Okay, so Cirrus is cooking along at 60 aircraft per month. They're selling everything they can build, and people who have bought them are ecstatic. Fast forward to the year 2018. What's going to be happening to these composite beauties? Reason for asking: A long discussion with some pilots who...

Hello All, I guess I'll get out the boards and spend the day battening down the hatches while the sun still shines. The plane probably needs to be moved somewhere out of the line of fire also. We're doing the hurricane dance down here along the Redneck Riviera. Hate to send it to you Texas, but...

It appears that the Air Force is experimenting with non-rated UAV "pilots". Since as a civilian pilot I could potentially be sharing the same airspace with these folks, I am not sure this gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Of course, the government could always "solve" any potential problem with...

How do I check weather while flying in Canada? Is there a 800-WX-BRIEF in Canada? Where do I file my domestic Canadian flight plans? The AOPA packet didn't include any of this information. -Robert

Plane and Pilot. March 2005. "What Pilots Say". Wow!

Is it just me, or does it seem like weather forecasting has gone off the deep end? Once again, we've been deluged with "Winter Storm Warnings" in the Midwest that have turned out to produce a few inches of snow. As one station (primarily the Weather Channel) starts to hype the coming "huge storm"...
