Club Management Issue by
Geoffrey Barnes
First off, I'm not directly involved in this situation, but I am trying to
gain an understanding on how other FBOs and flying clubs deal with something
like it.
One of our club members was flying our 182 -- which the club leases from the
two gentlemen who own it -- and had what appeared to be an...

Let's move on by
Viperdoc[_5_]
Anthony will never admit he's wrong, even though he's asked some of the most
naive and ignorant questions, ones that truly demonstrate his lack of
knowledge and experience.
For the real pilots and students, I suggest joining Pilots of America, a
moderated group. It is what this NG used to be,...

Jet Flies On With One Engine Out on Nonstop Trip to London by
Larry Dighera
Here's food for thought. The pilot chose to press on on three
engines, and then had to land for refueling ~100 miles short of his
transatlantic destination.

Microsoft FSX Real-Life Weather by
Jay Honeck
We had a pilot and his wife with us at the hotel Sunday who was
waiting for the wind to drop before departing for home. The winds
were really howling here, gusting to over 30 knots, and they didn't
want to do the "imitation popcorn popper" ride all the way home to
Missouri.
While they were...

Another reason to fly GA... by
john smith
I learned today that the TSA has a rule that prohibits a passenger from
purchasing a new ticket on a flight departing in less than two hours if
that passenger has no luggage... even if the airline of a connecting
flight has lost your luggage.

private pilot FAA written and about halfway through flight school.
I'm training in a Cessna 172SP and have a question for the experienced

The President's Space Initiative Speech by
Jay Honeck
I caught most of it -- and it was fantastic! To hear a president actually
promoting manned space travel, and laying out a plausible, doable plan to
get our space program back on track, was a breath of fresh air on a bleak
and dreary January day.
Hell, maybe we'll set foot on Mars before I die...

UAV's and TFR's along the Mexico boarder by
John Doe
How much of the American boarder with Mexico is out of radar contact?
There was some fuss about the FAA creating TFRs for the UAVs that are flying
with boarder patrol along the Mexico. Why can't the UAV just fly along
under an IFR flight plan and everyone else just avoid the little thing...

Knee Jerks by
[email protected]
Why is it everytime someone posts an accident, there are those who
quickly make a decision or pronouncement that it was stupid, or the
pilot was a moron, or, etc, etc, and never have a clue as to the real
happenings?
Why does it take well trained professional crash investigators to do a
