Hi: I have just viewed a progam on the Great Blackout of 1965. During that event everything using regular electrical power, including all the ILS systems, radar systems and radio communications which normally suport landings, were inoperative. The program noted that "Aircraft in the air were...

I was planning a trip, and in addition to the standard Jepp charts, eFlyBook (another saga), I also print out a few of the FAA charts (larger, easier to read at night, can scribble on them, etc). However, on downloading and printing a chart from the Airnav website, I noticed that they were from...

If it becomes impossible to respect your descent schedule, is it permissible to ask ATC to give you a hold temporarily so that you can descend in the hold pattern until you're back to your planned descent? If so, is this a fairly common procedure, or very unusual? I'm thinking with respect to...

I'm thinking about a pulse oximeter. I've seen both Nonin and CheckMate units for sale, with Checkmate being noticably cheaper. Anyone have any experience with either? Is there a good reason to pay more for the Nonin? --Dan

I seem to have lost the insert for one of the injectors on my IO-360 engine. Can anyone recommend a source to buy these? I've heard from some shops that I may need to buy an entire new injector but I thought I'd ask around if anyone knows another source. What do people do with the inserts when they...

I have one of the Awmap PDA-based systems that preceded Garmin's 396/496 series and have recurring trouble with the Wx download de-activating if I don't fly for a month. This time I can't re-activate at all for some reason. Have any of you 3/496 owners had a problem with involuntary de-activation?

OK. Here's my resolution for 2007 - I've decided to make plans to fly to Osh Kosh in my 182 - a two day trip by myself each way from CYBW (Calgary - Springbank). One day if I the weather's good and I can find another pilot to share the flying. Trouble is, I don't want to join the heavy air...

I just got a CAP msg across the wire about 4 ELTs that went off at an airport all at once. (I"m not sure if I'm allowed to post the actual transmission or mission details). The first 3 signals were found in aircraft that had been broken into. The 4th signal was found in a van down the street with a...

Greetings: I was just wondering if anyone in this newsgroup has ever heard of Moncton Flight College? I was told that they are one of the leading and most recognized flight colleges in North America. The school has been in existence since 1929. I've been entertaining the idea of going for my CPL...

I was at BevMo the other day looking for some good scotch and couldn't help notice a bottle titled "Aviator's Gin". It even had a picture of an airplane on it. I assume its FAA approved, I was going to call my AME and ask if it was ok to drink it while flying, since it is "Aviator's" ;) -Robert
