What determines the boundaries between airspace managed by an en-route ATC center and an approach or departure center? I don't see any clear indication of which is which on sectionals. There are boxes saying who to contact for approach, but nothing that shows where the handoffs between terminal...

PILOT CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER AFTER FATAL CRASH (http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/766-full.html#194044) A 30-year-old man who was flying a 1972 Bellanca Super Viking when it crashed into a pond in northeastern Oklahoma on Saturday night, killing all three passengers, has been charged...

Asking this question to the group because I think the explanation given is fishy. I was recently a passenger on a S80. On the takeoff roll, the right engine lost power and the pilot aborted the takeoff. It was partly cloudy, about 30 degrees outside with a 15 mph crosswind. After the abort, the...

According to the type certificate data sheet for the Pratt and Whitney 62,000 thrust engine, the max continuous thrust should be ~52,000 and the 62,000 for 5 minutes max. The question is, does N1 @ 100% produce 52,000 lbs of thrust or does it produce 60,200 lbs of thurst? Any airline pilots out...

I remember seeing someone mentioning an OEM version of Lightspeed QFR X/C ANR headset that costs quite a bit less. Any idea where I can get them? I have one right now and like to get another one to replace the other passive headset for my wife. Thanks!

Anybody know the status of Alton Bay? I'm kind of assuming no runway so far this year. Can't find their site for this year. mike

"Nomen Nescio" wrote Nope.........just pulled it out of my ass. :) You don't really expect me to back that up, do you? Instead of comparing how much gasoline it would take to replace the change in reflected vs. absorbed, (whoever said what; it isn't important to my...

In older aircraft that require flight engineers, are these flight engineers qualified to fly the aircraft in an emergency? If not, what qualifications do they have? Do they have to be pilots (i.e., licensed)? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

All, I heard this weekend some rumors that Columbia is working on known-ice certification for the E-vade system on the 400, and that Diamond will be producing a DA42 with larger diesel engines. Anyone know anything more about either of these? --Dan

Just one word from me.... WOW! http://www.hsfeatures.com/features04/spitfiremkidg_1.htm

I'm going to Key West for a few days next month, and am going to try to fly a little. Any ideas on things to see? Brad

Is the need for carb heat affected by ambient humidity? In low humidity conditions, and also at very low temperatures, is the propensity for carb ice reduced thus 'eliminating' the need for carb heat? Just curious what the discussion might bring. Thx.

Just came back from a week-long winter flying trip from Seattle to Sedona, Arizona, exchanging freezing wet Northwest winter with magnificent views of red rocks and the dry desert air. My wife and I departed on Sunday 1/14, after a horrendous and uncharacteristic winter storm that froze the...

So here's the deal. You're at 11,000 feet doing say 120 knots over the ground and your sea level destination is 100 nm ahead. It's late, ATC is quiet, very little traffic, CAVU, you're pretty sure centger will give you whatever you ask for. What would you ask for? I figure something like this: If...
