Brazil 737-Embraer Crash by
Kobra
Is anyone else out there wondering what in the heck happened here? For
instance, what about the TCAS systems on both these planes? Were they
working and what did they say? Were they talking to ATC and what was being
said? Were they in cruise flight or were they in the terminal area? Did...

Spamming Aholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by
gliderguynj
I read these messages via the Google home page....What do you have to
do, or how can I mark them all read or deleted so I do not have to see

Help With My training by
Gezellig
Last Friday, I went up for an introductory flight lesson out of the San
Carlos airport. WOW!!!!!! I have been dreaming about learning to fly
since I was in my teens. All the time I was in the air the lines of
that famous poem kept going through my head "Oh, I have slipped the

weather for pilots? by
Qzectb
Are there readers in this newsgroup who have a strong interest in
weather as it relates to aviation? I don't mean just the stuff you
need to get from point A to B safely or to pass your written but
deeper knowledge -- where and why does icing occur? The physics of
thunderstorms? Turbulence? ...

BRS by
Gezellig
Recent Cessna Skycatcher chute failed to deploy.
http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1215-full.html#198852
What are the real values, and in what "normal situations" is BRS
worthwhile? Are there significant insurance cost reducs that make this
system cost effective?

Going for my Multiengine rating by
Kobra
Flyers,
For absolutely no reason, except that I want it, I have been taking
Multiengine lessons (including Multi-Instrument and Commercial). The flight
school has a Piper Seneca I (PA34-200) circa 1973.
It fly's like a flying Bulldozer on Codeine (sp?). It's a beast...really.
The controls...

GA bias in "general" insurance? by
Greg Farris
Received yet another mailing offer for disability insurance - from a
reputable company, ready to pay a $250-500K indemnity for complete
disability. The insurance covered accidents at home or at work, and there
were very few outright exclusions. Of the eight or so exclusions they
listed, two...

Warning: 25' wide, 1800' long by
Andrew Gideon
I was circling over N85 in my partnership's non-retractable 182,
considering landing. Someone had just landed there (on runway 26). He
suggested that I might want to consider 31, given the wind direction, if I
was "up to it".
"Up to it"?
I've landed at N85 a few times, but never on this...

New blood by
Peter Duniho
Okay, rather than replying to the individual arrivals' threads, I felt
compelled to start this new one. Is it just me, or is there a palpable
feeling of freshness around here? A certain simmer notwithstanding, it
seems to me that in the recent month or so, we've gotten at least three
other...

Email from MBNA AOPA by
Robert M. Gary
I just got the following email from MBNA ....
"You have a new e-Bill from Bank of America Credit Card - Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Ass : "
I think I'll pay off my $25 balance and cut the thing up. Right now,
USAA seems to have the best rebate on gas. I'm getting 5%.

Good weather -- flying more? by
Jay Honeck
We fly year-round, but many pilots around here seem to shut the hangar
door after Thanksgiving, and not open it again until Easter.
This year, with such unseasonably warm weather, I'm wondering if anyone
is seeing more GA traffic? We're not any more than a normal January
here in Iowa City --...

Oral exam place and questions by
Mxsmanic
I've been reading about oral exams for a private pilot license (in the U.S.),
and two questions have come to mind.
Where does this exam take place? Is it in a classroom, or in a testing
center, or is it actually in the aircraft?
When you are asked math-type questions, are you expected to answer...

condom if the date has already passed.Use a condom every time you have
any kind of sex -- vaginal, anal, or oral. Don't use it more than
once. http://condominformation.blogspot.com/
