We often talk about the BEST aviation movie here, but how 'bout the worst? Having spent nearly a year of my life showing aviation movies every Tuesday night in our theater at the hotel, I am in a somewhat unique position to comment on this. I've seen over 50 aviation movies in a row, and can lend...

An AP article that starts out "SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The federal government has taken billions of dollars from the taxes and fees paid by airline passengers every time they fly and awarded it to small airports used mainly by private pilots and globe-trotting corporate executives." gives a very...

I have a nice set of DC 10-13-S that I'd like to convert to ANR. Headsets Inc advertises in AOPA Pilot magazine and has a reasonable web site for products and services. They also have some customer testimonials of varying degrees of flattery on their site. I'd sure be interested in hearing other...

I asked my instructor on the weekend what a pilot is expected to do, should he come across a downed plane, or was in the vicinity on another plane that was going down, or making a forced landing. He said that you should tune to the relevant ATC frequency, and inform them of what has/is...

Had another flying lesson today. The plan was to go back out into the training area again today. Instructor said we'd do some more forced landing practice, some more stalls, trying to get a wing to drop, which apparently doesn't happen real easy in the Gazelle, and we'd also do steep descending...

Am I correct in assuming that changes to mixture diminish with increasing altitude? That is, a mixture change is more important and larger when going from sea level to 5000 feet than when going from 10000 to 15000 feet? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

All, Our club is in the final stages of purchasing a 1998 Cessna 182S. Much to my dismay, I noticed the lack of a 12-volt cigarette lighter (or it's 24-volt equivalent) anywhere to be found. (am I just not looking in the right place?) What are the options here? How difficult and/or expensive...

Is it "cheating" or bad form or against regulations to plan a route based on VORs and then fly it by GPS, particularly when the aircraft may be out of range of the VORs at some point along its route? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

I went up today to practice crosswind landings. The wind was about down the runway at my home airport so I went to Sky Manor (N40). This airport has a 2500x50 foot runway and requires vigilence in gusty winds. I did 2 landings and 1 go around (due to the gusty wind) using runway 25 at Sky...

Working on getting my PPL and I'm trying to figure out the difference between standard rate turns versus constant rate turns and their relationship to speed. IIRC, a standard rate turn is 3 degrees per second and turn you 180 degrees in 1 minute. The rule of thumb for the bank angle to achieve...

I'm looking for the artwork to make Fudpucker World Airlines (Pulaski TN, Serving The World Since It Was Square) business cards. I've googled two sites, one on infininet from ~cuban8 and another one on an ohio net ~cuban8 and both of them seem dead. infinet gives me a "server not found" and...

"I will be in town on a hit and run raid Friday to pick up my brothers boat and bring it to its new home." I'll be gone all day Friday - Bloomington and Eden Prairie. Are you over-nighting? Do you have a dark corner of the airport picked out yet, for the Bo?

I'm just starting an appropriately-named thread for this topic, as it seems like something worthy of discussion. The specter of full automation replacing pilots entirely continues to loom ever larger in commercial and military aviation. The old arguments against it are beginning to ring quite...
