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...

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. ...

Cigarette Lighter Adapter- Cessna 172 by
[email protected]
I've been flying for 7 years now, and a few weeks ago I attempted to
plug in my portable GPS unit into a 2003 172 and ... I couldn't. The
"standard" cigarette adapter has been replaced with a smaller
something. I didn't have time to look too closely as to what the new
outlet is. The GPS was just...

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:

Would be quite useful if it really worked. Of course there would still be...

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...

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...

$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...

MS Flight Sim As a Training Tool by

Okay, I know this one has been beaten up before -- but my eyes are now
wide open to the possibilities a sim can provide. Here are a few data
points for discussion:

"bush flying" in the suburbs? by

Among other aircraft I've been looking at the Zenith Air STOL CH 801

built plane to cart my family around. http://www.zenithair.com
But the advertised 390-ft fully-loaded ground roll got me fantasizing

Flight to Florida -- The Cure for Winter by

brutal Iowa winter!
Here are few PIREPS from the journey:
- Thanks to great weather and a nice tailwind, I climbed to 5500 feet,
leveled out -- and never changed course or altitude again till we touched
down 4.8 hours...

Can a Plane on a Treadmill Take Off? by

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...

Lancair crash at SnF by

AW&ST today had a small article that a Lancair piloted by Gerand
Schkolnk crashed moments after takeoff during the Sun and Fun AirShow.
He was director of Supersonic Technology Programs at Gulfstream.
Anyone have any data on accident other than what AW&ST had?
