. xoxo. Anyways, I'm working on my IFR ticket. I'm about 12 hours simulated and actual instrument time in a real airplane, and able to put in about another hour in a week. No problem "flying" the plane on the instruments, but I find that putting everything together often results in too much...

Perhaps may of you have already used the AOPA's Internet Flight Planner. I'm assuming that the software is powered by Jeppesen's Internet Flight Planner. I have noticed that you can overlay the winds aloft on the chart. It looks to me that the winds aloft information presented on this program is...

Thought I'd share this. Sometimes the old-timers do some wacky things, and I wouldn't advocate this, but I think it's a good story. One 80-year old stick here has a nice 172. No hangar. When planning the next start to be in cold wx: Shuts the thing down, drains a full GATTS jar of avgas and...

Hi all, I got my FAA PPL ASEL almost 10 years ago in Maryland. I have done very little flying with it since, due to university, job, women and booze.....basically money. I feel I need cheering up and the lovely weather we've had over the last couple of days have had me looking at the Blue Skies...

The other day I saw a watch advertised as a watch for pilots that includes an altimeter. While I have seen these before for mountain climbers this is the first I have seen targeted at pilots. My first question in seeing it was "Where is the Kollsman window?" I tried to find more data online but...

I'm a suicidal pilot and I want to kill myself by flying into a mountain. How can I fly into a mountain, so that I will die for sure???
