But at an air show at San Marcos last year, when I asked a CAF member what they were "commemorating" with their new name, he replied, "The Confederacy, of course." I went through "Sentimental Journey" at an air show in Billings some years ago and got a bunch crew autographs on a picture of that...

Aero-News Propwash had a story this morning about a family that took off from Laconia NH airport, whereupon the father/pilot was overcome by CO fumes. His wife was likewise knocked out. The daughter, a non-pilot, contacted the unicom and brought the plane back to LCI for an apparently successful...

In a practical environment, when does cloud separation become an issue? A few months ago I was passing through the Denver Class B, and was just above a widely scattered broken layer of clouds. These were puff balls all within a layer of about 500Ft. Out towards the horizon they looked like a...

I've heard people say things like - it's illegal to start your plane by propping it by hand unless there's a licensed pilot at the controls. Others have said it's illegal to use the armstrong starter unless it's tied down. Does anyone know what the applicable regulations, FAR's and...

The FAA audited our flight school maintenance and flight records over the last few days. Not sure if it had anything to do with the fatal accident of a renter pilot last Sunday, but the timing is a bit too coincidental. They discovered that there had been a lapse in annuals and 100...
