Cirrus down, Chapel Hill NC by

It may be selective memory on my part, but it seems these airplanes
have been over represented among GA accidents lately.
The story of this crash can be found here (and elsewhere)

Stability augmentation promises to give you even less control by
Mxsmanic
This article is strongly slanted in favor of new stability-augmentation
gadgets for light aircraft:

TCO for small aircraft by
Mxsmanic
Disregarding the actual cost of buying your own airplane, what's the total
cost of ownership for a small single-engine aircraft, like a Bonanza? Exclude
fuel and consumables.
I read about someone with a Baron who apparently spends thousands of dollars a
year on required maintenance. Is that...

First, what are the odds of getting C-FWUT (Challenger) at PHL going
to Flying W and getting C-FWTT (Pitts) at Flying W. Lots of planes as
usual, so here they are.

Clinton nobodies still interrupt air traffic by

Even thought Chelsea and Bill Clinton are of no importance to national
security and Hilary is too unimportant to matter, the FAA is still restricting
flights over the wedding site of what's-her-name:

wind flow visualizations by

One of my friends suggested this, you might enjoy trying it too. We
have all seen films of tufts of yarn taped to a wing to show airflow.
If you fly a low winged airplane, try doing it yourself: a third of

handspan from leading...

Maximum autonomy for expert glider pilots? by

If a glider pilot is perfect in every way, how long can he remain in the air?
It's it reasonable to say that there will always be conditions near his
