Yesterday I flew down to East Hampton (KHTO) airport for the first time. With approach plates in front of me, I was preparing for my arrival when NY Approach called to ask if I had the weather at HTO. Scanning my Jeppesen approach plates a second time, I knew that there was no AWOS/ASOS (it is an...

I have always been under the assuption that I am allowed to split rental costs with my passengers, as long as I would have been going flying anyways, even without them. However, upon closer examination of the CARs I fear that I may be...

A little longish - sorry. Oshkosh question from a first timer: Staying at the dorm, will have car available - if needed. I want to sit on a (2) regular stackable plastic deck chairs and watch planes depart after the air show, etc - I heard this is the real show g. Two chairs works good for me,...

There's an online store with the title Ace's Pilot Shop. Has anyone dealt with them? Would you recommend them? Thanks! all the best -- Dan Ford email: www.danford.net/letters.htm#9 see the Warbird's Forum at http://www.danford.net/index.htm Vietnam | Flying Tigers | Pacific War | Brewster...

I saw one of these signs along I-78 in NJ. Now, I find it ***REALLY*** hard to believe that this particular sign is true. The highway is congested and with radar guns and all, monitoring speed by aircraft (copter maybe?) seems expensive and unnecessary. I know I've seen these signs elsewhere -...

I'm planning on taking my 4 & 6 year olds to their first Oshkosh. However, I don't think they'll have the stamina or patience to make the trip from my Central NJ location into OSH in one day. Probably would be best to fly a few hours and then do some kid-friendly activity for the rest of the...

Well.. maybe not... If you fly 2 people someplace and drop them off, that tends to be viewed a little differently than you and your buddies flew someplace, hung out together, then flew back... This operation sounds like an air-taxi service and that you just might be "holding out" (i.e. advertising...

There couldn't be an aircar in every garage unless we did away with the FAA medical. What about all the people with a "disqualifying" medical condition? Seems like just about any medicine out there is banned. Probably public pressure would do away with a medical cert for personal air travel. Also,...

I just recently got my ticket and finding it very expensive to rent planes from the FBO. Someone had mentioned join a club. Where can I find info on clubs in my area? I did a search on Google and only came up with one(real close) but the web site is gone. I'm in the Cincinnati, Oh area usually...

Well, this is embaressing; I had posted a question about a month ago about where to fly to in the Dayton area to go to the USAF museum and several of you kind folks recommended one of the outlying less congested airports (plus some others) with a good family-run (I think) FBO. Now that I want to...

I have the opportunity to spend some time in England in the next few weeks, and will be there for a weekend. Anyone know of any flight schools in the vicinity of Preston, Huntingdon, Lincoln, or Salisbury? Thought I'd occupy my time in a constructive way and see a bit more of the UK from on...

Jay, The guy that I bought my Garmin 195 from also had a ControlVision setup for the same price. I asked him which one was better and he unequivocally recommended the Garmin. He said that although the CV product had some nice features, it's not as reliable and really is a mess in the cocpit. ...

Hi! You probably know this, but Russia charges quite a lot of money for ATC service. So, whenever you enter Russian airspace, I think you're charged 100 US per 100 km or something. I may be way off, but I have considered flying to Russia, and found out it cost several hundred dollars in ATC...
