Does anybody know a place that offers complex airplane renting/instruction in Southern Illinois? Thanks!

Is that rather uncomplimentary pre-recorded playback near the end of flights generated by the radio altimeter or GPWS? Ramapriya

I am having problems getting a good answer whether landing fees apply to a GA plane doing a single touch n go at Denver. Does anyone here have official/real-life info? The FAA will let me do it but at a possible $40-$95 I won't. Ron Lee

Over on alt.politics.usa is a thread called "Pilots for 9/11 Truth", with the usual collection of kooks and loons seeking "TRUTH". I am the only pilot there challanging them, so, if you want to play with the animals, I suggest that others join the party!

Anyone know if the new NYS criminal background check requirements just signed by the Governor apply to BFRs?

Years ago I was leaving Purdue http://www.airnav.com/airport/LAF before the tower opened. (I think I was headed to Hamfest with some friends. I don't usually get airborne that early.) As I taxied to runway 5 I heard the local turboprop commuter (Mesaba, I think) call a taxi to runway 10. I was...

An airline crashes in the United States. The lawyers come out in droves to sue. But wait, the airline is in bankruptcy! Do they still sue? Who will pay their contingency fees and costs? :-))

We have had TIS in three of the planes in our partnership for a while now. I consider it a safety of flight issue. When it is working the number of unseen planes around you it displays is amazing. I really don't want to fly without it at this point. Unfortunately is seems that the data is not...

There two strong upper level low pressure systems over the eastern United States. I have never seen a weather system/pattern like this before.

This morning I see a bunch of postings about jetport operations, and airliners back taxi, and tickets for direct flights that aren't. Jeez, is there a full moon or what? To those who don't get it... This forum is for and about piloting airplanes, i.e. for and about being a PILOT... Stories about...

I keep hearing the media state the CRJ fully loaded needs 5000+ feet for takeoff. But the devil is always in the details: Does anyone have the approx expected ground roll TO numbers? The expected roll distance to V1? And does anyone know if runway 26 has runway remaining signage? I'm asking...

I'm hoping to make my long VFR cross-country for my commercial license this afternoon and evening (to get both day and night into one flight). I'm tentatively planning to fly into CAK which is class bravo airspace. As I was planning the flight today, I realized that I haven't flown VFR into...

I wasn't too happy when I got the call from AA few minutes ago. I paid top dollars to get on direct flight from Pittsburgh to Dallas. That flight would leave first thing in the morning, 7am, I got the called few minutes ago and was told that my flight was cancelled and they won't say the real...

Here in Indianapolis I have seen Mogas go down from $3.20 a gallon to $2.50 and it appears that it will keep on dropping. On the other hand at my home base I just filled up for a trip and still are paying $4.50 a gallon. Has anyone noticed if Avgas is coming down too? Maybe it has to do with...
