I've searched the FAA Legal Interpretation website for an answer but haven't found one I understand. My question is: Can any of the flight experiences that were used to qualify for a private pilot certificate be subsequently used in part or whole to satisfy the flight experience requirements for...

Is it just me or does clicking on the glider CN in a results page on soaringspot now always load the trace in a new browser tab with SeeYou cloud for replay and not just download the trace like it used to do? If this is a change in behaviour from Naviter this is really, really annoying. --...

What's the lowest power tow plane you've ever seen or towed by? An Examiner of mine said his was a C150 with 100hp. I also once saw paperwork for an 85hp Luscombe to tow.

Am I right in my suspection that this Vario is no longer available? S

I was given an older MH EDS unit to install in my Phoebus glider which I got for a song and am restoring. The glider has a bracket for the oxygen tank, but no tank is installed. The bottom is a rounded fiberglass cup, and there is a flip bracket to go around the neck. It sits behind the seat pan...

Hi All, Just wondering if I could get some ideas and recommendations regarding transporting a sailplane from Southern California to Georgia. Does anyone know of a service that specializes in this kind of thing? Thanks.

I`m searching for a supplier of a 6 and a 12-way removable instrument panel plug. Any ideas? Colin

does anyone have one available? Our club just bought one and I need it as the one with the plane is in German and my German reading skills are not up to digesting the manual in German. Thanks Bob

If you are within driving distance of Georgia, Tennessee or Alabama please join us: We have a fairly firm schedule of events for GTA. Therefore we also know which days in the spring it is going to rain ;-) A few changes have been made since the draft was released so please look through this and...

Am working on the upcoming SSA convention and have a need to contact Nik Salej of LX Navigation. All efforts via e-mail have gone unreturned. Anybody knowing him please ask him to e-mail Mark Olinger at molingernwa AT yahoo.com or e-mail his contact at that address. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have a photo they can post showing how the ballast weights get installed in the nose of the Astir CS? I just see two holes up there but not exactly sure what’s needed to install weights and how it should be setup

I made the trip from Vero to Margate today to have my transponder repaired. You always have choices to make about what kind of avionics to buy. Well, I will never buy anything other than Becker. I was greeted at the door by Alejandro and my unit was immediately taken into the test facility for...

I didn't get to watch much TV as a kid, my dad made me sit in my room and read books with a dictionary and Thesaurus, hence my magnificant SAT verbal score, but I digress. I find Youtube to be quite entertaining, moreso than much of current crop of garbage on TV and in watching some old shows I...

Hello All, I have been unable to load my LX7000 pro IGC which came in my new glider. I have a serial cable and a Windows Vista computer and have been able to establish contact between the two, but I have not been able to upload airspace or turnpoint files to the computer. I have sent the...

Anybody in the US had this done recently? Curious what the expense was. Was talking with the FAA Small Aircraft Directorate about another aircraft and we touched on this model briefly. What was the cost and who did you have do it? I'd like to pick up something for this season while I'm working...

Hello Guys. I am restoring another 1-26 and have a spare older 302 I would like to use. Have any of you used that vario without the external TE probe, setting it to the internal compensation mode? The manual for it does’nt recommend it but I would like to save the bother and drag associated with...

The Belgian National Aeroclub have put together an impressive list of recent low-energy final glide and finish accidents, presented to the IGC. This is useful for the endless US discussion on the question, should we go back to low finishes here....

1. 1 set of gear doors for a V2C (new) 2 1 weighted tail wheel with tire and tube 803-374-7400

It's snowing and for entertainment sake I thought I'd throw this question out there. One of the selling points of the -24 and later Schleicher gliders is the "crashworthiness" of the fuselage. Waibel won the Ostiv, we've all seen pictures of the test rig dropping a fuselage after a simulated...
