Thanks for your response. I appreciate that you took the time to respond. 3-monitor cards can be had more easily than you think. Who said anything about "new". There are many second-hand locations, including Ebay, where you can get a good deal on a pretty decent 3-monitor card. In fact, although...

This form of noise would change (generally) with engine RPM. There are often 2 types of noises created. 1 - "static" noise (It's kind of hard to describe in text) 2 - Very noticeable RPM-related noise. Both change with RPM, as the engine fires faster. Both can come from the same source. Just FYI...

If have heard not one single tangible bit of evidence from anyone that requiring a picture ID for pilot license will do anything to justify the cost and inconvenience when it comes to enhancing national security. There hasn't been a single case of terroristic use of a GA airplane that I am aware...

I, like others, are turned off by the limited view that most low-cost simulators have. I'm interested in knowing simulators (PC-based) that support 3 monitors. Since video cards with 3 outputs can run below $100, I would like to invest in a good sim. Of course, price is a factor - so something...

This video aired last night on Discovery Wings, and I can't tell you how disappointed I was. They didn't cover the fly-in at all, preferring to focus instead on the "gee-whiz" parts of the show, including Burt Rutan, Bruce Bohannon, and NASA's ever-optimistic predictions of a flying car in every...

Wow, really? Are those people really known for their Literal Interpretation/Word of God/Bible Thumping? "God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle...

From Avweb's Kevin Garrison in this week's column: "Using the B-52 as our main bomber is the same thing -- in terms of years -- as using a three-masted schooner to battle the Japanese fleet in World War II." If you do the math, it's true. Amazing. --

Last week during the climb-out, I encountered clear-air windsheer (as opposed to thunderstorm-induced windsheer) at about 4,500 feet above the ground. The airspeed indicator dropped 15 knots while my groundspeed increased. After a minute or so, the airspeed indicator returned to its...

Hi Jay; I'm going to try something here. It may work. It may not, but I'll give it a go anyway just to see how you and the group in general react. If this post illicit a bad response, I'll call it a day on this issue. If it doesn't, I'll be glad to discuss it with those interested. First of all,...

The other day I wanted to fly VFR across RITTS, which is both the LOM for the ILS, and the origin for the NDB approach, to PAE. I was traveling east at right angles to the approach course. I decided to call Center, who handles approaches in these parts. Although it was clear VFR and I know he could...
