As 2005, a very eventful year for GA, nears an end, I'd like to ask all the pilots here to consider having a Troll of the Year award. Judging criteria might include the troll's: - persistance - ability to annoy large groups of GA pilots on a variety of topics - understanding of the problems...

Hi, I'm currently doing my PPL training after work and in evenings and it's taking me forever. I keep getting lessons cancelled due to bad weather and numerous problems with ATC staff. My main goal is just to be up in the air flying. I think eventually I'd like to become an instructor. Can any...

I talked to someone who has seen a drawing of the new Cessna line of models. It will be high wing and it is planned to have four doors. Up to six seats should be possible. The cabin width will be 54". The interior will be more "automotive" style with G1000 avionics. It will be as fast as the...

I wanted to pass along a great website for anyone who is in general aviaition and possibly looking for a plane. Their owner is honest and a real pro. Lots of inventory. Give their website a look. http://www.greatscotsaircraft.com --- MAF Anti-Spam ID: 20051003112725X2b8AdS0

I have a question regarding flying over Canada VFR without landing in Canada. For instance, if I takeoff from Saginaw, MI and fly VFR to upstate NY, I would fly in Canadian airspace. If I don't land in Canada, and since my flight originated in the US, what requirements, if any, are there for...

BOSTON — A jet was forced to abort its takeoff when another plane crossed onto its runway, the second such incident in just over a week at Logan International Airport. The American Airlines jet was moving into position for takeoff when an American Eagle regional jet that had just landed crossed the...

I'm reading a book about general aviation safety that I picked up from the library: "Flight Safety in General Aviation" by R.D. Campbell, 1987. The book suggests that for planes with hydraulic brake systems you should always check the brake pressure (by checking the pedal resistance) as part of...

Well the oil leak is fixed but I have another problem. Geesh it just never stops! The Airwolf remote filter adapter arrived as promised and it is a work of art. Very nicely machined parts. The one thing that was not readily apparent was the extra $200 for the hoses. The total cost for the...

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TRAVEL/09/30/ohare.expansion.ap/index.html "The plan drew intense criticism from some, largely because the 440-acre expansion requires the city to buy and raze more than 500 homes, displacing about 2,600 residents, and move nearly 200 businesses and a cemetery with 1,300...

If you were about to go on an IFR flight, and for some unknown, hypothetical reason you had to pick one instrument in the standard six pack that you could not use, which one would it be? -- Chris W Gift Giving Made Easy Get the gifts you want & give the gifts they want

Holy cow. A friend of mine (a like minded person who wants GA to be professionalized and regulated -- no its not regulated now) just referred me to this excellent piece of journalism. A bit dated, to be sure, but still relevant. (Ironic that this was being written at the same time GA schools...

Rec.aviation* North 40 Party DID NOT make the October issue of EAA SportAviation magazine. They even had a special North 40 party feature. We suck. :-( Montblack Next year we hook up with those South Africans!!

The Cirrus aircraft line is pretty impressive. One thing that is weird is the side-yoke. Anybody find any problems with that? It seems that a standard yoke would allow the pilot to have more control (i.e. control with two-hands). Feedback would be helpful. Thx.

Yet another question. Say you're at altitude and it's time to lean the constant speed engine(s). You pull back on the mixture control, the EGT starts to go up. The engine "sounds" more powerful as you do this. The prop might speed up momentarily until the governor does its stuff and keeps it at...

My partner and I are currently using aircraftclubs.com to schedule our Mooney. With just 2 of us, I'm wondering if there are less expensive on-line schedule options. aircraftclubs.com wants $60 to renew. We only require the web interface, no need for the phone scheduler (we both have GSM cellular...

Looks like the 2005 Nall report won't be as upbeat. YTD August #s looking pretty bad for GA, and that's before what seems a pretty bad September. The AOPA spinners will have to work hard on next year to keep the rose colored glasses tinted. http://www.ntsb.gov/aviation/curr_mo.txt

I'd certainly be a little wary of the new plane after reading this, but honestly, this does not surprise me in the least. The aviation industry is concerned with money first, safety a far distant second. http://makeashorterlink.com/?Q121218EB

Hi gang, Well here in just a few hours I will make my trip to Ohio to fly the Champ again. 6.2 hours in it now and hope to add alot to it Sunday and Monday. Drive at least most the trip tonight and hopefully my legs will still be ready to do some serious rudder work! ;) Wife usually drives me, but...
