sorry for the naive question, but what is all this fuss about Mxsmanic? may be am I missing something obvious, I must confess that I haven't read all his posts, but I am a bit surprised by the rather hostile reactions that he received; I mean, ok, he doesn't fly 'for real', and sometimes...

We had an incident a few days ago at my home airport with a couple in a Cessna 182 that never showed up after a local flight. It still hasn't been determined whether the flight ran into difficulty or where they went. The story was on the news last night and as we're watching the TV coverage, my...

The TAF for the upcoming 24 hours in upstate NY state: KSYR 062334Z 070024 07005KT P6SM SCT200 That's it. Although it probably happens, I personally never saw a one-liner up here before. I guess tomorrow is the good day for a fall VFR flight to spot the color. -- Peter

Where on the Web can I learn more about flying traffic patterns? I see constant references to them in various sources, but nothing that explains exactly when they are used, and how. For example, after reading for a while, I think I now understand what the crosswind, base, final, and downwind legs...

The 60-year-old pilot who left Bismarck ND bound for Fergus Falls MN was found in a slough. I spent four days co-piloting a Gippsland Airvan looking for him. The English born pilot remarked that our search area was roughly the size of England. We had 15 planes looking for him for about two...

Hi, I'm a student pilot, learning in Piper Warrior II's. I'm hoping that someone can shed some light on stalls for me. I understand that an aerofoil doesn't stall becauase of speed, it stalls because it has exceeded it's critical angle of attack. It can be stalled therefore at 100 kts (an...
