Ladies and Gentlemen: Is it not time to move beyond trying to spar with the witless? He can't afford to fly so he tries to convince us we can't either. Small aircraft are beneath his contempt.... however he has no ability or experience in them. Large aircraft are more his forte apparently,...

Hi, does anybody know the procedure for the renewal of an CAA JAA SEP Class rating after 2 years. Is it enaugh if the FI signs for the check flight in the Class rating within the second year or do I have to deal some way with the CAA?

Recently I purchased the VFR Air Chart Systems booklets. It comes in two parts for the East and West regions. Although it seems to be a very handy format, I was more than a little irked that it was not an exact reproduction of the NACO charts. They had arbitrarily decided to crop the charts around...

Skylune posted AIP grant information trying to pass it off as a GA subsidy. Airport Improvement Program (AIP) The Airport Improvement Program (AIP) provides grants to public agencies---and, in some cases, to private owners and entities---for the planning and development of public-use airports that...

best credit card airline Hello I'm looking for a credit card that rewards airline miles and I was wounding if you would give me your recommendation. I don't mind paying an annual fee I pay my cards off every month so the APR is not an issue I want the most miles I can get. I want no black outs...

Flight schools will be required to have a background check in addition to all the other nonsense? Anyone else heard this?

Now that I have again provided the amount of annual funding deriving from GA fuel taxes (including AV GAS and Jet A), compare that to 2005 capital grants to airports by looking at the ACTUAL 2005 DATA below. (Note that these figures DO NOT include the $150K annual operating subsidy that many GA...

I thought I was frustrated by Garmin not clearly indicating CTAF's in their database, but found out that the frustration was due to my not knowing where to look. While maybe no one else will suffer from this problem, I'll take the risk of exposing my error in case someone else may benefit. On my...

Got my QFRXCc headset 3 days ago and now I tested it for 5 hours in a citabria. As a young pilot, the Bose X semmend like an awesome headset however $1000 is just too much money to spend for me. I looked around and found the QFRXCc for $230 retail! I finally decided that in case I wasn't happy with...

This group's own NW_Pilot has asked if I would be interested in helping him document his incredible ferry-flight from Bangor, Maine, to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Talk about the trip of a lifetime! See it he http://www.alexisparkinn.com/nwpilot's_tranatlantic_flight.htm And check back often. ...

Well, being short of cash to fly with and reading about NW_PILOT's trip of a lifetime ferrying a 172 across the Atlantic has left me wondering: Is a commerical pilot certificate required to ferry an airplane for someone? I think the answer is yes, even if I'm not being paid to fly, if they pick up...

You just have to love the FAA. My address recently changed from a rural route address to a road address to comply with our new county 911 system. I have an official letter saying that my new address is Cross RD. I entered that into the FAA online address change form and it changed it to...

Do real aircraft abruptly pitch upward on take-off during rotation, or is this an artifact of my simulator? I find that I must put the stick forward slightly as soon as the nose rises, or I risk a tail strike. This is especially true on small aircraft, such as the Baron 58. Large jets seem to do...

Hi folks. I've recently moved to the Boston area after getting my Private certificate down in New Jersey. I'm probably going to fly out of Hanscom (I've flown in there before and know it's busy). I'd love to hear from people who fly in the area and have advice on fun flights to do locally -...

Last spring you guys helped me pick out a high-def projector system, with the intention of showing aviation movies in the hotel, for free, every Tuesday night. Armed with your advice, I converted our meeting room into a small, 25-seat theater, with surround-sound, for a very low cost -- right...
