Does anybody know why on the Denver Terminal Area Chart, the Byers (BVR 113.5) vor/dme facility is charted without the compass ring that are on most vortacs? It's the only one I've seen charted like this. Byers is located 33NM on the 090 radial of DVV (the Denver International Vortac). Thanks,...

I'll be flying one of our 172's down to Santa Monica (KSMO) sometime in the next few weeks, probably this coming Friday (returning the following day). I'll be arriving from Oakland, stopping somewhere like Santa Maria or San Luis Obispo for lunch before arriving IFR into SMO with a couple of...

I've decided to upgrade my old Telex headset, and have narrowed my choices to the Bose X or the David Clark X11. Any comments, positive or negative, about either of these two headsets? Thanks. Martha

Our EAA chapter had a 40' hangar door that split in the middle and folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with large steel pins that dropped...

On Tuesday, May 17 Robert Bosley was murdered by an intruder who broke into his home. Bob was a good friend of mine. I was also his CFI. At the exact time we were scheduled to fly together on Saturday, I will instead be attending his funeral. He was a good man, a good father and husband, a good...

OK, you have to humor me on this. I'm not talking about anything unrealistic (like Moller's skycar, etc). But what would prevent a design (even low performance/ultra light to start) that would allow a pilot to fly into an airport, then fold up his wings and cruise down surface streets at 45mph? It...
