Hi all, Just figured I'd relate an experience I had today -- I was ramp checked at Wilkes Barre, PA, for the second time in 15 years of flying. After shooting a nice "high speed" ILS to a full stop landing, I pulled up to Tech Aviation. Not 10 seconds after I hopped out and told the line crew to...

Maailmaa parhaillaan silpova ydinpäästöjen synnyttämä nälänhätä alkaa saada sellaiset mittasuhteet, ettei sellaista olla nähty maailmansotien 40-luvun. Suomessa ei tietysti poliittisesta harhaisuudesta ja kaunasta johtuvan ydinhaihattelujen yms. takia olla tajuttu päälle kaatuvan...

This started on a Mooney list. I cannot for the life of me (and an engineering degree) figure out why a turbo normalizer would be any easier on an engine than a regular turbo. Is this just marketing crap from the turbo normalizer people? Turbo'd engines cost more to run because of the increased...

Do all commercial aircraft that fly in and out of North America have dual unit altimeters (hPa and inHg)?

Saw this clip today about a derelict 1950's era AA gun sitting in some guy's yard near DFW airport. "Concerned individuals" (i.e. dimwits) called the news station worried about the gun being pointed toward the airport, and being used to target aircraft(!) Fer Christ's sake, did they notice the tall...

Today I was shooting approaches at MHR. Wx was 001OVC 1/8SM. When I got handed off to tower they would say "Mooney 1234, not in site, landing own risk, landing runway 22L". That doesn't sound like a landing clearance to me. What does "landing runway 22L" mean in the tower ATC phrase book? Why would...

After living in Iowa for the last 7 years, it seemed that we were the only ones left who had NOT been to the "Great Iowa State Fair." This year is the 150th anniversary of this grand old tradition, so last weekend we decided to check it out. After the brief, 0.7 hour flight to Des Moines, Mary...

I've been flying for 7 years now, and a few weeks ago I attempted to plug in my portable GPS unit into a 2003 172 and ... I couldn't. The "standard" cigarette adapter has been replaced with a smaller something. I didn't have time to look too closely as to what the new outlet is. The GPS was just...
