He is not a pilot - yet argues with the most experienced of them. He does not participate in any threads other than the ones he initiates, which should serve as ample proof of his disingenuous nature. He throws out threads to provoke regulars here, admitting he "knows nothing" then argues and...

I've been trying to find some info on this thing for quite a while now. I've been to Raytheon's site and found specs for the normal Baron only. If some of you do own the P version, could you please tell me what engines do they have? Are they the regular IO-550s or are they turbocharged? And what...

I made a day trip out to the SouthWest Regional Flyin held this weekend in New Braunsfels KBAZ, Texas and thought I would share a little of what I found. Of course, once you have attended Oshkosk/Airventure, nothing will compare or measure up... but overall it was an enjoyable trip. I have to...

My grandson, on the cusp of not taking Santa seriously, asked me about him. He knows a little about aviation slang so I told him that IFR means I fly reindeer and that it's a special thing the FAA allows at low levels only one night a year, and that at low level it's not a threat to other airplanes...

See http://tinyurl.com/j3hy3 This "special software" bears an uncanny resemblance to the Microsoft Flight Simulator that I played with last night. In fact, I tried the very same thing on my PC last night that CNN is now using in its highly scientific demonstration today. I didn't mention my...

Apparently when you are the only provider of GPS data for the Garmin GNS430, as Jeppesen is in the US, you can afford to have **** poor after-business hours customer service. Jeppesen does not offer telephone sales or customer support on weekends. OK, fair enough since Jeppesen does have a web...

As all of you know, I am an extraordinary person of unimaginable wealth and inventor/artist/pilot/guitarist/scientist/philosopher/ scratch golfer/cat wrangler and observer of the mundane. Enough about me, more later of course VVBG Now for my latest answer to ending the Afghan...

Another in the long line of stories and articles about our Federal Guvment corruption and waste and fraud. Reminds me of the FAA and Southwest being little love birds and all cozy People we need to slice and dice the Government out of everything THEY ARE the problem. Washington DC is a...

I have been trying to purchase a Narco CP-136 audio panel for almost two years. Mine works just fine, but is cosmetically flawed, and I need a new faceplate. Unfortunately, Narco no long sells faceplates for this unit, so I am stuck in the used market, which means Ebay. For at least the last...

I'm starting the process of shopping for an airplane. I'm thinking of buying one in 2 to 3 months. I want a cross country plane that can carry 2 people and baggage/camping gear, and sometimes 4 people with light baggage. As a computer geek I'm very enamoured with the new glass cockpits, and I'm...

My son is 15. He'll be turning 16 in August, and starting his Junior year of high school. He's been flying since he can remember, and has many hours in the right seat. (He's got over 1500 hours as a passenger with Mary and me.) His first dozen or so hours behind the yoke were "IFR" -- because he...

Being a Rotax 912s driver, and being as how the Rotax prefers premium automobile fuel, I have been searching for places that serve automobile gas that are accessable to airplanes. I'm not having much luck. So, does anyone know of a database that tracks availability of MOGAS for aviation...

Thanx to Cal Pilot website for article on Oceanside Airport. Very interesting take on FAA grants, from Oceanside Pub Works Director. Bears some investigating.... From the article: " Public Works Director Peter Weiss sees a potential loophole in that policy. Weiss said the federal agency can't...

It's been reported that a single engine plane went down in the Hudson River today at around 11:51am EST near the Yonkers Pier. Two people were reported rescued.

I see from reading the FAA accident site, that aircraft hunting season has begun. Just this week... C210 got a deer C560 got a deer B1900 got three geese C650 got two geese One would think that sitting on the ground with a gun would be cheaper, but I guess there is more sport in using an airplane.

I received the following from an acquaintence. Don't know how many have read it but I found it interesting. Corky Scott ***Begin Quote*** What made an Airbus rudder snap in mid-air? When Flight 961 literally began to fall apart at 35,000 feet, it increased fears of a fatal design flaw in the...

My #2 VOR is the older analog King head feed by a KX-170B. It likes to get out of adjustment. The local radio shop has told me I should get the screw driver and adjust it myself off the VOT. If you remove the set screw that holds the knob on, there is an adjustment screw behind it. However, the...
