Practicing SFLs with a constant speed prop - how? by
Ed
I'm fairly new to GA after a 19 year break flying jets. I routinely
fly a single engine experimental with a constant speed prop mounted on
a Lycoming IO-360.
2 QUESTIONS:
1. What's the proper setup to simulate the way the plane would glide
in case of an engine failure? I'm looking for pitch...

We lost a good one.... by

On Tuesday, May 17 Robert Bosley was murdered by an intruder who broke
into his home. Bob was a good friend of mine. I was also his CFI. At
the exact time we were scheduled to fly together on Saturday, I will
instead be attending his funeral. He was a good man, a good father and
husband, a good...

running over-square by
Dan Luke[_2_]
This weekend the Cessna Pilots Ass'n put on one of their 2-day Systems &
Procedures classes at Sporty's in Batavia Ohio. This one was for 182S, 182T
and T182S/T owners. About 20 owners attended, and it was well worth the trip
and cost.
Anyhow, one of the best tips I picked up from John Frank...

Difficult Strips by
C J Campbell
It is all relative. A 5000 foot paved runway that is 150 feet wide can be
challenging to a 747 pilot.

Brakes? by
WingFlaps
Simple question, when refuelling should brakes be on or off (for a
light plane)? I've been told both answers with logical reasons for
both. What should I do???

Hi everybody
We are two Danes and two Austrians who have thought of flying around
the Carribean for about a month in late winter/wpring 2004. Just from
looking at the map we figure it should be possible to do some loop
around the Caribbean Sea (Cuba - Haiti - Domenican Rep. - Puerto Rico

Doubts raised in jet crash by
Dave Butler
A neighbor sent me this article about a 1967 crash near Hendersonville, NC. The
controlling ATC was the Asheville TRACON. This predates the online NTSB accident
archive, but I once had a hardcopy of the accident investigation. I'll look for it.
I found the original online at...

C-172 Fuel by

I fly a 172 F.
The fuel selector says to select single tank operation at or above 5000
feet.
If you leave the selector in the "both" position, under 5000 for any
prolonged period of time (couple of hours) the right tank appears to go
down more quickly than the left. This is confirmed at...

Daddy! What did you do?!!! by
Steve Schneider
One of the advantages of flying is that you can pack so much more into
your weekends. Last weekend was a typically busy one for us. We had
plenty to do around the house, I had to help a neighbor move, and we had
a dinner to help with at the Fallbrook Air Park (L18) for some 80 odd
people -- oh,...

Turbulence and airspeed by

Mary and I flew to West Bend, Wisconsin (KETB) today. It was supposed to be

getting stomped with lake-effect snows all day), but, of course, the
forecast was just a bit off, as it often is in winter.

LOUD by
Scott Lowrey
I reside about 6 miles off the departure end of MSP runway 12, so I'm
used to hearing a lot of jet traffic. I've only lived here for 6
months but I quickly adjusted to the noise. It's acutally not that
bad, excepting the venerable DC-9.
Today, though, what looked like an F-18 flew over. Wow. I...
