David Clarke Reviews by Paul
Hi I am a student pilot hoping to take my checkride within the next month (PPL/A). I am after a David Clarke Headset but am not sure which one to buy. Does anyone know of a good website that has independent reviews on all the Dave Clarke models, the only reviews I can find are either on the...

Chasing the front by Paul Tomblin
Last night I took off with a band of thunderstorms ahead of me and a cold front behind me, and rode a 70+ knot tail wind home. Man, I've never seen the scenery pass by so fast! Of course the downside is that passing through 3,000 feet on the way to land, it got really, really, really bumpy and I...

I'm having an issue with 2 students. One has a hard time lining up/staying lined up with the center line (no wind and xwind). I keep telling him "toes forward" and "Have the center line cut through your body" Still not grasping it. The other student, likes to be 10-20 degrees angled left /...

What skills atrophy first? by Michael 182
Flew today for the first time in two months. I'm a 1000 hour pilot, so it's not as if I'm starting from scratch, but I really felt slow on every thinking step. Had to refer to checklists to remember all the preflight, startup, takeoff drills, which made me wonder what I had forgotten on emergency...

Oh, the pressure! by Andrew Gideon
I've flown with DEs and with very experienced instructors. But nothing prepared me for today. In a new (to me) plane, I was flying with three other pilots on board. Yikes! In fact, it wasn't so bad until it came time to park at our destination. How four pilots could come up with five different...

Humor...some old, some no so old by Tom Sixkiller
While taxiing at London Gatwick Airport, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going?! I told you to...

Airplane turns by Dave
I'm curious as to how an airplane behaves during turns. It is my understanding that once you put the plane into a turn and return the yoke to a level position, the plane will stay in a turn but will straighten itself out slowly. Does the rate at which the airplane straightens out vary by model? ...

Strong crosswind landings! by Toks Desalu
I flew for the first time since months. The weather was beautiful today. METAR forecasted calm winds at my airport. I arrived at home airport and checked the wind stock. To my surprise, the windsock told a different story. I called in FSS and learned that the wind is blowing 14 knots, gusting to...

What's wrong with this invention (personal vtol) ? by Eddie
Hi Folks, I recently had a vision - in fact, it was the week of the Wright Brothers 100th anniversary - for what it's worth... single occupant VTOLs... Look at the quicktime video and tell me if my idea has merit. http://www.worlddatabase.com/flyz.mov

Electronic Flight Computers that work in Millibars by Cockpit Colin
Hi Folks, Does anyone know if any of the Electronic Flight Computers will crunch Millibar data, without having to convert to Inches of Mercury first? Would be interested to read any pilot reports of electronic units they own. (Just received my E6B-F from Sporty's, and it's going right back...
