Anyone out there have an Air Gizmo panel mount for their portable GPS device? I've been searching high and low for official word on whether or not such an installation would require a field approval.

All this brings up several things. One, Bush learned to fly in the military at government expense, did not complete his assigned commitment, and flew, if I understand , fourteen months after UPT and has not flown as PIC or SIC since.

I haven't updated the Jepp database in my gpsmap195 since 1998, and thought it about time to do so again. However, it appears I need to upgrade the software to version 3.01 first (the unit is still at v2.06). I have the pc interface cable and have downloaded the update from Garmin's website. ...

I it just me, or does it seem like since Lockheed took over the FSS the briefings have gone from relatively objective to overly conservative? It used to be that you could talk with a briefer and they'd give you the facts and let you make your own decision. Maybe with a "VFR not recommended,...

Using an aircraft's registration number, one can look up on NTSB if it has been involved in accidents. Is it possible to find out if an aircraft has ever had its registration number changed, to make use it hasn't been involved in an accident under a different registration? I'm looking to buy a...

I did have the GA-25 antenna all the while I had intermittent lost sat reception. Bought a new high-gain replacement on line and did the swap last weekend. For 2 days prior to the swap, I would lose reception completely on a S-SE heading. The new antenna shows 10 sats 3/4 way up or better....

Have you ever wondered why they sometimes call the F-16 a "Lawndart" ? Well, the answer is in the video that we have just uploaded on our weekly aviation mishaps, accidents and crases webpage: www.dappa.nl/crash.htm. The pilot ejected safely (seen on video), and only some local worms suffered from...

Recently a few of the regulars on this forum have for various reasons sold their planes. Well, it looks like I'm about to join them. I've been offered a job in Maui, and am likely to accept. I took a few extra days off during the interview trip and talked with folks at Maui Aviators, who rent...
