Is there a way to ACCURATELY measure the available fuel in the tanks of a general single-engine piston aircraft??? I know there are fuel flow computers available (such as JPI?). But these typically need to be "set" with a starting fuel quantity, and then it accurately measures the fuel flow rate...

I was just at the sportys website looking for one of those mini red LED lights. One of the sidebars claims that, "These keychain flashlights emit a bright red beam or a bright white beam that illuminates well, yet does not affect night vision." I've been taught that white light destroys...

Fellow pilots, here's the deal... We just launched a new website called Pilot Chronicles. It's a free site where you can read about the experiences of other pilots so that you have more information to draw upon if you're ever faced with similar situations.

Two moose hunters from Eleutris are flown into a remote area in Alaska. They have a good hunt, and each bags a large moose. When a plane comes to pick them up, the pilot looks at the animals, laughs and says, "This plane won't lift all of us, the equipment, and both of those animals. You'll have...

Last week we were discussing the possible effect of a bullet piercing the skin of an airliner at altitude. Oddly enough, last night I saw a promo for next week's "Mythbusters" show on the Discovery channel. Apparently, they're going to be conducting some experiments to find out exactly what effect...

Has anyone heard the stories from airline pilots of 767 aircraft about the placement of the unlock switch for the mandated "Taliban Doors"? On at least one aircarrier, they are next to the fuel cutoff switches. Care to guess how many times the wrong switch has been flipped after they were first...

All: Can a 172 flying at 200 feet above water across Lake Superior get through undetected by radar or AWACS? Are there holes in radar coverage? I ask cuz I'm a mystery novelist at work on a new whodunit and wonder what goes on when a small plane flies from Canada to the United States over a Great...

I have a few students coming in tomorrow, and I am going to be teaching them about VOR's and ADF's and tracking/orientation. Anyone have any cool websites that could supplement my lesson on them?

A friend of mine and I (from the San Francisco Bay area) are planning a cross country trip in Sept '04 spanning the Labor Day weekend. We plan to take 9-10 days, weather permitting, going all the way to New York/Boston and back in a single engine Cessna 182. We are looking for a 3rd pilot...

Anyone flying into or out of las vegas on thursday be aware that VP Cheeney is suppose to be in town that day so be prepared for a TFR

I've been thinking a lot about taking a break from my current career to do some flying. I have no interest in being an airline pilot, and I know that flying is not otherwise lucrative (or even in the airline case for many pilots.) I'm relatively unencumbered (no wife, kids, or mortgage), have some...
