Way off topic, but it has do to with the French by Tina
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralysing the...

Why GA is Dying by Kyle Boatright
After I landed from this morning's flight, a young guy (maybe 18 or 20 years old) came over, complimented my airplane and asked if he could take some pictures. Of course, I was flattered and told him to shoot away. He hung around and we talked for 20 minutes or more as I wiped down the...

$98 per barrel oil by Jay Honeck
Well, boys and girls, here it comes. $4/gallon gas in America. This will translate into $7/gallon avgas soon enough. Our last fly-in guest at the hotel was almost two weeks ago... (And we just had our 28th consecutive sell-out weekend, so business is booming...) :-( -- Jay Honeck

Did you ever give up on an IR? by No Such User
I wonder if I have what it takes to get an instrument rating. I can fly just fine when the air is smooth, but if there's any turbulence I can last at most two minutes before I have to choose between taking off the hood or losing my lunch. The general consensus seems to be that this will go away...

Jet fuel A-1 specific gravity by [email protected]
When I was involved in the design-build project of at least two A-1 pipelines here in the United Arab Emirates, I recall seeing the bid documents state the Specific Gravity of A-1 as being between 0.78 and 0.84. Can anyone point me to a link that endorses this range as an accepted international...

GPS Altitude with WAAS by Phil Verghese
I posted earlier about seeing differences of up to 500' between the altitude shown on my Garmin GPS 196 (even while receiving WAAS) and my altimeter. The GPS would consistently indicate higher than the altimeter. Dan Luke suggested the cause might be non-standard temperatures. After some more...

Pirep: Garmin GPSMAP 296 versus 295. (very long) by Jon Woellhaf
I got my first GPS, a Magellan, in April of 1995. I thought it was an absolute marvel - and it was, at the time. I got my second GPS, a Garmin GPS III Pilot, in November of 1997, for about $650. It was a hundred times better than the Magellan. I got my third GPS, a Garmin GPSMAP 295, in February of...

Letter from TSA by Rosspilot
I opened my mailbox today and found a letter from the Transportation Security Administration. "Gulp", I thought to myself. What did I do? Turned out to be an answer to a letter I had written months ago (July) regarding the damn Presidential TFRs, and the difficulty they were presenting to...

Letter from TSA? by Emily
Got one this week (or last week, I've been out of town) that says that new rules for CFI's have been implemented, etc, etc, etc. The odd thing is, it looks like it was printed on a $50 printer and wasn't even in an official envelope like I'm used to seeing from the FAA. It really only had a...

Bonanza crash caught on video by Jay Honeck
http://fox40.trb.com/ In an amazing coincidence, a Sacramento TV station was at Cameron Park airport filming background for a story about the crash of a plane that had departed earlier in the day and caught a second crash on video. Go to the web site and click on "Cameron Park Plane Crash" on the...

Mercenary Air by Larry Dighera
US Contractors are not subject to US law nor Iraqi law, nor the Geneva Convention, nor the Freedom Of Information Act. If Blackwater is acting irresponsibly on the ground, imagine what they can do in the air. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/business/20080602-1402-brazil-us-embraer.html ...

Catastrophic Decompression; Small Place Solo by Aviation
I have two questions inspired by Hollywood movies. In the movies (Goldfinger, Executive Decision and so on), when pressurized aircraft suffer catastrophic decompression at high (25000+ feet) altitude (usually when the bad guy shoots a bullet through a window) everything not tied down gets sucked...

Real stats on engine failures? by Captain Wubba
Howdy. I was discussing with a friend of mine my concerns about flying single-engine planes at night or in hard IFR, due to the possibility of engine failure. My buddy is a CFI/CFII/ATP as well as an A&P, about 3500 hours, and been around airplanes for a long time, so I tend to give credence to his...

Frequency of convictions for lying on FAA medical form by Sally Grozmano
Hi, I am familiar with the potential penalties for lying on the FAA medical, but was curious if anyone had any stats on *actual* convictions that have occured for this, and what the associated penalties were? It seems to be "common knowledge" that many pilots do lie, but I never hear of...

pilots refuse to fly with gun loons onboard by nick

VFR position reporting by Mxsmanic
I'm still not clear on the exact procedure for position reports if you are flying VFR over long distances without flight following. To whom do you report your position, and what information should it include? Which positions do you report and how often? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach...
