Airline Flight Route Maps by
Fred
Awhile back, someone posted a link to a site where you can
enter the location, time and date and get a map showing
where airliners are at that time. Anyone have the address
of such a website? Or just one showing the routes from city
to city. (I have to take a trip and want to pick the best

Alternator Issue? by
Jon Kraus
Tell me what you think about this issue:
I flew 4443H ('79 Mooney 201) Saturday morning for a couple of hours.

a discharge, and the battery voltage...

Price of Fuel, etc. by
Mike Spera
I would imagine higher fuel/insurance/operating costs will drive the
trends already in motion. Namely, more shared ownership, less private (1
person) ownership, and either a shift towards owners in a higher income
bracket, or fewer owners overall as the ones struggling with the expense
drop...

What to buy at OSH this year? by
Jay Honeck
With OSH 2005 fast approaching, the blood is quickening, and there's a new
spring in my step. The Big One is almost here!
However, as we do every year, we're starting to look at Atlas -- our 1974
Pathfinder -- with a jaundiced eye, looking for deficiencies that need
filling, either in his...

Memorial Day weekend ruined by

All day long heard private plane noise, couldn't

playing to drown out the plane noise.

[email protected]
I am considering purchasing one of these "cheap" twins but before even
making the long trip to check it out, I am wondering if there are any
views on the flight characteristics and costs of ownership of this
plane. Is it a difficult thing to land? Single engine performance and
stall and other...

Hello,
I have an apartment complex in a town about 150 miles away. It
is an ideal mission for my Beech Sundowner. I'm about to take a car
out there to keep at the airport. Then I will begin flying ( 1.5 hours

Putting a Plane into Storage by
JAX
Is there a procedure or can anyone offer advice on putting a plane into
long term storage, so that the airframe is protected and a few years
down the road it can be brought back up with a minimum of fuss and
lubing? Should the plane be wrapped somehow to keep insects and
critters from getting in? ...

A36 Pilot Headroom by
Nathan Young
I am looking at pruchasing an A36. I am 6'3" with a fair amount of my
height in my torso. I sat in the A36 and found that my head hit the
ceiling, even without a headset.
I found this interesting, as I have fit in every plane I've flown.
Most of my time is in Sundowner, Cherokee 180, Seneca...

We finally did it.... we had to weigh the airplane. After three years of
owning it, upgrading radios, adding whatzits (Tannis heater, vacuum filter, new
strobe, etc), we finally had a custom interior made up for it. Since the last
weighing was without an interior and the weight/moment would be...
