HondaJet is now official by
Jim Macklin
In 4 years, maybe. It isn't certified and even though Piper
will be a USA sales agent, there is a lot of competition
with planes nearly ready to deliver now.
Timing can be everything.

Cirrus
Hi Everyone-
I was wondering if I could pick the brains of some of you with more
experience than myself.... Can any of you recommmend some great pilot
destinations in Washinton or Oregon? I'm aware of Friday Harbor and
Hoquiam, but would like to find other airports where a pilot can land
and either...

Testing the Testing of Mogas by
Jay Honeck
Plop-plop, fizz-fizz... :-)
In a previous thread I outlined the new (vastly more convenient)
"alka-seltzer method" of testing your mogas for both ethanol and water
-- but (for those who missed it) here it is again:
1. Tap a few ounces of suspect gas into a cup
2. Drop 1/4 of an alka-seltzer...

McCain in '08 by
Skylune
The Flyer: Last year you blocked AOPA President Phil Boyer’s nomination to
the FAA Management Advisory Council, leaving GA pilots and aircraft owners
without a voice on the council. Why did you do that?

Handheld radio for emergency use... by
Dan
All,
I have an ICOM A5 that I use for getting ATIS, clearances, calling for
fuel, etc. If I were to go down in a remote off-airport, middle of

Notes from the RAP pre-OSH party by
Viperdoc
We finally made it to Iowa City to check out the town, stay at Jay and
Mary's place, and go to the party. It was a short trip, but the folks at the
FBO at IOW were extremely friendly and helpful.
We had some dinner in town, and spent the evening next to the pool with
other guests flying into...

What is it? by
Bob Chilcoat
The altimeter in this illustration http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter is
almost identical to the one in our Archer. I've been puzzling over what
that little black and white hatched area is on the dial ever since I bought
into the plane. It doesn't rotate with the Kollsman window knob,...

CRM for the Private Pilot.. by
Dan
Can anyone point me towards some good resources for CRM in a
non-professional environment with two pilots? (i.e. which pilot should
do what?)
I'm looking to do some personal flying with other pilots and would like
both of us to participate in the flight and be able to divide up the
PF/PNF tasks...

Correct me if I'm wrong: there's no speed limit in class B above 10,000 MSL ? Example: Denver's class B extends to 110.

Stupid Question by
Crash Lander
When pilots quote how many hours they have logged, is this a personal log
that is kept, or is every hour you fly entered into a national registry and
formally kept?
