I'd like to ask for some feedback on how your country deals with logging PIC time in gliders to help me with clarifying the rules here. Acting as PIC (the one and only legally responsible pilot for the aircraft) is one thing but logging PIC time is another animal. My interpretation so far for e.g....

Hi, I think it may finally be time to retire my mid '90's vintage Thrustmaster Joystick/Trhottle/Rudder combination. It's still running on the old gameport connector, and I don't think Win 7 supports that anymore. So with that in mind what are you using these days in the way of a...

Hello All, With the all the activity on RAS and the success of the Region 11 Yahoo group I thought it would be beneficial to create a specific Region 12 Yahoo group to foster communication in the region. The link is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Region_12/ I would encourage all Region 12...
