Push to Talk Switch by
Jackal24
I need to get a push to talk switch for the Cessna's I rent now. I have
noticed that they are very expensive for what they are (a switch). Is it
legal to build my own from Radio Shack type parts? If so, does someone have
the specs?

Questions on high altitude pressures by
es330td
At low altitudes the rule of thumb is that a one thousand foot
increase in altitude results in a one inch of mercury decrease in
pressure; at least that is what happens when I turn the little knob on
my altimeter. Since commercial planes flight well into the FL300+
range, clearly that rule cannot...

Mass Production of Aircraft by
[email protected]
We could have inexpensive aircraft. They do not violate the laws of
physics. However it probablly does violate laws of human nature.
You must have, first, a large potential market. Consider: Wichita.
In the benighted Kingdom of Sedgwick, no one flies. The overwhelming
vast majority of aircraft...

Who needs terrorists when we have Dell? by
cjcampbell
So, Dell has exploding laptops. Reminds me of the old days in Hollywood
when every computer in a Universal picture eventually exploded. Geeks
smirkingly called them the Explodatron 2000. Now instead of the
Explodatron 2000 we have Dell! Four million laptops apparently just a
time bomb (literally)...

Impossible to ditch in a field (almost) by
mindenpilot
I live out West, where there are hundreds of miles of empty space in every
direction. When flight planning, I often say, "I can ditch in that dry lake
bed, or that field, or if I have to, on that road."
In a couple of weeks, I'm travelling to North Carolina to visit my brother
for the holidays. ...

Helicopter Question by

As we were flying over to Newton, IA today, we started discussing icing and
snow -- something that we must constantly worry about in these parts for at

As we were talking, we heard a "Flight for Life" 'copter on Unicom, which
got us to wondering how it is that these guys...

faith in the fuel delivery infrastructure by
Chris Hoffmann
I'll probably need an airport tour to answer this to my satisfaction, but I
thought it merited a discussion here anyway.
It seems pretty standard that, after an airplane is refueled, you wait 10-15
minutes and resample the fuel to check for contaminants (water). I recently
witnessed a situation...
