Haven't begun any training yet. Still considering time and cost factors. One problem is my job will only avail me to fly every other week, so I figure it'll take me at least the better part of a year to get licensed. My question is, after licensing what would be a likely minimum flight time...

I have a few questions about private piloting (the PPL license) that I havent seen answered anywhere. Maybe I'll learn about them during training, but whether or not I'll train depends on these answers: (1) Is there a central repository of rental locations other than the yellow pages? (2) After...

Hi all. This is my first post but I have been here throughout my training - great forum! I am due to sit my Private Pilots exam soon and was wondering what kind of questions I should look out for. I'm up to par I think, just want a heads up.

Home prices in most of the San Francisco Bay area have reached new high's, except in one city, but there is a catch. The city of Newark has many people moving out, and many nice homes for sale after months of being on the market. Why, you may ask? It is because of the constant drone of private...

http://www.fee.org/publications/the-freeman/article.asp?aid=4469 /excerpt These concerns overshoot the runway by a mile. The 9/11 hijackers used commercial airliners, regardless of claims that they could easily have used charter planes, because the superior security techniques used by...

what must I do and who needs to be contacted if I intend to put a runway on my property. I own 160 acres in Cochise County, Arizona along US Highway 191. JOHN

I'm looking for a list of private strips nationwide, or on a regional basis, along with contact information for the owner/operator. They'll typically be grass or dirt behind a home or group of homes, and without lighting/navaids they're not in the nav documents. I've certainly landed on such sites,...

Passed my written tonight, I am very pleased with the accomplishment ! Managed to do pretty well on it. I had been using the Sporty's Practice tests as part of my prep. I was very surprised how different the random collection of questions on the real test was vs. the "random" sample given at...

https://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/Privatization-Fight-Continues-230992-1.html Privatization Fight Continues By Russ Niles | June 18, 2018 To no one’s surprise, those in favor of splitting air traffic control from the FAA are busy planning their next move. After a last-minute grassroots...

AOPA has an article online right now regarding an FAA study to possibly privatize the operation of the FSS system. (http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2003/03-4-164x.html) AOPA says, as usual, that they will fight the privatization of the FSS system as vigorously as possible. I fear that some...

Well...should I? It's on sale at RS for $150. I live in San Diego and want to listen to PD, Fire, etc. Is the city digital? Anyone have this radio? What do you think about it? Any feedback would be swell... thanks, Bud

First, let me thank everyone who responded, at least you tried to contribute something. But my experience here points up a problem I have noticed creeping into this, and many other, newsgroups. In short, the question was not whether I needed a horse, but which of three horses to buy. You see, I...

I'm using Mozilla/Firefox instead of M$ Internet Explorer. I've also switched over to (free) Thunderbird, from using M$ Outlook Express 6.0. (So far I'm OK-happy with this combination) I've been reading these newsgroups with Outlook Express since 1998. I'm familiar with it and I like it. Comfort...

I have had my Airmap 500 since last January and want to get my first database update. Checking the Lowrance Extra's Website I find that since September LEI requires installation of Microsoft Net Framework to unlock Jeppesen Database Updates on the Customers SD/MMC card. After 6-hours to download...

Scenario: A commercial jet goes to take off from a runway (major airport here in the US), gets halfway down the runway with engines going strong and then slows down and taxis back. It goes back around again for another try and the captain comes on the intercom and says there was "a problem with...

So, after a few years of putting it off (actually..."after a few years of saving enough $$$"), I decided I want to get a private pilot cert. Welllll...from the time that I first wanted to do that (about 10 years ago) until now, I've had some changes in my medical status, which will *definitely*...

Hello everybody, I want to tell you what's happened during a Finnair flight from Helsinki to Milan, I'm not an expert of flight. During the entire flight, I noticed that the aircraft was continuosly rolling to right, and the pilot was correcting every 10-20 seconds the attitude. I noticed this,...
