I have a 6 year old son. I'm only a student pilot. However, in my youth, I thought flying was totally cool - yet completely out of my domain. I lived in a very rural area and we didn't have much money as a family. I really wish I had been exposed to it earlier. In fact, I wish I would have made a...

A while back I posted a question regarding how to approach studying for the private certificate. Thanks to all who responded. I've been methodically planning out my long term and short term vision of how to go about my training. Now that I have been digging into the web and my Sporty's "What You...

There was an aviation safety magazine that I used to read as a student pilot that reported on accidents and fatalities from the previous month. Investiation comments were included, and if there was any conclusion as to the cause of the accident or fatality, it would be printed as well. I'm sure...

Are airline op-specs public documents? If I wanted to see, for example, the op-specs that United Airlines operates under, could I get a copy from the FAA?

I'm looking for aircraft rental in the Algarve if anybody can help. So far I've only found one in Faro but there maybe other nearer to Albufeira? Thanks, David

Does anyone have a POH or experience flying a Cessna 414A? I ask, because we are flying one down to Daytona next month with 7 souls (incl 2 pilots) and light baggabe (60 lbs each). I would like to know the W&B calculations. I have flown this airplane with 4 pax and full fuel and it handles...

Anyone know of, or have experience with, renting a plane and instructor from any of the northwest islands in the Bahamas? I'm planning on being there in July and would like to do some sightseeing & flying (I'm PPL/IA). Would rather do typical "FBO-style" instruction/checkout, but if there are...

The manufacturer is EYQUEM (French) and the p/n is LCS50 (could also be 3526). email me if you have one (bd5 at bd5 dot com)

Peter wrote: I've had two of the above fail in under 3 years. I would guess that the failures are related to adverse voltages coming in or an adverse load on the output. The electrical environment of a small plane can actually be much more abusive than a modern car, because of the wide...
