AOPA said: "Already more than 18,550 pilots, an unprecedented number, have spoken out against making the ADIZ permanent around Washington and against allowing ADIZs to metastasize to other Class B airspace." Truth squad: The overwhelming majority of comments do seem to come from interested...

How much did you last pay and where(what state) did get it done at? I'm just curious as to what people are paying around the country. Much thanks.

Nice short film (6megs) of a C130 doing 200kts at 250 ft over the English countryside. http://www.airclark.plus.com/herc.wmv

The damn things weigh half a million pounds, fly a third of the way around the world and they carry passengers in greater comfort and safety than any vehicle in the history of mankind. Now, are you fellas really going to stand there and tell us you know how to do the job better? Are you going to...

Just picking the collective brain: Anyone been here recently...? Any tips, traps or suggestions? Not intending to hang out there for long...just tossing darts at the map and it looked like a good destination for an out and back XC in a 172SP. North/West route going (P19-KPHX-AVENT-DRK-EED-KHII)...

My copy of the movie One Six Right just came last night and I've watched it twice already. Man, it's beautiful. Possibly the best movie ever made about flying and the love of flying. http://www.onesixright.com/ This is an unsolicited testimonial - I don't have any connection to them, and I...

A Dr friend of mine mentioned that he tried to apply as an AME with the local FSDO and was told "we already have enough AME's go away". As a capitalist, that really bothered me. Under what authority does the FAA regulate the supply of AMEs? Certainly we can all understand that the FAA must put...

Do any of you know if it's possible to rent a light airplane, or just go up with a CFI, in Jamaica? If so, where? I'm going there at the end of the month and it would be fun to do some flying. Barry

OK.. By "feel" there is a little looseness in the throttle valve bushings in the carb.. we gona look further. Thanks to all for some great thoughts/solutions. Can anybody suggest some tests to confirm an intake system leak that allows excess low DA air to lean the mix when the throttle valve...

This month's issue has some interesting and amusing reading. http://www.iflytimepieces.com/newsletter/Dec2005.htm

Two Stories of Doing The Right Thing ===================================== You need to read all of this, especially if you are from Chicago or ever travel by plane to Chicago. Story Number One: Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago. Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic. He was...

Something is missing from Newark, California shopping centers this holiday season, the Salvation Army bell ringers. They just can't hack the constant sound of small plane noise all day long. Even when they ring their bells loud and long, the noise from the planes drowns out the bells. Other...

I have been in the construction business for many years and I was wondering if any pilots here write off their flights for business. I've seen a few of our posters in here posting in cunstruction forums, but never mentioned aircraft use in there.

("Thomas Borchert" wrote) There's also a guy in Germany working on a conversion of the Duke to twin Thielert diesels - the big ones doing 350 HP. He's got one flying. See http://info.thielert.com/centurion/main/news_start.php?newsid=340 http://www.dukeb60.de/ (With pics)

I'm looking to find more information related to earning my high-performance endorsement. Primarily, I'm wanting to see if there is a good, clear, concise, simple website or book that explains the transition (in thinking and practice) from a plane that uses only a throttle and mixture control to a...

With the days growing shorter, and the temperatures nipping at the freezing level, we're starting to assemble our "survival kit" that we always keep in the back of our aircraft in winter. All this talk about idiots shining lasers in pilots eyes has me wondering if we shouldn't add a laser pointer...

I got an email response from the guys at Rocket Engineering about their PT6A conversion of a P-Baron. He mentioned they're finishing STC work for their turbine Duke conversion and I wondered which airplane might make the better platform for conversion. Their preliminary numbers for the -21 engined...
