Rolling a 172 - or not by
Scott Lowrey
If I'm crusing along at 100 KIAS in a 172 in clear air and I roll left
while maintaining neutral rudder, what will happen if I don't

and either completing the roll (doubtful) or stalling into a dive...

FAA throws pilots under the Airbus by
Jim Logajan
FAA doesn't bother with suspension - goes straight for the revocation:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/28/us/28plane.html
Pretty harsh for pilots who don't appear to have had any other blemish on
their lengthy records.
Revocation would seem to be appropriate for actions that are deliberately...

Runway ID by
Lakeview Bill
The original poster got it right with his use of the phrase "Runway ID",
because it is, in fact, an ID based on a number, as opposed to some type of
number.
What is the magnetic heading of Runway 5?
If someone is named "Fred", do you refer to them as "Zero Fred"?
The point is, we are dealing...

How fast was the rocket going when it released the record-setting
scramjet? If the rocket was going Mach 9 in the thin atmosphere at
100,000 feet and released a stone, for example, the stone would travel
several seconds at close to Mach 9. I assume that the rocket was not
going Mach 9, but I...
