Historical NOTAMs by Mxsmanic
Today I was a bit curious about what NOTAMs were issued when Mount Saint Helens exploded in Washington back in 1980. Is there a place on the Web where very old NOTAMs can be looked up (for free)?

limit of trim = limit of travel? by Mxsmanic
Are the limits of control surface movements produced by setting trim to its extremes also usually the absolute limits of travel for those surfaces, or is it usually possible to move them further with movement of the yoke? Or does this vary significantly from one aircraft design to another?

Cirrus SR22 Purchase advice needed. by C J Campbell
"Doug Vetter" wrote in message ... The SR20's limit of 12000 hours is still too limiting, IMHO, but I can appreciate the FAA's conservatism regarding any new (indeed revolutionary) design. I was told by a Diamond rep...

Get Rid Of Warbirds At Oshkosh by RST Engineering
I'm prejudiced. Of course I'm prejudiced. In 5000+ flight hours, I've never come as close to a midair as I did at Oshkosh 1999. Oshkosh Tower: "BlueOnBlue Cessna, number three for runway 27. Ercoupe put it on the numbers. Flight of three T6s, cross over runway 27, right downwind for runway...

AmeriFlight Crash by C J Campbell
Is it just me, or does AmeriFlight seem to lose an awful lot of airplanes? I know 1999 was a bad year, but they appear to lose at least one plane every year. http://www.thesunlink.com/redesign/2003-11-30/local/333810.shtml -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

Record-setting young pilot dies at 26 by Jim Logajan
Story on Yahoo: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080318/ap_on_re_us/obit_van_meter I'm aware of three people I've known in my life that attempted suicide, and sadly one was successful. None of them were attempting to escape physical pain or fiscal trauma. Sometimes the worst enemy a person has is...

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 Martin...

Is it possible to switch from VFR to IFR and back? by Mxsmanic
If I am instrument rated and my aircraft is fully equipped for instrument flight, and I start out a flight with a VFR flight plan, and it gets foggy enough that I'm below minimums, is there a way to switch to IFR in flight, or do I have to have filed IFR from the beginning? If it's possible in...

OT-Killing Pop-ups as a webmaster by Jay Honeck
I changed some of the metafiles (or "meta tags") in my website this afternoon, emphasizing "hotels" more. I did this in an effort to get search engines to "see" our site more clearly, and (hopefully) move us up a few notches in the "results". Well, something worked. Within an hour I had acquired...

Safety: Planes vs Bikes by Charles Talleyrand
I fly a small airplane (a Cessna 150) that is well maintained. I fly over forests in good weather and typically during the day. My biggest fear is the engine quits over the forest and I have no place to make a deadstick landing except the tops of large trees. I drive a moderate motorcycle (a...

Boeing 747 & 777 autoland in crosswind certification video - impressive! by Alt Beer
Anyone here ever landed in such a strong crosswind? Found this posted to another group. This is a great video of 747 and 777 doing auto land certification crosswind landings, the 3rd and 4th shot are the best. It takes a minute to download and get through the credits but its worth it. ...

A Google Groups alternative to rec.aviation.piloting? by Jim Logajan
I note that some people who wish to migrate to a more controlled aviation forum have a couple issues with the alternatives such as AOPA and POA. The first being that they appear U.S. centric. The second that the layout is actually a backward step in user friendliness. While it isn't as good as...

McCain in '08 by Skylune
