There have been some disjointed threads on the topic, the most recent of which I started. I got interested in this because my flying club board felt that our flight rules should cover the basics of this issue. A couple days ago, AOPA sent me a great book which is a compilation of articles by...

I just hard wired my ANR headset into my ship's power so that I no longer have to use a 9v battery as a power source. Now I am getting an intermittent squeal when I transmit. I never had this problem with the 9v power pack. My ANR is a Headsets Inc. conversion to a David Clark headset. Any ideas...

What is this new airplane, recently certified in the US, has 8 seats, single engine piston from Australia? Was looking for it's website... something like airtranusa? Thanks..

If I go to Canada and fly a Canadian registered plane, can I fly it in Canada on my US license? Can I bring it back into the US (say I buy it), can I fly it in the US? Anyone have any experience with getting a Canadian registered plane registered in the US? I suspect it is quite hard now,...

As previously posted, my wife and I are flying to WI next week. I plan on renting a plane and doing some local flying once we are there. My question is, I have a Icom A-5 that I would like to take with me should I need back-up communications during my local flying. Have any of you taken a hand-held...

Has anyone used any software products to prepare for the ATP written? How did you like the product? Thanks! Mike MU-2

If a tape of Discovery wings will not be sold for this date's programming, would any reader be able to copy this program for me? Of course I will pay (and add any six pack expense as well!). On Oct. 22, Wings will air an Oshkosh segment and a History in Flight segment. I am unable to watch,...

Anybody going to AOPA's expo in Philadelphia at the end of the month? It should be pretty interesting with lots of seminars and such. They will have lots of parking space at both KPHL and KPNE. KPHL has a nice train (regional rail) which leaves each airport terminal and stops directly underneath...

Thanks for the wing rib. If you want to see it again you will have to come to the museum! Margy

Hi all, Could someone recommend a good flight school and instructor in the Unionville, Plainville or Farmington area of CT? I have family in that area that might want to learn to fly. Neices & nephews. I have seen one fancy outfit at Robertson (Interstate) and the dusty field at Jonnycake.

Hello, I'm looking for any evidences or feedbacks from peoples owning or piloting Maule aircrafts, especially the Star Rocket MXT 7 180. Thank you.

In my area we lost a lot of color last week when tropical storm Mindy went whipping through with heavy rain and gusts of up to 50 mph. (I hope they had the Cubs hangared!) Since then, though, some of the green leaves have turned, so it's almost back to ideal. I drove up through CT and MA yesterday,...

I'm one of those pilots who generally only does stalls on BFR's and checkouts. Extended slow flight with the stall horn going and the wings wallowing strikes me as being more productive. Another club member mentioned to me a while ago that our 172 N doesn't stall any more. I haven't done stalls in...
