Is a bird substantial enough to break turbine blades? by
Ricky
Bertie!
(Or anyone who may want to speculate)
I'm in the last stages of A&P training (already a "P") but I can't
figure out if a big bird would be substantial enough to break
conpressor blades, or interior compressor or turbine blades for that
matter.
I'm guessing the first stage blades would...

Tornado in Washington state by
gatt[_2_]
Yesterday was the first time I've heard a real EBS broadcast in a long time.
I finished gassing my jeep and going to lunch when I heard it. They said
there was a tornado warning and described the location. It's a peculiar
feeling when you realize they're describing right where you're at, but...

Minimums? by
Brian[_5_]
While watching a lot of landing videos and whatnot, I hear "minimums"
called out as an aircraft approaches its landing field.
From what I've been told, "minimums" indicates the decision as to
whether or not the field is in sight, correct?
so if minimums are not met, go around? Am I right in...

FAA user fees by
Scott[_5_]
My AOPA renewal notice included another one of those blurbs about user fees.
Increased fuel tax, flight fees for turbines, etc. I wanted to throw out a
couple of questions....
What if ATC fees were limited to revenue flights, regardless of engine type?
Would dual instruction flights be...

I've been wondering how long it takes you to prepare for your international
flights? Specifically, what do you have to do to meet the legal
requirements of flying through specific countries and where do you get that
info?

screaming across the sky at 600 miles an hour while the passengers
inside enjoy in-flight movies and complimentary beverage service.
However, as advanced as...

Tricky examiners by
Dallas
I've been greatly amused by examiner trick stories lately, like Dudley's
story of an examiner bringing in his child to have the CFI candidate teach
him lift. Or the one where the examiner failed the flaps and asked the
student to find the ground frequency of the airport at the same time to...

Comm Checkride Today by
[email protected]
Today I earned my commercial pilot's license -- whew!
The morning started out less than ideal with low ceilings throughout
the area. But the TAFS suggested clearing, as did the satellite image.
The FAs were way off (again).
I called Don and said I'd be at EKN by noon. After preflighting...
