When is the airmen registry updated? Is it updated when they get around to updating a particular persons record, or is it done as a whole on a particular basis. The reason I ask is because I have been checking every day to see when they add on my PPL. However I noticed at the bottom of...

Anybody know a good web site to check what airlines/cities serve Tel Aviv nonstop from the United States?

I took a photo of a United Airlines plane in Detroit in March 2004. I'm wondering whether it is a Boeing 737 or Airbus 319 or 320? You can see it here. http://www.ackle.com/ebayualphotos.htm Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see it. Any help with this is appreciated. I sell some United...

I have a 1941 Chief with lights on it. There's one light on each wingtip and one on the top of the fin. There's no anticollision light/strobe or landing light. There are wires from the 3 position lights to the cockpit, where they end. The engine has no alternator or generator and never has had...

This is pretty cool Here's a fun game to play. The object of the game is to move the red block around without getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls. If you can go longer than 22 seconds you are phenomenal. I was told that the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They...

Anyone else seeing multiple posts? Another interesting thing -- posts I sent using GoogleGroups from two days ago are now showing up! Whassup? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993

I am sure this subject has been brought up before (why? because the answer is not immediately obvious in the FARs) but I'd appreciate some input from the knowledge base. I'm close to scheduling my CFI checkride (practical teat to be precise) and although I've always assumed it had to be performed...

A couple of weeks ago in Florida I passed the Commercial airplane knowledge test and scored 96. A couple of the questions I got wrong were on the weather services and particularly the name of the charts. Not being in the US means that whilst I know what's on the charts the names get a bit mixed up....

Last week I announced a rec.aviation contest to "Name Our New Aviation Theme Suite" at our aviation themed hotel, the Alexis Park Inn & Suites, in Iowa City, IA, with the winner earning a free night in "their" suite. To my amazement, we received over 100 suggested names! After a great deal of...

I am looking to get my private pilot's license and was looking for schools in the Atlanta (Midtown) area. I was looking for a location that has a good safety record and is reasonably priced. Location is not a major issue. Is there a way to check safety records for flight schools and on different...

Hi all, Im an aussie travelling to Las Vegas soon and was hoping to do a dusk-ish flight near the strip. Wanted to hire a warrior (dual of course) and have a little fly around ... Can anyone suggest a school and instructor that could accomodate such a request and what it will cost?

Wanted to ask how easy or natural it gets for pilots to perceive aircraft positions and movements without actually looking at the respective indicators. I've been in the flight deck only once, and confess that I had very little physical sensation to give me an idea of the 0.7 Mach or whatever that...

Ft. Lauderdale has fog about 2 days per year. Wouldn't you know it but on the way down to a foggy FLL, one of 500 zillion computers on the 'sophisticated' airplane crapped out. My helper pilot had no localizer or glideslope information on his screens. I had both needles and flight director bars....
