Hi everyone, I have a question for people who fly in CT, and NY often. Today I was flying from Danbury (DXR) to Brookhaven (HWV). I flew out without incident. Coming home I flew from Brookhaven direct to Calverton then to Bridgeport then direct Danbury using a combination of my sectional chart and...

So, Wichita, Kansas seems to be blessed with a lot of airports and the sectional chart looks pretty busy. To the east of Wichita Mid Continent (ICT), there is Col. Jabara (towerless), Beech Factory (private field w/ tower), McConnell AFB, etc. McConnel's Class D just grazes Beech's towered...

I'm still in a bit of a quandry as to how to learn to make coordinated turns in a PC simulator that does not include a motion platform. I've turned on the visual alignment indicator that MSFS provides, which is a red "V" that sits squarely ahead in the visual field, effectively bolted to the...

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,...

Mary and I flew to West Bend, Wisconsin (KETB) today. It was supposed to be CAVU all day, except along the Lake Michigan shoreline (where they were getting stomped with lake-effect snows all day), but, of course, the forecast was just a bit off, as it often is in winter. From Dubuque (DBQ) to...

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/flights/2007-11-08-saa-jet_N.htm?csp=Travel Maybe a broken fuse pin like the one that brought down that El Al 747 in Amsterdam back in '92? I know airline pilots train for power loss during critical phases of flight, but I wonder how differently the plane handles...

http://koin.com/Global/story.asp?S=6018883 Bummer, but he's alive. He'd just purchased the plane this morning, coming to Troutdale (probably for fuel) and had to make an emergency landing in a suburb about a mile or so from the runway. To the west is Blue Lake (shallow) and to the east...

I downloaded the some good books from http://www.e-publishing.af.mil thanks for the links C J C Is there an online source for "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators"? Blue skies to all.

My instructor has over 100 hrs on the Skymaster, and he always said that the problem with the Skymaster crashes were untrained piltos who didn't take imemdiate actions when needed. He mentioned the Synchrophaser gauge, that would show you which engine was doing the work. IT either pointed forward...

Any tried this headset yet in their airplane? A friend tried one at the AOPA Expo but couldn't get a good feel for it outside an operating airplane. Marco -- __________________________________ KFRG Feed - LiveATC.net http://audio.liveatc.net:8012/kfrg.m3u http://alt.liveatc.net/kfrg (if...

Now that my son is taking flight lessons, I'm letting him fly in (Read: Mary is relinquishing) the front seat more often. This plants him squarely in front of our panel-docked Garmin 496, the latest-and- greatest portable GPS from Garmin. We've flown behind this unit since OSH '06, and he has...

The "founder" of this rec.aviation.piloting usenet newsgroup, Jeoff Peck, seems to have discontinued periodically posting its charter. In the hope that knowledge of the charter will improve the newsgroup's ever declining signal-to-noise ratio, I post it he From: Geoff Peck...

I vote for Iowa City! This just in: "'Kiplinger's Personal Finance' ranked Iowa City 10th in its top 50 'Smart Places to Live' list. The rankings are based on cost of living, homes, crime, health care, climate, environment and education." :-) --

Jeppeson sure has a nice little monopoly going. $760.00 to get the updates for my mx 20 and Apollo 60 GPS. Dang.

I always figured that the test on the new Sport Pilot rules would be how the new category would be treated by insurance companies. After all, if I can't get insurance, I can't rent the Cub! Here's the answer, which also indirectly addresses the question of how much safety we're giving up by...
