http://www.faa.gov/avr/aai/evt20040503.htm#60539 If you look at report #6, this happened just recently near me. Seems the pilot had engine failure during take off and attempted to make it back to the runway. He didn't make. He didn't miss by far, only shy about 100-yards, or so the news print...

Hi All... I came across a term the other day I'm not familiar with... Back in WWII, when a new plane came off the assembly line, a WAC would take it up and "Slow Time" it. What was/is "Slow Timing" an airplane? Was it for single-engine fighters only, or was this something done to all

I was approaching class C airspace for landing at the primary airport for which the class C airspace is designated and I listened to the ATIS. The ATIS said "all frequencies are combined on TowerFrequency". So I tuned to TowerFrequency and made my radio call to approach. The response that I...

I'm a student Pilot planning to fly into Reading with my instructor on the Friday of this three day event. There are no airshows on the first day. Any advice for a first timer to the event ? Thanks in Advance.

(I wished that I didn't see that show) I was flipping through channels the other day and I came across a show called, Real TV. They did a story about a plane crash. They showed this because one of passengers survived. He or she parachuted out of a spinning aircraft. The amateur video showed the...

Several months ago there was a discussion here about fire suppression tankers. I mentioned that a certain airline was looking into the modification of 747s. Some people expressed the feeling that it would never happen. Take a look at www.evergreenaviation.com Look at the Supertanker icon...

Hello. Back in work today. Boo. I'd like to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you to George Patterson, Jay Honeck and Margy Natalie and their families for making my stay in the US so wonderful! I may come out with some stories as time permits! :-) Paul (What time is it? Jetlag? Me?)

I'm not sure where to post this, so please re-direct me if there is a better place. I have a project where I have to determine the correct GMT time offset for the arrive staton of a flight. I'm doing this for a company that deals with airline carriers all over the world. All that I have to work...

Paul Sengupta, of these newsgroups, has just departed Cedar Rapids for Chicago, en route to Washington, D.C. to spend some time with Ron & Margy Natalie, and to see the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. We had a marvelous time with Paul -- five whole days of eating, drinking, flying, and showing him...

Back in late 2002 and early 2001 I had a commercial student who was an Army Reserve helicopter pilot. He was called to active service for the invasion of Iraq and had to leave, but he finished his training in Mississippi and Texas before he went overseas. I had not heard from him since then and...

I am looking at getting a canopy cover from aircraftcovers.com , any one use them - are they good ?

"Doug Vetter" wrote in message ... The SR20's limit of 12000 hours is still too limiting, IMHO, but I can appreciate the FAA's conservatism regarding any new (indeed revolutionary) design. I was told by a Diamond rep...

Mary flew the four of us over to the "Black Angus" restaurant in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin for a wonderful Mother's Day brunch today. The winds were light, the sun was warm, and Midwest and Mississippi valley was bathed in an intense spring green that almost hurts your eyes. Her flight,...

Allen C Perkinson Airport/Blackstone Army Airfield (KBKT) in Virgina has a control tower, at least part of the time. It also has class G airspace to 700 ft AGL. What are the procedures for operating at a tower in uncontrolled airspace? When are you obligated to communicate with the tower, other...

Saw just a real short clip of something on the Disc channel tonight about how methane clouds affect aircraft. Lower pressure causes the plane to drop because of reduced lift, and the altimeter to read a climb because of the pressure change. I think this show may have been in the context of bermuda...

What's necessary in a logbook to indicate that a WINGS level completion is serving in place of a BFR? AC 61-91H merely mentions in (6) that the completion serves in place of a BFR, and in (9) mentions "...logbooks or other proficincy records...". At various WINGS-fulfilling events, a form is...

The UTICA TRSA (western New York) is situated around both towered Oneida County (KUCA) and non-towered Griffis Airpark (KRME), formerly Griffis AFB. It is centered on KRME, so perhaps that is where the radar antenna is. The outer perimeter of the TRSA is a large circle, about 14-15 nm radius,...
