared of heights (well on tall buildings
anyway) But I...

Another Story by
Michelle P
As promised the reason I did not fly my airplane on the Angel Flight.
Some time about ten days ago Elizabeth (my airplane) developed an oil
leak. My airplane went from using a quart about every 10-12 hours to a
quart every 2 hours. The belly was wet. I had an obvious leak. I looked
at the drain...

Why does the Pilot parking empty first? by
Al
Ok, the air show season is running down, and once again I ask, Why does
the Pilot parking empty first. For years I worked at the Medford National
Air show, Medford, Oregon. We had a Pilot/Performer parking lot that held a
couple hundred cars. Without exception, the Pilot parking emptied first.

Issues around de-ice on a 182 by
Andrew Gideon
One of the members of my club has proposed that we add TKS de-ice to our two
182s. Apparently, such a system is to become available later this year.
My reaction at first was negative. After all, in our near-NYC location, the
utility of such a tool is limited to a few months a year. Surely we...

Copilot training program by

are not interested in becoming private pilots themselves--the spouse or

on making that...

PDA Software by
Mortimer Schnerd, RN
I just bought a PDA and am interested in knowing what aviation software you
gents have found useful. Just a cursory look at some of the usual suppliers

Pilot nearly crashes in IMC, Controller helps by
pimenthal
Hello All!
I've been hunting high and low for an audio file. Came across it a few
years ago. It's an actual audio file of a controller or FSS giving the
pilot instructions to recover from a stall? spin? The pilot flew into
IMC became disoriented, asked for assistance and panicked. All the

Homebuilt Float Plane by

Got to fly a homebuilt Challenger on floats while up in northern
Minnesota for the crop dusting season. What a kick! I hadn't been on
floats for 35 years and finally got to add one more hour in the SES
column. Also managed to put in over 450 hours in helicopter spraying in

Antique Airplane Checkouts by
john smith
There is more to flying antique airplanes than manipulating the controls
and taking off and landing. There is also knowledge of the peculiarities
of the type, make and model.
The idiosynchrasies of starting, operating and shutting down the engine;
hand propping, fueling and securing the aircraft....
