Perfect loop by
More_Flaps
My aerobatic traing is going very well, I'm having all the fun I
thought it should provide. So far I haven't messed up a manouver but
I'm nagged by the thought: How can I tell if my loops are perfect
circles? At present I go to full power at the vertical phase and over
the top but then throttle...

cleaning engine by
Robert M. Gary
Looks like I've got an oil leak in my 550 hr SFNEW IO-360-A3B6
Lycoming engine. My mechanic says I should clean the engine and see
where its coming from. I feel strange cleaning the engine. He said to
use an automotive engine cleaner and then wash it off right away. I
guess its not different than...

Online source for POH by
Jim
I'm looking for a good online source for POH's for my students. I want them
to purchase a POH for the plane they fly so they have their own copy. Any
leads, links or help is appreciated. Google doesn't give me many leads.

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

Is the YouTube video legit. by
Greg Hall
This guy is kitesailing and a 737 comes by and his kite snags on the
empennage. Off he goes into the wild blue yonder. Is this video a hoax?

12 dead this weekend from GA crashes by
Skylune
6 in South Carolina, 3 in Wisconsin, 3 in Florida (another Cirrus).
A current AOPA focus is to make sure flying remains affordable for owners
of "tired iron."
They awarded a 1974 plane to a lucky winner in Colorado.
On this web page a writer laments that GA planes don't have locking gas
caps.

Why a triplane? by
Ricky
I am not an expert on aerodynamics so I do not know much about the
pros & cons of a monoplane vs. a biplane or triplane.
I've a re-kindled interest in the Red Baron recently and was looking
at a Fokker Triplane replica picts & videos and doing a bit of reading
about it's flying characteristics.

Bad Week for Airbus by
Phil
On top of last week's A340 incident, now an A330 experienced a sudden
depressurization on a shakedown flight. Among the injuries to
passengers were spinal injuries. Sounds like the pilot may have
abruptly dived the aircraft while some passengers were still standing
in the aisle. Or would people...

Sold out by IFR by

I used to subscribe to IFR until I realized that they offered a much better
rate to new subscribers than to existing ones. After realizing this, my
four year old decided to subscribe :-). Today he recieved a solicitation

Emergency Procedures by
RD
How many of you have memorized all the emergency procedures. The only one I
really know is the engine failure procedure. I have to admit, if any other
emergency was to develop I think I'm unprepared and it's time I do some
re-familiarization of procedures.
On a side note, I'm a bit confused about...

instruction "to try to curb the runway incursions and controller errors."
At my home base, which is a class C airport in Syracuse, NY, the

T-hangar's bi-fold door: Convert to a motorized opening door? by

Here's a silly question: Is there any way to convert a t-hangar's
manually opening bi-fold door to a motorized one?
I just rented a t-hangar that uses a circular chain hanging off a large
pulley near the top of the hangar to control the door. The chain must
be pulled thirty to forty times to...

US Airways - NEVER AGAIN !!! by
Robert Henry
I used to fly a considerable amount
of commercial. I plan to never fly commercial again. Doesn't matter where
the problem(s) lies, commercial airline travel sucks big time.
Me too - same sentiment. The airlines refuse to adopt SOPs to handle the
weather and FAA issues, imho.

New Orleans Lakefront Airport by
Dan Luke
CNN video: NEW looks bad; partially under water. Heavy damage to most
buildings, particularly the large Millionaire FBO west of 18/36.
Wonder how long it will be before we make the $100 muffaletta trip to
Lakefront again--if indeed we ever do?

Lost stories here by

Post your lost story here, so we can all laugh at them.
My first one is "The lake that shouldn't be there". I was flying from north

of Fort Worth. No radios of any type in my little Taylorcraft. All was
well. A nice...
