I've read that the shuttle pilots "only" experience about 3 g's during lift off to orbit - less than a big roller coaster ride, way less than a dragster or a fighter jet. But they do endure the g force for much longer - something like 10 minutes before they get into orbit. That would be the part...

I just spoke with someone at AOPA about the status of my medical appliation with the FAA, which unfortunately was deferred to Oklahoma City when I went in for my 3rd class evaluation in March (2005). I can understand why there is such a backlog right now due to staffing issues and the fact that at...

I was told by a friend that a SR22 based in our airport (El Monte - KEMT)crashed a week ago while taking off from Henderson Executive in Las Vegas. At the time, it carried 4 people & full fuel and temp was 120. All 4 survived without injury and the chute was not deployed. I cannot find this...

Does anyone know if the Navy has an aero club in Norfolk, VA?

There have been several sites which offered free digital sectionals (at least a peek a little bit at a time). I'm interested in peeking at the Seattle and Portland areas for an upcoming flight, but can't find any of these sites any more. Anybody know of any that are still up? Jose -- Nothing...

Its amazing how they got all that stuff in there. The thing really is nice. It was cool the winds aloft temperature it was even showing a few storms out to the east. I think Garmin has a winner.

Just flew another 2.1 in our local Diamond Star with the G1000. Flew a friend down to St. Louis area to pick up his daughter. On the way back, I was putting a chart (the big book from AirChart Systems) down on the floor between my feet. I bumped the Master/Alt switch. I looked up wondering why the...

A neighbor sent me this article about a 1967 crash near Hendersonville, NC. The controlling ATC was the Asheville TRACON. This predates the online NTSB accident archive, but I once had a hardcopy of the accident investigation. I'll look for it. I found the original online at...

Today I flew RST (Rochester, MN) to 3CK (Chicago-Lake in the Hills). As I neared Chicago I was listening to 120.55, which is ORD approach for the North side. This was around 6pm, which is a pretty busy time for approach, lots of arrivals and departures in the ORD area. During the 15 minutes...

My 396 arrived yesterday! Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I experienced some strangeness with my 296 the other night. We recently upgraded to the latest software and I've taken it on a trip to NM. The other night I noticed the unit did not power on when I turned on the bus voltage (its wired into the cig lighter full time). So I turned it on manually. It...

Hi! Anyone got a default WB graph for an 180 hp Arrow? I am entering info into a computer programme, and can't seem to get it right.... The ones I have tell me that I can't fly with myself and my wife in the front, and my son (age 12) in the back with full fuel. Can this be right?

Are there any leads on ANR Bluetooth headsets I should check out at OSH? It seems like this technology will be the wave of the future- any hints from Bose or Lightspeed? Can't make the party during the week, but will be there over the weekend walking around in the flight suit helping with the...
