Would you cycle the gear? by
Roy Smith
I had an interesting experience the other day.
I was with a student in one of our club Arrows. We put the gear down
and got green lights for the 2 mains, but not for the nose.
The nose green light was flashing, as was the yellow "gear in transit"
light. Both were flashing about twice per...

Are sectional paths correct across "long" distances? by
vincent p. norris
No. Straight lines on Lambert Conformal maps are not great circles.
It's my understanding that the Lambert Conformal is better than any
other flat surface at representing the curved surface of the earth in
such a way that a straight line on the chart comes very close to being
a Great...

The insane spitfire video clip by
gatt
If you haven't seen this yet give it a look. It's a Spitfire practically
mowing the lawn during a wheels-up flyby at the camera. WTF?!
This is rated R for (wholly appropriate) use of strong language.

How to introduce kids to flying? by
GEG
I have a 6 year old son.
I'm only a student pilot.
However, in my youth, I thought flying was totally cool - yet
completely out of my domain. I lived in a very rural area
and we didn't have much money as a family.
I really wish I had been exposed to it earlier.
In fact, I wish I would have made a...

The need for original documents, N-reg aircraft? by
Bob Moore
Peter wrote
There are various documents such as the cert of airworthiness, and
(for an N-reg in Europe) the FAA radio license, which some say need to
be carried in original.
The Radio License doesn't come from the FAA, it is isued by the FCC.

What's your avorite airliner? by
james_anatidae
In an effort to get some on-topic messages in RTA, I ask "What is your
favorite airliner"? I remember a UA A320 I flew on a couple years ago to be
quite pleasant.
(And I ask if any of the many local trolls answer this message, you others
please don't encourage them.)

How much lack of similarity in airliner flying? by
Otis McNatt
Suppose *both* pilots in, say, a B-737, were to die in flight
due to some incredible, but unfortunate coincidence. For
instance, one could die of a heart attack, and the other, say,
of an aneurysm. Now, I'll admit the chances of this happening are
remote, but it could happen; stranger things...

prop rpm question by
Bob Fry
At 1000 rpm or so, my airplane will taxi and get up to, what, 15-20
kts? But at double the rpm it will fly at 80-90 kts, though it would
take a long time to take off. Surely double the rpm produces more
than double the propellor thrust...or does it? Anyway, it seems very
nonlinear, that is,...

747 weight distribution by
Robin
Hello, this is an odd question of curiosity from an amateur: Two days
ago I was flying from Dulles to LHR on a United 747-400. The aircraft
taxied to the end of the runway, then the pilot announced there was a
problem with the weight distribution on the aircraft wings, and we
would have to move...

What is cabin air pressure set at by

In a commercial airline, I realize that the cabin is pressureizd, but I know
that it is not kept at a sea level pressure. What effective "altitude" is
the passenger cabin kept at? Is it the same for all air liners?
The reason I am asking is that I have to use a CPAP machine to breath while

AVIATIONTOOLBOX: How do you like your maps stitched? by
Kyler Laird
Recently I've been working a lot on manipulating the FAA sectionals I
purchased.
http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA_sectionals/
I've been amazed by the hundreds of people who have downloaded this data.
There's apparently some interest in it so I'd like to solicit input on
some of the projects...
