....it's hard to see through, and good ol' Gulf Coast home boys like me should not mess around with it. Christmas Eve I was flying my daughter and grandson to Houston to visit my mom for the holiday. We'd spent the previous day in a little town NE of Houston. It was only about a 45 nm flight...

Your tax dollars at work HARTSFIELD ORDEAL Our sympathies go out to anyone caught in the incredible mess at Hartsfield International Airport on Saturday. I'm told that literally thousands missed flights because there weren't enough TSA screeners on duty to get the job done. Here is just one of...

Merry non-denominational Holidays to y'all out there. Things seem a little quiet here so here's my year-end wrap-up. Jeppesen plates are better because they'll get you in to a lot of airports when goverment plates won't work. It's because the minimums on Jepp plates are lower, because they're only...

Hi all, I've begun my IFR taining and at the same time, racking up the cross country hours required for the ticket. I'm wondering what things I could do in these strictly VFR XC's that would help me learn/gain insight or facility with the IFR world. So far I have: 1) My CFII suggested I plan...

Will be doing a flight from Toronto (canada) to Teteboro on monday (ifr). Looked at the preferred routing from Toronto to Teteboro. Don't have the preferred routing from Teteboro to Toronto. Would anybody know what it would it be? Any help is appreciayed Thanks

Hi, Could anyone tell me how the final reserve for jets is calculated? I know it's the fuel to fly for 30 minutes at 1500ft AAL in ISA conditions at holding speed... But what weight do you use? Do you assume that contignency fuel is burnt (so gross weight = TOW - TRIP fuel - ALTN fuel) when...

I've recently earned my instrument ticket, and feel that I still need to learn more about weather. I've been looking at several resources for study and would like recommendations on which ones are good/bad, which ones are best, other suggestions.

I want to go fly some approaches (and a hold) on Sunday. I know from experience that it's likely that the ceilings will be too high to do any meaningful approaches in IMC, but high enough that I might be in IMC during the vectors to the approach or at the hold. I figured I could take along a...

I know the aim para 5.4.7 says that aircraft approach categories are based on 1.3 times the stall speed in the landing config at max certificated gross landing weight (comes from far 97.3 (b). However I know I have read somewhere, perhaps the aim or a far, something along the lines that where the...

This is purely from a recreational IFR perspective of switching to JeppView. In other words, money, utility, and convenience are all important, in that order. Since starting my instrument training years ago, I have had a subscription to the paper Jepp charts for the central region of the US. This...

I have an instrument rating and just took a instrument simulator at a local community college where I flew about 25 hours of time on an Elite PCATD. I was not 'IFR current' prior to taking the class. Can I use this time to become current again? The instructor didn't think that the time was...

A few days ago there was a thread here discussing how to make use of digital NACO approach plates on a PDA. The context was that a pilot could download and print fresh current charts for the primary airport(s) and alternate(s), and have charts for other airports available on a PDA for use in the...

Check out http://www.dappa.nl/crash.htm This video is about a (then) highly classified project to land a C-130 at a soccer field, and get it back airborne from the same field with even more load than during landing. The landing test caused the Herc to virtually hover over the site, and the video...
