Given President Bush's stated intent to deploy National Guard troops and their UAV to patrols the southern US border, what can airmen expect in the way of additional TFRs?

The FAA has an online flight review course at the following link... http://www.faasafety.gov/ALC/ You have to register and turn cookies on, but it provides all the information your flight instructor may ask you during the ground review.

Despite this fact, we had a great turnout for our second pilot's movie night. Our invited friends included the owners of: ....a Bellanca Super Viking ....a '29 Travel Air Biplane ....a Super Cub ....a Swearingen SX-300 ....an RV-10 kit (in progress...) ....a Glasair II ....a Rose Parakeet

Hi, My fractional 172SP had an unfortunate "incident" with another pilot and is grounded for the foreseeable future. I am planning to upgrade to a 182S in the fractional fleet. Any comments and/or suggestions to make the transition as smooth as possible? Thanks,

Like cars, mass production of personal plane is possible. Mass training of pilots who can work on pay equal to pay of car-driver is possible. But still i do not see planes in sky. Reason is costly fuel. Am i right?

Went to get my medical early in the month because I knew it would have to go through FAA channels due to a few small problems. Had all the proper paper work and test reports filled out in advance and the Medical Examiner took them to send everything in together. It's now the end of the month and I...

NASA has recently answered with a world press release to the prediction of a mega tsunami, created by a possible impact of a fragment of the comet SW-3 on MAY 25, 2006 in the Atlantic Ocean. This prediction, based on a clear and precise psychic communication, was confirmed by many sources. This...

Okay, You guys helped me plan my Canadian fishing trip flight last summer. This time I'm headed to Oregon. Unfortunately, due to fuel prices we've made the decision to take the airlines instead of the Cherokee. We'll fly in to Portland and be spending a week in the Astoria, Seaside area. So far...

Hi, a business trip in fall will take me to Rochester/NY and I will probably have at least two weekends to do some flying. Any recommendations on where to rent a Skyhawk/Archer-class airplane, preferrably IFR-equipped, in the area? My research on Airnav did not bring up too many results, but...

I love aeroplanes im in secondary school and I would love to become a pilot thts airline, any recommondations???

AOPA has an article online about this guys plane crash. What I would like to know is if he flys planes the same way he drives his cars? David

At our 2-day Big Kids Toy Show fly-in last weekend, I had the pleasure of flying a "CT" with their demo pilot. If you're not sure what a "CT" is, see: http://www.fly-flightstar.com/pages/ct.htm You can also see some pix of it he www.BigKidsToyShow.com I'm here to tell you, this thing is an...

I am in the market for a 135 operation. I am finding out that going through the FAA would take about a year and I don't have the time to wait that long. If anybody has one for sale or knows someone that is thinking about selling it, let me know. Thanks Aaron

I have landed because of mechanical failures maybe once every 300 hours. I had a vacuum pump fail (VMC, I'm happy to say), an alternator (In the clouds but soft IMC), a magnito failure that took out a bank of spark plugs (probably IFR, I don't remember for sure) -- things like that. Nothing really...

82UL was developed several years ago, to be easily produced from automotive fuel. Instead of being produce by only one or two manufacturers as 100LL is, 82UL could be made by any oil company. This should make it cheaper to produce. 82UL is NOT a replacement for 100LL. It is my understanding that...

Saw this on Digg: http://digg.com/movies/FedEx_time_lapse_video. It's a timelapse video of FedEx planes landing in a storm. Real? I think so....

Does anyone have any suggestions for the best (safest) VFR route from Mpls to Seatle? -- Mike Schumann

OK, how about some advice on whether this is feasible. I've got a friend in Canada and I'd like to visit him by plane. My aircraft is an antique 50 years old, w/o an electrical system or a transponder. I've got a handheld radio. The aircraft is light sport aircraft legal. I have a private...
