Why are airplanes white? by
Jay Honeck
My daughter innocently asked that question the other day, and I gave
her the usual "because white reflects heat better" answer -- but that

61.113 and expense reimbursements by
Ron Garret
I'm a private pilot. If I fly myself to a business meeting for a
company that I work for and they reimburse me for the cost of the
flight, have I violated FAR 61.113?

Happy Thanksgiving, all! by
Jay Honeck
As pilots and sometimes cantankerous aviation supporters, it's hard to
remember how much we have to be thankful for. It often seems that
the whole world is conspiring against aviation, with oil prices, users
fees, airport closures, Noise Nazis, and a hundred other issues all
coming together to...

A340 Engine Test Gone Wrong by
Phil
An Airbus A340 jumped its wheel chocks and broke the tie-down chains
during an engine test, then leaped forward and into a concrete
barrier. The entire nose section broke off. The crew was injured,
but thankfully no one was killed. Brand new airplane with exactly one
flight in the log. Now it's...

Busses and braking. by
Bertie the Bunyip[_19_]
From a friend at Airbus.
It all sounds about right. Also, since it took them so long to close the
thrust levers, I'm guessing this was not a flight crew, but a
maintenance crew. The parking brake is either on or off on that
airplane.
The reference to EPR's of 1.25-ish would pe about 30% of max...

With FBOs now charging $50-$100 to fill a tank I've started calling
around to see where else I can get O2 in the Sacramento area. It
appears that all the welding gas companies no longer fill bottles at
all. They exchange bottles and then send them off to a central plant
to refill. One company said...
