John,

What type of flying in Europe requires an instrument
rating?


Uhm, flying in IMC? ;-)

Not sure what you're getting at. Please explain.

Are there/is there airspace where, although VFR, require one to have an
instrument rating to fly in it? (excluding airspace above FL180).

Oh, ok. Varies from country to country. In some, Class A starts at FL100.
Few have Class A around major airports. But generally, no, you can get
where you want to go. Next year, I'm planning a big Baltic tour, going
from Germany through Poland and Kaliningrade/Russia to Latvia, Letvia (?)
and Lithuania. The across the Baltic to Sweden and back via Denmark. Can
be done VFR, no problem (apart from weather).

You would have to own your own oil well.

besides yours? Jeeze!

Sure we can. They just aren't important.

most likely you have a bad sector (physically) on your hard drive, bad
enough within the boot sector. Most likely your harddrive is short before
dead. Download test tools from your harddrive manufactor and check your
harddrive


Constant seeking like that described suggests a problem with the servo
platter (which the drive uses as a reference for head position). If the
reference is bad, there's no way any utility software can recover from that.
Furthermore, having the drive powered on trying to fix it just increases the
chances that the drive will get further damaged (especially if the problem
with the servo platter is that a head crashed...there's probably debris
floating around in the drive at that point, which could lead to further head
crashes, as well as cause the servo platter to be damaged even more).

If the data is backed up, and there is 100% no chance of taking the drive to
a recovery service, then there's no harm in messing around with utility
software. And there's a remote chance it might help. But otherwise, the
best course of action is to leave the drive powered down.

Pete

where else can a man hop in his own airplane, load it up
with car gas, and take his family for a 9 day flight around the Great
Lakes, without ever once being required to fill out paperwork or bribe
some petty government official?



Where else in the world can a pilot be shot down for flying within a
38 mile radius of his nation's capital?


At least a dozen places.
