I preferred the earlier one because it was web based and allowed me to run it wherever I was on whoever's system I was using (including my friend's Macs where I've planned and filed dozens of flights). What really is irritating me is the fact that my home 'port, 8NC8, is not in the airport...

I see HP has introduced the HP Compaq tr3000 (apparently named after a breadmaking machine). It is supposed to be a 'rugged' tablet PC, capable of being left out in the rain, dropped from three feet, etc., and generally exceeding milspec standards for hardiness. The 8" screen is supposed to...

I'd prefer North Aero Park up off of 54. Email me at asahitoro'at'yahoo.com wih prices and info. Should I take the HCC ground course first? Will that help me get through the written?

This amazing video was posted over on one of the Binary Channels ("alt.binaries.multimedia.aviation") a couple of days ago. It's video taken from an F-15 Eagle during combat air maneuvering, and shows a high-speed, mid-air collision from INSIDE the plane. Amazing stuff. For those who are unable...

Does anyone know of any applications that work with the Apollo CNX80 IR port? I have looked throughout the manuals for ours and searched Garmins website, but cant find anything that talks about it, just the fact that it has one and that you can link to it with a PDA. Scott

I may be able to pull away from everything next month for a week and am considering flying North this time. Are there any good remoteish type places up in Oregon where we could do hiking, fishing, etc? My kids are 7 and 8 but we don't do the video game and TV thing so they'd be happy to just do...

My Sigma Tek attitude indicator is going South and after one failed attempt to overhaul it I'm not excited to sent it elsewhere and try again. It looks like I can buy a new TSO RC Allen for about $100 more than overhauling my Sigma Tek. Is there any reason this isn't a no brainer? Why would anyone...

I found a new rental opportunity at CYBW (Springbank, Alberta) with a brand new 172SP the other day and today went out for a Mountain check ride with the chief CFI. Now, I did two mountain courses over the past 18 months - one with my original training outfit and one with the local flying club....

A basic rule for the exclusion of turning, even while crop dusting, at a low altitude is the disorientation effect. Causing a lowering of the altitude by confusion, and a likely wing tip crash. Very deadly affair. So, the idea of practicing the low altitude turn is a real stunt flight...

Can anyone list or point me to a list of blood pressure medications that the FAA will accept for a 3rd class medical? My regular doc will likely start me on meds next week and I want to know what's okay and what's not. Thanks!! Steve Robertson N4732J 1967 Beechcraft A23-24 Musketeer
