Would you fly on this airline? by
Jay Honeck
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have
sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god,
following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the
carrier said Tuesday.
I wonder what the Boeing service manual says about this?

Why are headings still magnetic? by
Mxsmanic
Like AM radio, magnetic headings are still with us, even though
navigation in general has advanced by leaps and bounds. When will
true headings be used? The magnetic poles are in continuous motion;
the rotational poles are stable.
Eventually, the magnetic poles will move so far that every...

American pilots charged in Amazon jetliner crash by
Guy Elden Jr
This story just gets more and more bizarre... based on the evidence
I've seen reported so far, it certainly sounds to me like the Brazilian
air traffic control system itself is solely to blame for this accident.

Rough Field Landings by
[email protected]
Here I am with the big stick again. I can't recall anyone discussing
rough area landings or hostile terrain landings in a long time. For
example, forced to land (no matter the reason-you supply one) and you
are headed into a corn field, or a rice paddy, or trees, or perhaps
mountain slopes. Well...

Does a Baron 58 have an ejection seat? by
Mxsmanic
I note in the simulation of the Baron in MSFS (Dreamfleet's
simulation), there's a button on the left side of the pilot, part of
several rows of buttons, marked "Ejection seat." I don't know if this
is a joke on the part of the developers, or something that really
exists in the aircraft. In the...

listening to ATC on United Airlines by
Bucky
I'm not a pilot, just your typical passenger. I don't fly United often,
so I just discovered that they put the ATC on the inflight audio. I was
totally fascinated and want to learn some more. Is there a website that
has some basic ATC protocols? Not some huge reference manual, just the
common...

Operations over water by
Mxsmanic
Where in the regulations can I find the requirements for operations over water
in light GA aircraft? I seem to recall there are restrictions and equipment
requirements, but I can't find them.

People... by
Jay Honeck
For those of you who exist in the clarified, rarified world of upper-
echelon corporate life, or hang out with pilots all day, it's hard to
remember the wide range of human behaviors that exist. I, too, once
existed there, and clearly remember walking the halls of the Fortune
500 company, finding...

Testing the Testing of Mogas by
Jay Honeck
Plop-plop, fizz-fizz... :-)
In a previous thread I outlined the new (vastly more convenient)
"alka-seltzer method" of testing your mogas for both ethanol and water
-- but (for those who missed it) here it is again:
1. Tap a few ounces of suspect gas into a cup
2. Drop 1/4 of an alka-seltzer...

what exactly constitutes a troll? by
Sylvain
sorry for the naive question, but what is all this fuss
about Mxsmanic? may be am I missing something obvious,
I must confess that I haven't read all his posts, but I
am a bit surprised by the rather hostile reactions that
he received; I mean, ok, he doesn't fly 'for real',
and sometimes...

WOW! I had no idea this thread would be so productive! Here is the list,

than others. If anyone can add some of the missing information, please do

For example, some people didn't post what STATE their suggested museum...

Flying a 172 with Autopilot? by
VE5JL
Is there any one here flying a 172 using an autopilot?
I think on longer flights (3+ hours) and autopilot would be an advantage,
however there are some in the old school that think it is not necessary.
I'd like some opinions.
thx
Joe
