$16,619.85 by
Dallas
That's the cost for your ticket in Europe.
(Assuming 55 hours, *not* including the seven tests, materials and ground
school.)
One hour of dual training in the U.K. - $315.27
One hour of single engine trainer rental in the U.K. - $285.27
One gallon of 100LL in Europe - $13.00
I'm glad I'm on...

Presidential TFR @ Kill Devil Hills by
Richard Russell
Does anyone else find it ironic that the President's very presence at
the celebration of 100 years of powered flight has shut down almost
2,000 square miles of airspace? Couldn't he have phoned it in?

Stop the noise by
airads
Feb. 24 - The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association on Tuesday
provided initial support to four Massachusetts pilots - all AOPA
members - facing a lawsuit filed by a few residents. The suit alleges
that the noise signature from the aerobatics performed by the pilots
caused significant harm; they...

Phrase "landing runway" vs. "cleared to land" by
Robert M. Gary
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...

ADIZ Violation Explained in AOPA Magazine by
Jay Honeck
The current issue of AOPA Pilot has a fascinating article about the two
pilots (one certificated, one student) who penetrated the Washington ADIZ
last spring, and brought the wrath of the government down upon us all.
What struck me was the entirely casual way in which it all happened. Troy

MoGas users: Ethanol replacing MTBE by
John
To those who fly with STCs for motor fuel instead of avgas, is the
phase-out of MTBE affecting you? The federal government hasn't banned
MTBE outright (some individual states have) but will not protect oil
companies from MTBE lawsuits so MTBE is being phased out by next week in
most places. MTBE...

The price of gas by
C J Campbell
So oil is now over $40/barrel and this is being blamed for the fact that gas
is now over $2/gallon and avgas is well over $3/gallon.
As one news report put it, oil is the most expensive it has been since the
1970's. Ummm, anyone remember what the price of gas was in the 1970's when
oil was pushing...

I learned about flying from this, too... by

In the mid 80s I was in flight training at a part 141 school, Navarro
College, In Corsicana, Texas. I would not recommend this college to
anyone seeking an aviation college, by the way. I'll let you know more
privately if you wish.
I took the nice 172 to Gilmer, Tx. for an overnight visit to part...

Officials Weighed Shooting at Errant Plane

As a wayward Cessna flew deep in restricted airspace, national security

Force feedback versus real piloting? by
John Doe[_4_]
Recently I was at a local airport talking to some pilots. One of
them (obviously a real pilot) said that doing a simulator with a
force feedback joystick and then flying a plane made for a smooth
transition.
I'm not a pilot so I didn't argue with that, but I was thinking
"huh?"
Isn't the...

Crashing on takeoff... how odd by
[email protected]
I remember a recent discussion with a pilot mate where I was mentioning
how illogical a crash-shortly-after-takeoff is, given that beyond V1
takeoff can safely be continued even with just one good engine. I'd
even told him that if I saw an aircraft airborne following takeoff, I'd
presume it...

Do we need the SR-71? by
C J Campbell
One of the most important lessons, I think, coming from the war on terrorism
is that poor intelligence is becoming very costly. Satellites are
predictable and are unable to loiter over an area, while drones can cover
only relatively small areas. From Desert Shield up to now we have been
