I like my privatized airport :) by Byron Miller
I have been learning to fly and hanging out at KLNS (Lancaster PA) for years, and it has been a privatized airport tower ever since i've known about it. Nicest controllers, safe airport and friendly skies. They're not any more incompetant than a "guvenment" controller and most certainly they...

Cessna 150 Price Outlook by Charles Talleyrand
Anyone want to guess the medium term price trends for a C-150? By medium term I mean the next five-ish years. My guess would be "more of the same" meaning increases of a few percent a year with mild year-to-year variations. The only effects I can see are whatever's left of the upward...

What is a "short field" for a PA28-181 by Roy Page
I have been trying to determine the length of a runway that would be considered a "short field" for my Archer II. The two instructors that I work with on occasions disagree on the amount of flaps to use for takeoff at gross weight. One guy says my airfield with a 2,800ft runway is a "short field"...

Simple & Cheap Tricks for your plane by Jay Honeck
This thread was actually started on the Cherokee 235/236 owner's group a couple of days ago, and it was quite interesting and informative. However, that group is quite small by comparison to rec.aviation -- so I thought I'd open this topic up for everyone here. The challenge is this: Post all the...

Building chasing airport lights -- Attn: Jim Weir? by Jay Honeck
Today a pilot-guest had the coolest idea for the side-entrance to our lobby: "Chasing" lights recessed in the drop-ceiling tiles, leading to the main lobby area, that look just like the "rabbit" lights that lead to the approach end of a runway! (Background: Over half of our guests come in the...

Challenger Crashe at TEB by Jon Kraus
It looks like the Challenger skidded off the runway and crashed into a warehouse at TEB. Isn't this the same kind of plane that crashed on takeoff in Colorado? It looks like the plane remained intact so hopefully the passengers and crew are...

RF interference issue again (esp. for E Drucker and Jim Weir and other RF wizards) by Snowbird
OK, we're still having our RF interference problem and our avionics guy pleads 'stumped'. Meanwhile we're going nuts whenever we need to get radar vectors for the ILS at our local Class D or when we depart IFR to the SE. Here is what we know 1) the problem is intermittant. occurs both at night...

AIRNAV not publishing fuel prices... by Victor
.... of new FBOs. Apparently they will only publish prices for FBOs that have a subscription with them. Of course they own the web site so it is their choice to do whatever they like. But it didn't use to be this way. Previously AIRNAV would encourage reporting fuel prices on all airports free of...

Distance to Airport by JimC
I have been thinking about the drive to the airport lately and how nice it would be to live a little closer. I have a brother that is also a pilot and he lives about 4 miles from his plane. Mine is more like 25 road miles away and requires a half hour drive. That really makes a difference when...

Lightspeed Comes Through! by Jay Honeck
As many of you know, while at OSH 2003 I had one of those inadvertent "once-in-a-lifetime" conversations with the president of Lightspeed Aviation. The story goes as follows: I've had three pair of LightSpeed headset -- two 15s and a 20XL -- that I have purchased over the last four years. The...

WiFi at AirVenture (was:Does your airport WiFi?) by Dave Butler
On a related note: there was a thread here earlier about wireless access at Oshkosh. IIRC the sad conclusion was that there was no access very nearby. I wonder whether anyone has contacted EAA and requested that they get on the stick and provide WiFi on the North 40. Is there any chance EAA would...

What would you buy with a 50k budget? by Kirk Ellis[_2_]
A fellow pilot/friend and I have been knocking around the idea of doing a 2-way partnership on an aircraft next summer. I have had my ticket since 1998 although I have only 150 some odd hours total. My friend has about half that. Relatively speaking we still consider ourselves newbie "students" but...

cost of ownership by The Weiss Family
I know this has been asked a million times, but I have to ask just one more time. I would love to know your real-world costs of ownership for your fixed gear single. A 172, cherk 180, etc. I'm trying to figure out how much renting I have to do before it becomes plausible to own. Any advice as to...

I Want My Own Bird by Yeah_right
I really want to make a good decision on this so, I'm giving myself plenty of time, two years, to get my ducks lined up. I've want either an Archer or an Arrow with an IFR package. I've started looking at and pricing hanger space at selected airports in the Houston area where it'll be based. ...
