What can you tell me about the 304 CZ from personal experiance? I have read the posted reviews.

The photo gallery on the SSA webpage has a photo by Mike Abernathy with this description: "Bob Carlton working on his innovative conversion of an Alisport Silent to be self-launching using 2 AMT USA jet engines. Bob has test flown it and reports it to climb well." Can anyone tell me the email...

For those of you using iGlide, which version did you download? Any suggestions on which to download? Thanks in advance! Mike

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number calculated from your height and weight. On the logic that pilots with BMI over 40 are likely to have Sleep Apnea and therefore more likely to fall asleep when piloting, the FAA is planning to require AMEs to use BMI to trigger evaluation for sleep apnea when...

Hi, A few customers just clued me in about the upcoming new iPAQ 200 Series. It looks like an excellent replacement for the iPAQ hx4700. The only question is whether or not the "24 pin connector" is the same as used on previous iPAQs and whether or not it has an RS-232 serial port. I hope it...

The thing that is perhaps most interesting to me about the A320 Hudson incident is the report that the first officer, who was pilot flying, saw the canada geese and "made note of it". Why didn't he take immediate evasive action? It will be very interesting to see the CVR transcript. I wonder how...
