To IDENT or not to IDENT, that is the question... What do you guys do when given a squawk code? Once you enter the code, is that it, or do you then hit the IDENT key, even if not requested? My habit is to always hit IDENT so it makes it easier and faster (in this area with realatively little...

The US Unlimited Team and friends are saddened to announce the passing of Marta Meyer today in Yukon, OK. Marta was an Unlimited Team member for two years and the Team Manager this year in Spain where she was awarded the "Most Valuable Volunteer" award for being the last minute warm-up pilot for...

Today was "kid day" for us. First, we took a lunch flight with a good friend and his son and daughter, ages 2 and 4. Then, later in the day, we did a sight-seeing flight with my 11 year old daughter, and one of her school friends. Both flights were outstanding! We had a high overcast here...

A new generation of barely audible, fuel-efficient passenger aircraft described as "flying wings" with "virtual windows" could arrive in two decades, engineers from Britain's Cambridge University said. "The noise level we're looking for would be to take it below the background noise that people...

This afternoon I went out for a few laps at Ohio State. Weather was pretty marginal, so I did 2 landings there, departed to an uncontrolled field about 12mi away for a few, then came back. I wanted to do a few more, so I was doing t-n-g's on the north runway. Each time, the controller said 'clear...

Has anyone heard any more that what AvWeb has reported about New Piper dumping Charles Suma as company president?

Anyone Going to Fly In This Saturday Its Free, And if You Call Them & Let them Know Free Food For Pilots Flying In I Guess http://www.cityofvancouver.us/News.asp?submenuID=16578&id=19226

Every time I think I have it sort of worked out, I fall in a heap. I've read through "See How It Flies", but it's still a bit beyond me. I can understand why a spinning ball would create a circular flow around itself, but I can't really grasp why a wing would. Does anyone have a lay explanation...

The following may be (?) OT for this NG, but I believe a lot of the people on this group are interested, one way or another, in manned space flight, so I'll pass the following along: WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 16 Sep 05 Washington, DC 4. THE POISON PILL: NASA UNVEILS PLANS TO VISIT...

I've heard of this being done before, but this is the first I've seen. They drove a Jeep under the plane to check out why the landing gear would not lock, then they used a stick to push the gear forward so it would lock (Cessna RG, not sure if it's a...

What do you do when requested to "recycle" your transponder? -- ------------- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI

Hey folks...... Being a low time pilot (65 TT), I have a question about float operations, and I suppose it may carry over to land planes as well. Anyway, yesterday I took a fellow up on a scenic flight around Seattle. What a perfect day for it too.....I never realized how pretty urban areas are...

I wrote this little proggy to get the local conditions at my airport quickly. I thought some you might be interested in checking it out. It's a little rough but I thought if you guys are game, it would be nice to have some feedback. It's free. No commercial...

A CFI I had lunch with last week suggested I should always do full stop taxi backs instead of touch and goes when practicing landings. I've frequently done touch and goes for about an hour when I wanted to do some quick flying, but I tried his suggestion. I also ran into an old AOPA Flight...
