Hello: Does anyone know of other professions that require psychological evaluation of "attitude" to weed out overconfident candidates, etc? Thank you. Best Regards Steve Sousa

Hey all, Just figured to pop in here to share what I am compiling on You Tube, which is a number of videos 97sh percent aviation related and the other 3ish percent weather and nature related that some may find interesting. Just figure to pay back the favors all have given me on these groups and...

I thought I had no problems with distractions. After all, I'm a highly trained and experienced pilot. But today I was taking some friends out flying, and just as we were leaving the class C airspace I noticed a bit of a strange noise - and I looked over and realized the door wasn't closed. I...

This missive come from a retired Captain friend: An airline pilot is a confused soul who talks about women when he's flying, and about flying when he's with a woman. Asking what a pilot thinks about the FAA is like asking a fireplug what it thinks about dogs. * The only thing worse than a...

Being on Google Groups, I frequently get advertising links on my email page that is somehow linked to my interests as defined by what groups I'm in. Recently, something called Jet University has been popping up a lot. I placed the url at the end of this message. My question is: Who are these...

I'm looking for the best course to prepare for the private pilot written exam. Can anyone recommend a course that helped them pass the test? Does anyone have experience with the 'King School' DVD's? Please advise.

Went yesterday. Damn I forgot how much fun Sean Tucker is to watch...

Whew! Okay, you guys in the Southwest don't need to share EVERYTHING. It was 94 degree here at 11 AM, with enough humidity to curl my ever- diminishing hair. Even though it's a beautiful day here, Unicom is dead -- ain't nobody flying till the sun gets lower... On the flip side, our outdoor...

Trivia contest at the airport. On the Aspen approach, KASE, there's an approach LOC/DME-E. Never seen or heard of a DME-E...and can't find anything in the Terminal Procedures book. Help!

Well, we made our every six or seven years trek to fudge heaven, better known as Mackinac island (pronounced 'Mackinaw' for the non cognescenti)... I don't tend to go to tourist traps but the co-pilot is very fond of them, so off we went... The night before I went out to the storage side of the...

Why does the FAA persist in using a coded system for printed weather reports and forecasts? They act like kilobytes are expensive to transmit today... The last time I saw a teletype machine was in 1974. And the codes aren't even consistent, M for minus degrees in a METAR and - for minus...

Maybe a stupid question, but .......... How do you get type rated on aircraft that are not easily available for hire? I mean for example, say I did all my training in a Cessna 152. I wouldn't be type rated for a 182 would I? So, I want to get a 182 type rating, but no airfield near me has one...

We just returned from attending the wake for John & Sheri Horn, of Cedar Falls, Iowa, on our way home from a few days in Wisconsin. Of course we forgot to pack "funeral clothes" in the rush to get out, so a stop at K-Mart was required before we could use the airport courtesy car to drive to the...

Mary just had an interesting idea. The grounds are now open for campers in OSH, right? Does anyone know if this includes the North 40, or is it only open to car camping now? If the North 40 is open for campers, we could fly up there next Wednesday, pitch a crappy old tent (to mark our site), and...
