Three more newbie Qs, if you don't mind :) by
Ramapriya
Hi all,
I'm encouraged by your non-disparaging response to my first posting
here yesterday. I have a few more Qs that will look utterly idiotic to
you guys -- but remember that I'm not a pilot :)
1. Is there a way of mathematically justifying the dictum that a
successful takeoff is guaranteed if...

Introducing my dog to the plane by
Michael 182
I have a 9 month old yellow lab. Very well trained - come, sit, stay, down,
fetch, drop, heel, crate, etc. Loves the car, jumps right in. Want to start
taking him on flights with me. Any comments on introducing him to the plane?
Thanks,
Michael

Pocket PC GPS by
R.T.
Hello all,

am looking to use the Ipaq as a back up or possibly more of a planning tool.

Garmin 480 by
Hankal
How difficult is it to master the Garmin 480? What instruction material comes
with the unit?
In one of the advertisements it states that you can program clearances into the
unit as fast as one can write them. I find this hard to believe, I use
shorthand to copy the clearance on my pad. C R A F...

GPS Question by
Chuck
In A&P school several years ago, we were told that GPS was not certified for
use in aircraft, although they do make a good *aid*.
Has the FAA changed it's stance on the use of GPS? Has GPS become certified
to use in navigation in aircraft?
Thanks...
Chuck

C-182 and 5 people by
Chris
This has been asked quite often, but I still didn't find a satifectory
answer. So what are the legal constrins to pack 5 people in a C-182?
I read one can do that with a fifth seatbelt. What if there are only
four seatbelts and installing a fith is not an option - can a baby sit
on one's lap...

Can I fly the NY VFR corridor w/o a XPNDR? by
Mike
Simple question. Can I fly the NY VFR corridor in a
transponderless aircraft that meets the exception
requirements of 91.215 (no electrical system)? It looks
like the answer is yes, provided I stay low enough (below
500' as I turn the Lady). Any new TFR or other restrictions
on this? Any good...

History of the BFR? by
Jay Honeck
Mary is off doing her BFR as I write this, which got me to wondering about
the history of the biennial flight review.
As I understand it, BFRs were not required until fairly recently (like, in
the last 30 years?). Given the current uproar over the creation of
relatively simple new requirements...

Need One More Day Northern California Exhibition by
Jim Weir
In California, you have to display your aircraft 12 days a year to be eligible
for a "historical aircraft" tax exemption. The 12 days have to be at a
recognized and publicized event (i.e. you can't just open up your hangar and
hang a sign on the prop).
I'm one day short and need a one-day event,...

Meigs ... by
Pilot
The fact remains, we pilots/AC owners, are a small (less than 1% of
the general population) and have N O clout. That means, when an
airport such as Meigs is closed by Daley (or any mayor for that
matter) most of the public couldn't care less.
As a matter of fact, Daley may have more supporters in...

A very basic question by
Ramapriya
Hi guys,
Unlike the elevators and rudder that change an aircraft's pitch and
yaw with no other secondary effect, why does the banking of wings by
the use of ailerons not just roll an aircraft but also produces a turn
(yaw)? Logically, one would expect an aircraft to keep going straight
ahead even...

S-Tec System 20/30 Versus System 40/50 by

A pilot friend insists that there is a fundamental difference in the way
these two systems operate. I am thinking about installing an autpoilot and
since I have the extra panel space, I would like to get the System 40 or 50
