Do you ever use standby on your transponder? by
Maule Driver
I don't. It stays on 24/7 (you know what I mean). 1200 unless given a
code. It effectively prevents "Maule, check your transponder" unless
using the wrong code.
I make no attempt to turn it off or go to standby while taxiing or
anything else. I've never been asked to go to standby or...

Would you fly on this airline? by
Jay Honeck
KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have
sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god,
following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the
carrier said Tuesday.
I wonder what the Boeing service manual says about this?

Hey, all. I'm looking for a bit of wisdom here. Background is, I'm a
system administrator whose job just dissolved in a corporate buyout and,
after being promised that if I came over I'd keep my salary and title, I was
sleazed into a 30% paycut (given a single day to either sign it or hit the...

My first solo - and the worst flight of my life by
Monarch Student
I left this morning for my first supervised solo. My flight
instructor is a new guy, about 25 who's never taught students before a
month ago. But he seems to know his stuff, so I've put up with him
for this long.
Until today.
We take off from Addison to McKinney TX airport, arrive at...

Accident Prone Pilots by

Interesting article on Aviation Week's website.

I've always maintained that GA's accident record could be significantly
improved if there was an effective "wash-out" process that removed the
"sludge" at the bottom...

Questions pondered at 6500 feet by
Jay Honeck
We enjoyed a 45 knot tailwind all the way to our favorite fly-in restaurant
today (The CAVU Cafe, in Janesville, WI ).
This blessing naturally switched to a 45 knot curse on the way home.
Droning along has its advantages. The headwind gave my kids ample time for
a nap, and gave Mary and me...

Violating Airspace with GPS by
John Bell
It appears that a lot of pilots are violating airspace even with GPS on
board.
I would like to hear some feedback as to how pilots are violating airspace
with GPS. I address this in my online book, www.cockpitgps.com. I have my
hypothesis, but I would like to hear your experience or scenarios...

New Orleans Lakefront Airport by
Dan Luke
CNN video: NEW looks bad; partially under water. Heavy damage to most
buildings, particularly the large Millionaire FBO west of 18/36.
Wonder how long it will be before we make the $100 muffaletta trip to
Lakefront again--if indeed we ever do?

Public Aerobatics - a Disaster waiting to happen... by

I have long expressed my opinion that public displays of low level
aerobatics entails risk vastly out of proportion to any benefits,
perceived or real... Aerobatic displays do not improve public support
for general aviation nor for the preservation of local airports...

What it's all about by
Jay Honeck
Yesterday was one of those glorious early spring days that can only
happen in the Midwest. The air was crisp and dry, so that when you
stood in the sun you were warm, but a step into the shade required a
sweater. The wind sock was just flopping around, the horizon was razor
sharp, and the pattern...

What is a "Forward Skip"? by
Gary G
Hi folks - I'm somewhat new to flying.
I heard references to "forward slip" to get rid of altitude on approach.
Can someone give me the 2 sentence (or how ever many is adequate) to
what a forward slip procedure is?
Thanks!

"Aluminum Overcast" damaged by gear collapse by

The B-17 bomber owned by the Experimental Aircraft Assn. was damaged
yesterday at Van Nuys airport when its main gear collaped.
From the videos on TV, you could see its tail wheel firmly on the
ground, when the main gear retracted, and the aircraft dropped onto the
runway. The crew must had had...

DC-10s as Water Bombers? by

Over on the binary channel "alt.binaries.pictures.aviation" someone has
posted a supposedly authentic picture of an experimental DC-10 jetliner
dropping a prodigious (to say the least) amount of water on a ground target.
It looks like they could have extinguished the recent Southern...

Damaged aircraft - should I pay? by
Hilton
Hi,
Right now (1pm West Coast time) on cnn.com, there is a picture of numerous
overturned planes. Presumably insurance pays for this and since I pay for
insurance, should I feel a bit bummed that these owners didn't fly their
planes to safety and help lower my insurance costs? Taking it to the...
