Hey Jay, I was out at Denton Municipal Airport (DTO) yesterday and noticed a building that had a sign on it that said "Hanger 10 Museum". I will see if I can find out more about it in the next couple of weeks. Maybe someone here knows something about it. Just thought that it might be an addition...

I have the above mentioned device, along with a 128 MB data card and associated loader. Recently, I acquired some nice topographic maps of the region I fly in and was wandering: is it possible in any way, by using some program or similar, to transfer some of these maps into the 196 basemap format...

I see these things available locally for around $40 bucks. They claim to be able to recharge cell phones and laptops. They also say they're good for trickle-charging vehicle batteries. My thinking is that a solar charger would be great for Sun N Fun and Oshkosh -- places where my cell phone (and...

On several flights at night, I found my Garmin GPSMAP 295's display didn't dim enough to suite me, so I finally decided to try to fix the problem. I went to a local professional photographer's store and bought a packet of neutral density filter material for a few bucks. It had 0.3, 0.6 and...

Okay, here's a weird one for the group: Radio waves are the same as light waves, except they're not in the visible spectrum, right? Here's why it matters: As we were departing from Muscatine, IA today (a beautiful day to fly in the Midwest, BTW -- clear and warm) after a great lunch, my gaze...

So how does the military propose to fly these pilotless aircraft among civil aircraft without causing a safety hazard? -------------------------------------------------------------- NEXT ON NOVA: "SPIES THAT FLY" http://www.pbs.org/nova/spiesfly/

Below is all the information I was able to find on the FAA.GOV web site at this time. I'm not sure the actual link to the Internet public meeting is actually among the links currently (February 22, 2004] provide on the FAA web site, but there is a lot of good information on how to voice your...

The wheels grind slowly (8 years later).... U.S. regulators said they plan to order modifications on 3,800 commercial airplanes to reduce chances of a fuel tank explosion like the one that brought down TWA Flight 800 in 1996. The initiative, once dismissed as too expensive and impractical for the...

This past tuesday, the cummulative flight hours between my grandfather, my father, my two brothers and I just reach a total of 100,000 flight hours, ranging from a Schweiser 2-22 glider all the way up to 747's and Gulfstream V's

no... if the seal is missing.. he has no idea if it has been discharged.. pressure indicator may show "in the green".. but dials have been known to lie.. if his T.O. says the seal needs to be there... then it needs to be there.. and the PILOT is in CHARGE... not the ramp agent.. not...

Hi all, I'm a Dutch pilot(PPL SEP) going to Kalamazoo MI for business. While I'm over there I think about doing some sight seeing by plane, with an instructor of course. Can anybody recommend FBO's in that area? I like small/regional airfields best, nothing that sounds like 'blahblah...

.... of new FBOs. Apparently they will only publish prices for FBOs that have a subscription with them. Of course they own the web site so it is their choice to do whatever they like. But it didn't use to be this way. Previously AIRNAV would encourage reporting fuel prices on all airports free of...

What is the usual time block you dedicate for each student's flight? We do 2 hr blocks. What I've found is the first 30-40 min is filled with prebrief, preflight, fueling, pulling plane out, and by the time the 2 hr block is over, only 1.2 - 1.4 is dedicated for flight

Does anyone own a zuluboard kneeboard and if so, how do you like it? Thanks in advance! -- Jack Allison PP-ASEL "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return"

I am curious to see if anyone else has experienced an increase in the frequency of being selected for more thourough security searches when flying commercially since obtaining a private pilot certificate. I am not a paranoid person, and am not really bothered by it but... I am well over 6 feet...

My son Austin passed his checkride yesterday at San Marcos, Texas. Just had to crow. I can't help myself. H.

Had a combined BFR/IPC today. Since I only fly about 100-125 hours a year, and most of that is cross country, I make it a habit to hire a CFII every six months or so for a good workout. Today was 3 hours plus, including the ground time. I also try and meet new CFII's every other time or so,...

Hello to the group ! Does anybody use the VertexStandard Pilot VXA-210? My question: The manual says that the led on top of the unit will glow green if it is receiving a carrier and the color will change to red when transmitting. With my handheld the led is only glowing green when receiving; the...
