Anyone use Air Chart? by Steven Barnes
I saw an ad in AOPA for www.airchart.com . Does anyone have any experience with these charts? My flight instructor recently got them. For someone that does a bit of traveling, it sounds like a great deal. I'm curious how practical they are (in-flight usage, not able to draw the big 'ol line across...

Naval Aviators by jsmith
What's Your Call Sign? Naval aviators often give up their given name for a contrived, loving or humorous nickname.* My staff (me--with a little help from the Mech guy...OK, Dan...a lot of help) has come up with a list of our top-ten favorite call signs.* I hope you will enjoy the list and will...

Are sectional paths correct across "long" distances? by vincent p. norris
No. Straight lines on Lambert Conformal maps are not great circles. It's my understanding that the Lambert Conformal is better than any other flat surface at representing the curved surface of the earth in such a way that a straight line on the chart comes very close to being a Great...

Microsoft Flight Simulator and Garmin aviation handheld GPS by John Bell
I have always thought that it would be a nice training tool to be able to get a handheld GPS to work with Microsoft Flight Simulator. I had success with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, Garmin 196, and Garmin GPS III Pilot. I would imagine that a Garmin 295 would also work. Peter Dowson has some...

Flight to Mesa AZ via Monument Valley UT by Ron Lee
My hanger mate has been considering buying a RV-6A for a few months. We made one trip to Texas to view one but that did not work out. Today we went to Mesa AZ (Phoenix area) from Colorado Springs CO to view another one. My planning generated a trip that straight line was about 478 nm. But that...

FSS vs. automation by Andrew Gideon
I've been planning a little weekend getaway for self, wife, and son for a while now. I've a club airplane lined up, I've paid off the weather gods, and I've arranged for someone to feed the cats. I've also been playing with Aeroplanner just for fun (I've not yet decided if it's a keeper, but I've...

Cabin Pressure Altitude by Greg Esres
14 CFR 121.327 says that "cabin pressure altitude" and "flight altitude" mean the same thing for unpressurized cabins. Now, even though Part 91 doesn't have the same statement, I think it reasonable that the same definition applies to 91.211...

Flying down the Hudson River by SeeAndAvoid
I'll be flying out of White Plains, NY (HPN) to Allentown, PA (ABE) in early June and would like to fly down the Hudson River to the Statue of Liberty then west. It looks like the Class B and TEB's Class D would allow this at 1000' MSL without any clearance or approval, am I right in this...

What's high TT for a Lyc 235? by Paul Folbrecht
My engine has 1200 SMOA and 4500 TT. I can find very little regarding the relevance of total time. Maybe it's close to irrelevant since a MO touches everything anyway. Lyc even zero-times their remans, of course, even they are obviously not truly 0 TT. Just curious about the subject of engine...

AOPA Flight Planner - Microsoft only? by Andrew Gideon
I tried to go to the AOPA Flight Planning web page today, and found that the only option remaining is to download a Microsoft-only application. This seems annoying. Sure, I was able to go directly to the duat web site, and it was fine. But I'm a member of AOPA, and they've eliminated a benefit...
