Does anyone know where I can rent a Commander 114 or 115 anywhere around the state of Florida? Or someone needing a partner in owning one? David (KORL)

My understanding is: before early 1970s, FAA hadn't standardized the manuals into a POH format yet, so they were just Owner's manuals at the manufacturer's discretion. Did the 1st page after the cover still have to have the serial # on it? I fly an old 150F model here lately and it's Owner's...

Hey Highflyer, I've re-read the invitation three times, and can't find the date anywhere in the text. I know it's in May, but which weekend? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993

I was shopping at a Wal-Mart on December 17, 2004, when I noticed outside a helicopter flying just over the tops of the parked vehicles in front of the store. It was flying towards me, about 20 feet above the ground and climbing. I got a photograph of it when it was about 50 to 70 feet in the air....

I need to speak with you. I posted yesterday about needing pilots in South America, but I was mistaken. If you or any of your fellow pilots have ever flown an aerial survey, I would like to speak to you about who you know. I have an opportunity in the DC-area for a full-time aerial photographer...

I am going to take my medical on Tuesday. The price for a Class II is the same for a Class III license. If I don't renew my Class II within 6 month sor 12 months (?) it goes down to a Class III. I don't plan on exercising the Class II but who knows, maybe I'll get my Commerciial and CFI in the...

Apparently an immigrant smuggling operation. AP is reporting a Cessna was forced down Tuesday morning near San Antonio with four Chinese nationals on board. The plane, N98873, is supposedly owned by Afzal Hameed and Alyce S. Taylor. -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port...

We are currently working on our 15th aviation theme suite, to be called the "Oshkosh Suite". In 23 consecutive years of attendance, Mary and I have collected a LOT of photos and memorabilia -- but we never collected the annual posters that EAA puts out each year. These would make great...

ok, here's my scenario: I am an independent flight instructor, been flying for a little over 4 years now. Ya, still a student in my opinion; envy the lifetimers. Just got my first Flight Review less than 30 days ago, was planning on getting my Sea -addon, didn't manage to get that one...

My Peltor Pilot 7000 ProGt needs some minor maintenance and is out of warrant, can anyone provide a recommendation on where to send it? THANKS

I currently subscribe to the Airchart IFR and sectional service. I was looking at changing to the WAC and IFR service. What exactly is the difference between the WAC and sectional charts? Do the WACs show all the MOAs/restricted/etc areas? Are all the same airports listed? Thanks

There are days (like today) where the idea is just to fly the airplane. No specific destination, but if something looks interesting on the ground, or if I need a Diet Coke or feel the need to unload one, I may land at any of a dozen nearby airfields... How do you explain this to a FSS briefer? ...

I've been an AOPA member since I got my license about a little over a year ago. Is it just me or do you also get sick of their incessant 'internal' advertising. It seems like you can't read one of their headlines on their website or mags without it being preceeded by "AOPA helps win....." On top...

my subject poses my question? ck

I will be starting IFR training soon and would like to minimize the pain / maximize my learning potential. Is there anything that recent (or not-so-recent) IFR students wish you had done in preparation for training? (specific books to read, home flight simulator) A friend has invited me to tag...

This great picture was taken today (Saturday 5 February 2005) with Mount Washington filling the windshield. http://baldeagleflyingclub.org/Potwbig.htm His first flight. It's been a long time coming. --

followed a thread here into pretty good info about leaky exhausts: detectors of and the need for same. and, if the detector goes off i should then....? also, i've read here about how cool it is to hit the o-bottle at night and watch the lights get bright. also, today i was doing my 5th heavy...

I understand the theory vis a vis lowest L/D TAS and the power available/power required chart, but let's say you're in flight in a normally aspirated prop plane, your destination is blown up, your alternate is unservicable for some reason or other and you need to stretch the fuel you have the...

Because Jay put his plane in the shop, he's been seeing great flying weather. That's trickled down East by now. Today was in the 40's and CAVU. I dug the Maule out of the snow last weekend, so I knew that all I needed to do was to top off the tailwheel tire. After that was accomplished, she...
