The great graveyards in Mojave and surrounding areas by
AA81
Hey,
I live in San Diego, and I am planning to spend a weekend spotting
some planes and taking insane amounts of pictures at one of the big
moth-ball sites.
I have called both Victorville and Mojave airports, and they didnt
really want to help me.
What to do? Stand around the fences? Does anyone...

Does an "IFR approved" GPS placard require database updates? by
Doug
In regard to insurance, unless your insurance excludes it, you are
covered. So read your policy, paying close attention to the exclusions.
I can't imagine that a policy would exclude coverage for something like
that. All mine requires is the airplane be in annual at the anniversary
date of the...

[email protected]
Hey everyone, if you want to contribute to a great memorial, and get a
tax deduction, please consider the Jimmy Franklin Heart Memorial.
Anyone who has ever seen Jimmy perform at an airshow knows what type of
entertainer and pilot he was (I think he should have been an
astronaut). So if you've...

Example hangar lease agreements? by
Tony Cox
Our local airport manager (61B, Boulder City, NV) is keen
to "rationalize" the various hangar leases that have sprung up
over the years. The existing agreements are, I'll agree with him,
quite a mess -- some permit "commercial" hangar use, most have
a different term, and at least one prevents the...

Piper Arrow electric fuel-pump by
MC
Anybody know how for long the electric fuel-pump
in a fuel-injected Piper-Arrow IV can be
operated for.?
indefinitely ? or intermitantly ?
The POH is somewhat vague as it says that the
electric pump can be turned-off in cruise and
I haven't spotted a limitation in the POH yet.
The reason I ask,...

AVIATIONTOOLBOX: plot GPS log by
Kyler Laird
I needed a break this morning so I whipped up a trivial little script
to create a sectional image from GPS data.
https://aviationtoolbox.org/Members/kyler/tools/trip_plot
It just barely works but it takes NMEA $GPRMC sentences and generates
a JPEG. I noticed that there are people who like to...

NC Engine Out Landing? by
John A. Weeks III
I took a long road trip over the weekend. At one point, I was
driving north on US-52 just turning onto I-74 near Mt Airy in
north-central North Carolina. As I made the turn, a very low
flying airplane passed over the freeway. It had one engine
stopped and the prop feathered. I think it was a...

Decalin instead of TCP? by
Bob Fry
With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will
start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy.
However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to
be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from
Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

The FAA has just issued an emergency AD that appears to ground _all_ Beech
T-34 aircraft, all models, until further notice, after confirming that the
Texas Air Aces T-34 that went down a few days ago suffered a wing
separation. It only allows a few hours of flight under very strict
