Like many of you, I keep a LOT of pictures on my hard drive. Also, like many of you, I use Adobe Photoshop to crop and enhance my photos. I have had an infuriating problem with Windows Explorer (in Win XP, both Home and Professional) crashing instantly and utterly when trying to open a folder...

Seen in Avweb's AvFlash: CRASH STATISTICS, FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS According to the AP's research, pilots older than 50 were involved in 55.8 percent of accidents over a five-year period even though they constitute only 36.8 percent of certificated pilots. And, apparently, the older a pilot...

What is the latest edition of this book? I'm looking to purchase second-hand and can only find 2nd edition. Is it worth the money? Thanks. -- Mike

Hi, I'm a PP-ASEL student. Although the rental planes at my club have pretty good nav equipment, I'm hoping to supplement them with a handheld GPS that isn't expensive. Mostly, I'm of the "your chart isn't going to lie to you" school of pilotage and frugality. But your chart also doesn't tell...

Is it as easy to fly in countries like Kazakistan, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Russia, Pakistan as it is in N America? Do I just fill out the regular forms, get the visas and fly right in? Assume I have a PPL (Canada) and an experimental category plane like the CH 601 or 701. I've seen that in many...

I just received my CFI ticket (finally decided to go for it) and now I want to log flight training hours in a separate logbook. Any of you CFIs have a suggestion for one? I've searched the usual pilot shops on line and it appears that a logbook geared to CFI flight training doesn't exist... It...

Is there someplace on the web that I can find and search near miss reports. I searched this group, but didn't find an easy link. That, and my wife is ready to go to dinner, so I'm hoping for an answer by the time I get home. Thanks in advance Doug

I've always called the lights on wingtip and tail "navigation lights," but of course they aren't for navigation; they're to mark the aircraft to avoid collision, or so that one plane can fly in formation with another. What's the name that suggests this purpose? Recognition lights? -- all the...

I used to use a free online flight planner (maybe it was one that needed EAA membership - I'm not sure) It's big feature over the other ones that I used was that I could key in departure and destination airports and it would give an altitude that would clear all terrain between those points - I...

Hi, As a student pilot PPL(A), I'm considering to buy a brand new headset, though can't decide which one to buy. Checking all data, I can't discover any remarkable diff between both models. - The 10-13.4 model is the old time favorite, it seems. - The 20-10 model is presented as next generation...

I had to chuckle at that description of us seniors. Especially since most of us that qualify, excluding me, look more like coffee-colored cue balls from above. I resembled a Q-Tip at age 45. If you are one of those young whipper-snappers with concerns about our ability to fly, take warning. If you...

http://www.thegaryhouse.com/aircraftdamage/ I was down in a remote area of Mexico this last weekend and a truck backed into my aileron. I was lucky that the driver had a sat phone and I was able to call an A&P to come down to Mexico and swap it for me. However, all the local pilots, and the A&P...
