I believe this chain of lawsuits began when Mrs. Lidle found out that her husband's group policy provided for by the Major League Baseball Players Assosiaction (MLBPA) would not be paying out any money to her, as the accidental death clause wording allegedly specifically excludes coverage if the...

I'd appreciate any intelligent input into this idea I've had presented to me. Lately several flight schools have mentioned to me they'd be interested in leasing a light-sport plane from me if I purchased one. One person told me about someone who did this with a new Cessna 172, and it was paid off...

Wow, amazing, huge, inspiring, impressive, and a must see for any aviation enthusiast. The list of planes on display is unreal. F22 Raptor, B1, B2, B52, B36, huge array of the F100 series fighters, B29, B17.... the WWII display is great, not only does it cover the US fighters but it includes many...

Yet another question. Say you're at altitude and it's time to lean the constant speed engine(s). You pull back on the mixture control, the EGT starts to go up. The engine "sounds" more powerful as you do this. The prop might speed up momentarily until the governor does its stuff and keeps it at...

Hi! Abyone out there using any PDA GPS software that works in Europe? I've seen lot's of "shiny" stuff on the net, but all of them are US only. I'm looking for something with an aviation database, terrain would be nice, flightplan features and that will work on a win mobile 5 PDA. So far, only...

Wasn't this my idea a few weeks back? Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters appears to accept that general aviation is not to blame for flight delays at major airports and says her department will impose scheduling restrictions on airlines, if necessary, improve on-time records. The first...

The particular O-320 in our 172N is the sweetest running aircraft engine I have ever known. We maintain it rigorously and proactively and lean aggressively for all ground operations. I have not had to clear a mag once in the 880 hours since it was installed. I flew the plane the day before...

Hi all, I am going to take another step towards my dream the end of this month. I have an interview with Cathay Pacific for a Cadet Pilot Programme. However, during my preparation for this interview, I would like to read up something in the arena of aerodynamics too (just in case...). Can any...
