Clarion County (KAXQ) in western Pennsylvania has a comissioned AWOS-3 that transmits on 118.275. However there is no METAR report available for the field. Is there any particular reason why this is so? It seems a waste to have a functional weather reporting device that can't contribute its...

For once, the weather yesterday turned out to be better than predicted -- thus proving that the weather gods smile upon us occasionally. We were in Wisconsin to attend my Uncle's funeral. At 94, he was the last of his generation. It was at his house that I first became enamored with flying. It...

I'm flying into Midway from Boston in a few days. Weather and TFRs permitting, anyone have an opinion on whether going in IFR or VFR is easier? I'm thinking with all the O'Hare traffic that it might be simpler to go IFR, but don't want to have them assign me a low altitude over...

Does anyone else get any spam emails from a porn site? It shows a pictures saying FREE LIVE TEENS, ENTER HERE. Its connected to a subdomain of site.voila.fr I don't know how they have got my email address, becuase I don't use it for anything else but posting here! But I do know it is VERY...

If I'm descending slowly with a relatively nose-high attitude - say, in preparation for a short field landing - does the high angle of the pitot tube have any effect on indicated airspeed? (I suppose all designs are different - say this is a 172.) If the descent was steep, the relative wind would...

What do you do when you're flying over remote wilderness and see a fire? If I'm talking to ATC and mention it are they going to report it? Should I talk to fligh****ch or the nearest FSS? What sort of things would be useful to note about a fire, besides its location? -- Ben...

I prefer doing long controlled mush descents instead of classic stalls because it provides more of the really valuable part of the stall practice, experience with the aircraft at absolute minimum airspeed. Today I rode our 172 N down about 2000 feet with the yoke full back and the airspeed on...

I'm debating whether to try for my IFR rating in the spring. I won't have the time or money to start till then, but that's not the point. The big question is, is it worth it right now? The only flying I really do is cruising around, mild aerobatics, some formation stuff, and occasionally a trip...

Well, I lived through my biennial torture session yet again. One hour of ground-grilling on Friday, followed by 1.2 hours of flight testing yesterday. We had a great time (my CFI on this flight was a good friend, which always makes things easier) and I think I'm about as proficient as I've...

A few weeks ago I was in Las Vegas. My company has its offices just down the street from one of the runways. Since I had a 3 week hiatus from working on my IFR ticket, I was drooling everytime I saw a plane land. One time I was about 1/4" before the threshold at a red light. One plane passed by...
