Where to post questions? by WhenTurtlesFly
'Cause I have one- Filed to cruise at 8500. Two GPS's (old simple one in the plane and my new portable) say I'm at 8500, but pressure altimeter says I'm at 8000. I of course set my altimeter to departing airport elevation, which should calibrate it to current pressure and nonstandard...

Navigation strategy on a short flight by Mxsmanic
From Phoenix to Casa Grande in a Cessna 152 in my sim: The aircraft contains only a single VOR, without DME, and an ADF. There are a couple of VORs nearby, including PXR at Sky Harbor, and Stanfield about 8 miles southwest of Casa Grande (connected by V105/J92). There's also a NDB at Chandler,...

Add your own 'lessons learned' by a[_3_]
This one did not break my airplane, but. . . Landing in a cross wind at an uncontrolled airport -- it might have been Urbana IL, not sure. Anyhow, there was a large barn not too far from the centerline on the upwind side of the runway. I pretty much had most of the rudder in, maybe 5 feet agl,...

Ideas for an unusual aircraft ID? by Morgans[_2_]
Today, an aircraft went over that reminded me about a post of a couple days ago, when a poster talked about the awful noise a Beech Starship made, as it went over. I had a remarkably similar experience with my sighting today. I heard this plane coming straight at me at around 3,000 feet and was...
