The Worst Aviation Movie of All Time by
Jay Honeck
We often talk about the BEST aviation movie here, but how 'bout the
worst?
Having spent nearly a year of my life showing aviation movies every
Tuesday night in our theater at the hotel, I am in a somewhat unique
position to comment on this. I've seen over 50 aviation movies in a
row, and can lend...

Instrument rating?? by
Paul Folbrecht
I had always planned on getting my instrument rating- within the next
year, probably. But last weekend I had a chat with someone who really
got me thinking about it.
This guy is a friend of a friend and is a retired 20,000 hour ATP.
Retired in the 80s flying 707s and I forget what else. ...

I have never really seen the terms used with light aircraft flight

WAAS question -- altitude accuracy? by
Craig Davidson
Jay Honeck wrote in message ...
How accurate is GPS for determining altitude, now that WAAS is active?
I was in the air over five hours yesterday, and while droning along found
that our new AvMap's altitude readout was just about dead-nuts accurate --
it was maybe 50 feet off, at times.
In...

Harrison Ford Mistakenly Lands Husky On KSNA Taxiway by
Larry Dighera
Is it time for venerated pilot Harrison Ford to ground himself for less than
adequate judgment skills to act as Pilot In Command?
The runway is the one with the big "20L" painted on its near-end.
This ignominious incident is worse than Senator Inhoff's landing on a taxiway
because there was a...

QB and QAon by
Greg Boyd
I was told by a good source from law enforcement to avoid the Quiet Birdmen
As they are related to and have similar beliefs as QAon. Aviation does not need these cancers.

Citabria Fuel-Flow Problem by
quietguy
The A/C in question is a 1974 Bellanca 7ECA, re-engined with an O-320
so it's effectively a 7GCAA. It belongs to the Offutt AFB Aero Club
and has seen very little use, often sitting for weeks at a time until
a week ago when I began taking dual in it 2-3 times a week to get my
tailwheel...

Heart trouble by
C J Campbell[_1_]
It appears that I am having a little bit of trouble with my heart. It
came on rather suddenly, as an EKG last December showed no problem at
all. But apparently I have developed something called an atrial
fibrillation. It doesn't look good for my flying status, but we shall
see.

"Flying too High" by Steven Pomper by
Skylune
Holy cow. A friend of mine (a like minded person who wants GA to be
professionalized and regulated -- no its not regulated now) just referred
me to this excellent piece of journalism. A bit dated, to be sure, but
still relevant. (Ironic that this was being written at the same time GA
schools...

$16,619.85 by

That's the cost for your ticket in Europe.
(Assuming 55 hours, *not* including the seven tests, materials and ground
school.)
One hour of dual training in the U.K. - $315.27
One hour of single engine trainer rental in the U.K. - $285.27
One gallon of 100LL in Europe - $13.00
I'm glad I'm on...

OK, what the hell has happened to the Brits? by

Now the British airline pilots are considering refusingto fly if there is an
armed security guard on a flight, citing the danger of a gunshot in a
pressurized airliner.

CFI without commercial? by
Jay Honeck
What are the rules nowadays for getting your CFI? Is a commercial rating
required before you can become a CFI? I imagine it is, since you're
"flying for hire"...?
I know you *used* to be able to get your CFI without an instrument rating,
but I understand that is no longer allowed,...
