This question relates to VOR. I read that when VORs where increasing continuously in number in the beginning of their "career" there was a lack of available frequencies. So they increased the frequencies by increasing the number of chanels and they did that by decreasing the chanel width e.x...

I've got a friend of mine who is going backpacking in Alaska for a couple of weeks. He has expressed an interest in borrowing my handheld aviation radio to use in an emergency so that they can "flag down" an overflying aircraft. I don't mind lending the radio, but I don't think the radio...

Folks, As I train for my instrument rating, I'm in need of a CD based ground school. I'm familiar with the King courses, as I used the King PP-ASEL kit to help with my Private. I also took an instructor led PP ground school, which only taught me how much I learned from the CD's. Before I pull...

I have been to the EAA Fly-in at Oshkosh in 2001, 2004, 2005, and now in 2006. This was the first year that I attended that I wasn't working in a vendor booth in one of the hangers. I finally had the time and opportunity to walk around and look at everything (well, as well as anyone can). I was...

Can someone explain me what do we mean by the term frequency pairing? I met the term in an avionics book.The phrase is the following; The DME interrogation and reply frequency are paired with VOR frequency. Thank you

I had no idea that a flyover of the runway was illegal. But here you go: "After making two flyovers — a common, but illegal maneuver in which the pilot flies low over the runway — he made the five-minute flight to Rountree where he normally purchased fuel, said airport employees. According to...

Well, as I do about once every 2 years, I made the trek from Middle TN to the less-humid coolness of OSH this year. I've been a long time (5-6 year) reader of this NG and occasionally like to spout off my mouth about things I know nothing about. Well, this year, I was hoping to make the R.A.P....

For those interested (I know I was) in whether a runway flyover (or "buzzing" a runway) has been adjudicated in the U.S., I found this case: http://www.ntsb.gov/O_n_O/docs/AVIATION/4307.PDF

I recently moved to Washington, DC (to DC proper) from Georgia to start a new job. Since I was really busy with school last year, I let my BFR and Instrument currency lapse late last year! :-( Now that I might have some free time and a little extra money, I was wondering if there was a good...

I would like to know, how many of us, pilots are using the current technology out there to our benifit. I'm talking about GPS, E-Flight Bag, E-Aviation Charts. How long do you think before paper-less cockpits become the standard?

News today locally, anybody want to buy an aircraft factory?

Hi Everyone, Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I purchased a backup handheld radio for cross country flights, etc. and was wondering if it is permitted to use it so I can contact my family while flying over the local area. I would use a frequency not used locally for any other...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if there are reasons other than fuel conservation for flying a warrior slower cross country? Our club advises the pilots to fly cross-country at or below 2300 RPM. Is there a good reason not to fly at 2400 or 2450 RPM? Thanks for any help you can give. (I'm relatively...
