I'm a partner at Jetgrade Aviation Recruitment (jetgrade.com), based in Switzerland and UK and we are currently looking to expand our operations to the US, the Middle East, Australia and other worldwide locations. We are now receiving a substantial demand for our services and we would be very...

I've been giving some thought on to how to replace DAFIF navigation data now that it's going away. And I think the solution is a community of pilots, software developers and others interested in aeronautical data developing and maintaining data which can be shared by all interested parties. I've...

i heard this on NPR and shot a quick note. sure i'm a geek, but a content and happy one :) http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5036615 ----------------------- Michelle I love NPR, and support John Sifton and Human Rights Watch 100%, but what's up with the jab at "planespotters"...

Does anyone remember the name of the small 4 engine high wing freight hauler that looked a lot like a C-130 that was washed in hot water and machine dried at high heat? If I recall correctly, it was proposed to build the production aircraft in Puerto RIco. blue skies John

AIRLINE – The Aviation Business Simulation www.airlinesimulation.com Have you ever dreamed of running your own airline? Convinced you could build a super airline if only you had control over aircraft types, seating configuration, advertising, service levels, pricing and maintenance? Here is your...

If I hear this ONE more time on Unicom, I'm going to scream! Is it *really* possible that one can be a certificated pilot, and *NOT* know that it's impossible to receive AND transmit at the same time? Is it *really* possible that a certicated pilot would transmit a statement like this into the...

Skylune, Looks like AOPA has decided to eliminate the middle man: http://www.aopa.org/satellite/ Good luck with your continuing R&D efforts on home-built sattelite jammers. :O)

TV station KCAL recently aired this video showing how three partners in a Columbia 400 use their aircraft for fun and business. This high quality promotional video is just what GA needs to get before the public to swell the ranks of airmen: http://www.flycolumbia.com/.docs/pg/10375

Thanks, Jim! "Jim Burns" wrote in message ... For those of us who subscribe to the NACO charts (government charts, vfr or ifr), you can now do it online directly with the National Aeronautical Charting Office. Cheaper than...

Does playing/having played sports increase ones situational awareness while flying? (Just one of those things I think of while sitting in the lifeguard chair protecting and empty pool.)

I'm stumped. What is the high-wing airplane in the foreground please: http://home.gci.net/~sncdfalk/Warbirds/nicetry.jpg -- Dale L. Falk There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing around with airplanes.

How much longer is the Loran system going to be active? -- Roger Long

I remember reading somewhere that there was a camera mount mod that went under the nose of the Diamond DA-40, but I can't find it anywhere -- not even Google. Anyone know what I am talking about?

I am submitting this entry to solicit information and/or advice on how to continue. My desire is to fly professionally as a pilot. I have not yet decided into which category of commercial aviation I wish to follow (airline, corporate or bush pilot). I have attended two schools since deciding to...

The Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) is the only computer readable file of data about airports, navaids, waypoints and airspace available to developers and users of free or cheap flight related computer programs, or web sites. For a year now, we've been trying to convince the...

I read a report about a local airport with this statement: "With existing Instrument Landing System (ILS) technology, inclement weather, such as fog, is not a material obstacle to commercial service operations." I was under the impression that the FAA says fog is 1/4 mile visibility. Can anyone...

I'm wondering if anybody in the group has flown behind http://www.mc.com/vistanav/index.cfm ?? It looks pretty interesting. Jim

We were discussing Engine failures in single engine aircraft with a constant speed propeller.. Not catastrophic but more like fuel starvation types, where the prop keeps windmilling.. The question is on getting the maximum gliding distance from the windmilling prop.. It is assumed that a higher...

Paraphrased from Sport Aviation this month: Hitting a Canada Goose exerts the same force as dropping a 1000 pound weight 10 feet. Yikes! That would make mince-meat out of ANY GA aircraft. We've got large flocks of (what appear to be) sea gulls congregating on our field over the last few weeks....
