The manual for my aircraft gives figures for MOM and ARM at various stations, but it doesn't actually explain how to use these to calculate weight and balance. I want to place the load so that the aircraft neither pitches down nor pitches up. Can someone provide me with a pointer to an...

I was using a Frasca 141 sim today with an instructor when this question came up. Fullerton CA (KFUL) VOR-A approach. At WILMA on V64, flying the full approach. Do you need to turn outbound at the VOR for the procedure turn? Instructor says no because a Victor airway leads to the IAF. I say...

I am 24 and a college graduate.... I have had my Private for about a 6 months now and have built up about 100 hours. I have been considering a career as a professional pilot and was wondering what the best route to take as far as training goes. With aviation academies is it better to go to one...

I bought one of those $10 Event Radios at the Flying tent at OSH last month. They said they can be reprogrammed if you bring it back to them when they are at another event. (www.eventradio.com ) Naturally, the simple design has gotten me curious. I was wondering if it could be used to pick up...

I want to get current on my VFR Single Engine Land license but my eyes are not what they used to be. The strength I need for good far vision makes it so I can't read charts in the cockpit without taking them off. I figured I would try a progressive lens because I thought it would eliminate the...

On older planes, does the angle of attack change ? Does the prop angle relax like a motorboat prop does after 1 or 2 decades of constant use ? (fixed pitch of course) There are some older warriors on the field (20 - 25) years, and it seems that there props don't have the bite that the new warrior...

Today I was flying my Twin Comanche PA30 everything was great until after landing. Once I had the wheels on the ground I pulled the power back to idle, about three seconds or so after I pulled the power back the prop feathered and the engine shut down. I let the engine cool down for about 30 min...

Why are fixed-pitch props on PA-28s indexed to the 10-4 position from the front? a) To help hand propping? b) To minimize vibration? c) To improve performance? My money is on (a) but others disagree.

A colleague and I were discussing a plane that has been practicing aerobatics near his house, and all the noise it was making. I started into telling him how the prop was making most of the noise, and he seemed to think I was crazy for thinking that. I think I will have to show him something...
