Now that my son is taking flight lessons, I'm letting him fly in (Read: Mary is relinquishing) the front seat more often. This plants him squarely in front of our panel-docked Garmin 496, the latest-and- greatest portable GPS from Garmin. We've flown behind this unit since OSH '06, and he has...

Aviators, My wife and I flew to Williamsburg (JGG) in our 177RG on Sat. and stayed until Sunday. On base at Williamsburg I noticed that the airspeed was really high. I raised the nose and pulled some power. I had 20 degrees of flaps in and that is what I usually land with. On final the...

GA Pilots are not the only pilots who are subject to noise complaints. Read this story: Subject: A Wake Up Call From Luke AFB, AZ Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there...

We had a vacuum pump failure a month ago, and husband did something I think is worth mentioning. He keeps a number of Post It notes stuck to the notepad he uses for flight plans and notes, and stuck one on the face of every vacuum driven instrument. He said he's so used to scanning everything to...

Is it possible to have more than a single V-LE (maximum airspeed with gear extended without damage)? I know that some airplanes have more than one V-LO (max gear operation speed), one for retraction and one for extension. Perhaps there are configurations in which there are different V-LE speeds,...

Many of us have been fascinated with the air-car concept including me, and I've been keeping a close eye on the companies working on it (Moller not included!) Terrafugia (www.terrafugia.com) is working on a "conventional" folding aircraft and pal-v in the Netherlands are working on a...

Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone out there might be able to answer this for me.....after flying for over 30 years I finally had to have cornea transplants.....my vision is now BETTER than 20/20, which is unbelievable......does the FAA allow a Class III to someone with cornea transplants?? I...

This story I saw on yesterdays news has be a bit perplexed. Why is it that the crew of the landing aircraft never saw the encroaching aircraft before the controller spotted the near disaster and warned them to execute a missed approach. With two heads in the cockpit, I assume the pilot was flying...

I thought this was an interesting addition to available GPS products - around $500. http://www.bushnell.com/gps/gps_onix400.cfm?section=General%20Use

Ours is! Jet Air (the FBO in Iowa City) is planning to offer a 25-cent-per- gallon discount during Oshkosh Week. They will be extending this discount on all their full-service avgas throughout the week of Oshkosh! Between this, and the fly-in pool party, look to see the ramp at Iowa City...

Every year some people decide to fly into the world's busiest airspace with little or no pre-flight preparation. Last year (2006) was the worst I've seen, mostly due to an accident that closed the field and caused a HUGE traffic jam in the holds around the lakes -- but also because a surprising...

It's hard to believe the number is so low... As of the end of 2006, there were 597,109 active pilots, according to the AOPA Jan. 12, 07 newsletter which cites the FAA's estimates. This number has been declining slowly over the long term, down from a high of over 827,000 pilots in 1980. The numbers...
