-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've been reading the POH for my club's 182RG, and I find myself surprised. The manual gear extension replies upon the same hydrolic pressure system as the powered mechanism. Isn't that insufficiently redundant? I'm not sure what I expected - perhaps...

Can someone offer a non-mathematical EXPLANATION (as opposed to DESCRIPTION) of why the speed of headwind and crosswind components of a wind add up to more than the speed of the wind? Thanks.

Just found this group a few days ago, it looks like it is interesting. I started taking private pilot cert. lessons this weekend. I logged my first two hours. The first half hour was windy and I was questioning why I wanted to do this, but we went back out the second day for just over an hour...

No not me, I have only 90 or so hours and no money. It will belong to a friend of mine who recently decided that he probably won't live forever so he'd best enjoy things while he can and bought himself a nice V tail Bonanza. Not sure about the model but it has an injected Continental IO-550...

I'm thinking about taking flying lessons, but I have a condition in one of my eyes that may cause me to fail the medical. As I understand it, the 3rd class medical requires 20/40 in "each eye separately". I have a condition in the optic nerve of my left eye that limits its detailed vision. I still...

The guy complaining about the next door airport got me thinking more about a question that's been rolling around in my head for some time. I'm not a pilot (yet), don't own a plane, or even any significant land, but I've kind of wondered..... If I owned enough land somewhere "could" I just land my...

I would like to rewrite my JAR licence (PPL) into a FAA licence. I already have a validation (US licence based on foreign licence). Do anybody know the procedure? I know that I don't need a regular american licence to fly in the US but because of some special reasons I try to get a stand alone...

Two questions about VFR x-country from CRQ (Palomar, Carlsbad CA) to LRU (Las Cruces, NM): 1) What's the best VFR route for a low time pilot. 2) What's the best time of year so that stranded in LRU by bad or IFR conditions. Thanks,

I've got a question about the glass panel displays in the C182 (or any other aircraft for that matter). I was reading this month's edition of AOPA Pilot magazine and the cover story is the C182T and the new glass panel displays Cessna decided to incorporate and it got me thinking. My question is:...
