Catastrophic Decompression; Small Place Solo by Aviation
I have two questions inspired by Hollywood movies. In the movies (Goldfinger, Executive Decision and so on), when pressurized aircraft suffer catastrophic decompression at high (25000+ feet) altitude (usually when the bad guy shoots a bullet through a window) everything not tied down gets sucked...

Those *dangerous* Korean War relics by Kingfish
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...

Tricky examiners by Dallas
I've been greatly amused by examiner trick stories lately, like Dudley's story of an examiner bringing in his child to have the CFI candidate teach him lift. Or the one where the examiner failed the flaps and asked the student to find the ground frequency of the airport at the same time to...

The Worst Aviation Movie of All Time by Jay Honeck
We often talk about the BEST aviation movie here, but how 'bout the worst? Having spent nearly a year of my life showing aviation movies every Tuesday night in our theater at the hotel, I am in a somewhat unique position to comment on this. I've seen over 50 aviation movies in a row, and can lend...

Crab, slips, and crossed controls by Amine
Hey, Some of you may have heard of Air Canada 143 http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=dfJIpA2gv1g] which ran out of fuel in mid air and had to make an emergency descent at velocities way above the normal limits. The pilot's makeshift technique was to engage a sideslip to decelerate the aircraft (which...

XM question for Garmin 396/496 owers by Kyle Boatright
What are the weather overlay capabilities of these units? Can you overlay a radar map on top of your airspace map? Across a route you are navigating? The reason I ask is that the Bendix/King AV8OR I have does not have these capabilities and I'm trying to get a better understanding of what...

Now that it appears that George Bush has been re-elected with a true majority of the popular vote (the first president to do so in 16 years), let me be the first to extend an olive branch to those here who may be disappointed in the results. What has made America strong, and allowed our democracy...

Riding vs Flying -- How many here ride? by Jay Honeck
Having just returned from a 3-day motorcycle camping trip, the riding experience is once again fresh in my mind. (Alas, I don't get to ride much nowadays; but there was a time when Mary and I rode coast-to-coast...) I'm always struck by the similarities between riding and flying. Basically,...

GA headed for regulatory trouble by [email protected]
The recent spate of private pilots violating restricted airspace over Washington raises the thought that some lawmaker is going to decide that general aviation is a threat to national security. It's only a matter of time. Just something else for our lobbyists to be prepared for. AJ Harris

No more "Left Downwind"? by Jay Honeck
We attended a safety seminar on Tuesday during which the FAA presenter (who was otherwise outstanding) went over a list of unapproved radio calls. (Number one being, of course, the despised and now-specifically prohibited "Any other traffic please advise...") To our surprise, he claimed that the...
