$640.00 to fill the tanks... by Jay Honeck
Tony Snow, "technical advisor" for our aviation video webpage (Tony is retired RAF, and has forgotten more about aviation than I'll ever know), confirmed for me today that it would cost $640+ for me to top off Atlas -- our Cherokee Pathfinder -- in Great Britain. Imagine! $640 to go fly! This...

If user fees go into effect I'm done by [email protected]
All I have to say about user fees is that if they are implemented and I am going to be nickeled and dimed to death by a bureaucratic nightmare that adds overhead and significantly more per hour cost to an already expensive per hour rate for flying time, I am going to hang up my wings... Just...

Flight to Florida -- The Cure for Winter by Jay Honeck[_2_]

Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off? by cjcampbell
Saw this question on "The Straight Dope" and I thought it was amusing. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/060203.html The question goes like this: "An airplane on a runway sits on a conveyer belt that moves in the opposite direction at exactly the speed that the airplane is moving forward. Does...

Why are multiple engines different? by Mxsmanic
Why is flying a multiengine aircraft a separate certification from the basic license (if I understand correctly)? What is so different about having more than one engine that justifies a separate certification? Apart from a few procedures for the failure of an engine, isn't everything else pretty...

Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC by Mxsmanic
I fly from KLAX to KLAS, using the FMC to handle most of the flight. With the routing I put in, the FMC decides on some default altitudes and includes required altitudes for the arrival and departure procedures I select. Part of what it does is to create a descent schedule from the nominal cruise...

Future of Electronics In Aviation by Le Chaud Lapin
Hi All, I have noticed that each time this subject is broached, there seem to be many who are perturbed by the idea of electronics/software assuming a primary role (control, stabilization, etc.) in GA aircraft. There are some who believe that electronics and software are sorely underutilized. ...

Reno Air Races -- 2600 Miles in 2 Days! by Jay Honeck
2600 miles -- in two days. Whew! We're back from the Reno Air Races (two days early, sadly, to get out ahead of a winter storm system that rolled into the Rockies on Friday afternoon), and I'm here to tell you: Reno ROCKS! I've never seen anything quite like it. In Reno, aircraft engines that...

Mechanics of Elevator Trim. In Detail. by Le Chaud Lapin
Hi All, This post is primarily directed toward student pilots like myself. First, I am not asking because I want to know the answer (I already know), but do a little experiment. I have maybe 7 or 8 different sources of flight information that I rely on for ground school (Jeppesen, FAA Handbooks,...

GA is priceless by Jay Honeck
We just returned from a quick, overnight flight to Wisconsin, to attend a holiday gathering of family and friends, and I simply couldn't help but remark on the incredible utility and convenience of GA. In 90 minutes (as opposed to 5.5 hours) we were parked on the ramp in Racine, plugging Atlas in...

Piper Apache Performance by Robert Bates
I'm thinking about buying an Apache but can't find performance data for a 160hp Geronimo or a turbo. Also, does anyone have real world data for a 180hp Geronimo rather than what's on the website?

Spinner strobing as a "Bird Strike Countermeasure" by Jim Logajan
The following thread on the Van's Air Force web site was of general enough interest that I thought it worthwhile to bring it to the attention of other pilots: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=24147 Would be quite useful if it really worked. Of course there would still be...
