Hoping to fly to N99 for the weekend from near Newark. Any tips for this destination or this route?

I would like to extend to my many friends throughout the world a very Merry Christmas and the sincere wish that you all have a peaceful, healthy, and prosperous new year. Dudley Henriques International Fighter Pilots Fellowship Commercial Pilot/CFI Retired

Does anyone know what the rules are around logging total time? My specific example is a person who flew literally hundreds of hours before getting a license (no solo privs either). He performed all the duties of the flight including take-off, cross country navigation, landing, communications,...

I flew over to Apple Valley (APV) to put in a little cross country time with a GPS MAP 196 in a Cessna 150 - and to indulge in a $150 diet-Pepsi. This particular airplane is the only available rental at my home patch at IYK, which we locals lovingly refer to as Inyokern International. (If you have...

Here I am with the big stick again. I can't recall anyone discussing rough area landings or hostile terrain landings in a long time. For example, forced to land (no matter the reason-you supply one) and you are headed into a corn field, or a rice paddy, or trees, or perhaps mountain slopes. Well...

This posting is in response to the "weather watch" article in the December issue of EAA's Sport Pilot Magazine. I hope you forgive the cross-posting to these three groups. Obviously, the article was not meant to be real deep on detail, but there are a few significant statements and implications...

Earlier today there was a post on this newsgroup titled "At Least He's Honest. Would This Attitude Have 'Saved' Light Airplane Business??" There was one long reply that told a story about a lawyer who got his just desserts. I forwarded the second post to my brother, a lawyer (we exchange lawyer...

I have been around here for a few years, and today I would like to extend my special thanks to the participants of these newsgroups. In spite of the sometimes bizarre politics and occasional outright hostility, there was still plenty here to help inspire me.... .... so this year I started flight...

I've got 3 headsets. Two sets are cheapies I got when I earned my license 10 years ago, and a nice set I bought when I finished the RV-6. Both models are discontinued. I'm happy with the nice set (Lightspeed 25XL's), but the cheapies have more clamping force, and my wife is uncomfortable wearing...

Latest issue of Bob Park's American Physical Society newsletter "What's New" is http://www.aps.org/WN/ It's not exactly "piloting" but it contains several fascinating news items re aerospace, missile defense, astronauts (who are often pilots), stuff that flies (or sometimes doesn't), the Space...

Hi - Can someone share some personal experiences of flying small airplanes with a yaw damper? In particular, does the slipping crosswind landing technique require the yaw damper to be shut off on final? Does it significantly aid passenger comfort? When installed in a light twin, does it mask...

Just as we all suspected. The Air Force (as reported in the Newark Star-Ledger this morning) now admits that the pilot accidentally hit his trigger button on the stick while changing attack configurations. Guns were hot at the time. As every pilot with a yoke-mounted PTT switch already knew,...

Bill Fox, project coordinator for the Lockheed Skunkworks (and the guy who donated all the unbelievably cool stuff in our "Blackbird Suite") is going to be visiting us again soon. Bill actually ran Area 51 for a few years, and was instrumental in the development and deployment of the SR-71 (and a...
