Biometric I.D.s by
Andrew Tubbiolo
Hey All:
So it looks like we are all going to get fingerprinted, iris
scanned, and who know what else. Is this news to anybody? How
much opposition is there to the new ID requrements? What do you
folks think and feel?
I'm creeped out. I think our country is being taken over by a
bunch of paranoid...

best glide speed of a warrior by
d&tm
the best glide speed of a warrior is quoted as 73 kts. but best glide should
be at best lift /drag ratio which I recall is at about 4 degree angle of
attack. But this must be a function of weight. So my questions are what
weight is the 73 kts based on ? and how much does this best speed change...

F-16 Strafes School - Followup by
Bob Chilcoat
Just as we all suspected. The Air Force (as reported in the Newark
Star-Ledger this morning) now admits that the pilot accidentally hit his
trigger button on the stick while changing attack configurations. Guns were
hot at the time. As every pilot with a yoke-mounted PTT switch already
knew,...

yaw damper for light twin by
Frank Ch. Eigler
Hi -
Can someone share some personal experiences of flying small airplanes
with a yaw damper? In particular, does the slipping crosswind landing
technique require the yaw damper to be shut off on final? Does it
significantly aid passenger comfort? When installed in a light twin,
does it mask...

How to Buy a Headset for the Wife? by
Kyle Boatright
I've got 3 headsets. Two sets are cheapies I got when I earned my license 10
years ago, and a nice set I bought when I finished the RV-6. Both models
are discontinued.
I'm happy with the nice set (Lightspeed 25XL's), but the cheapies have more
clamping force, and my wife is uncomfortable wearing...

Rough Field Landings by
[email protected]
Here I am with the big stick again. I can't recall anyone discussing
rough area landings or hostile terrain landings in a long time. For
example, forced to land (no matter the reason-you supply one) and you
are headed into a corn field, or a rice paddy, or trees, or perhaps
mountain slopes. Well...

What The Heck Is That Noise!?! by
Casey Wilson
I flew over to Apple Valley (APV) to put in a little cross country time
with a GPS MAP 196 in a Cessna 150 - and to indulge in a $150 diet-Pepsi.
This particular airplane is the only available rental at my home patch at
IYK, which we locals lovingly refer to as Inyokern International. (If you
