The Airnav fuel report says the highest avgas price in the country right now is $7.42. http://www.airnav.com/fuel/report.html It didn't take long to find out where. Atlantic Aviation at Teterboro (http://www.airnav.com/airport/KTEB). $7.42 a gallon, that's breathtaking!

For what it is worth, I just received the following notice: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APA 35 October 1, 2004 Contact: Greg Martin or Tony Molinaro

Does anybody have a good handle on when ATC wants you to read back altimeter settings? On a single IFR flight on Tuesday, I encountered several controllers who I'd check in with, and they'd give me an altimeter setting, and that would be it, and 2 (both in Canada, BTW) whom when I didn't read back...

More great press for GA airport security. ////////// Two 14-year-old boys from Big Bear are doing OK tonight. Police say they suffered minor injuries after stealing an airplane from the Big Bear Airport and crash-landing it in Joshua Tree National Park last night. The boys' apparent joy-ride...

Do real aircraft abruptly pitch upward on take-off during rotation, or is this an artifact of my simulator? I find that I must put the stick forward slightly as soon as the nose rises, or I risk a tail strike. This is especially true on small aircraft, such as the Baron 58. Large jets seem to do...

I've got a flight wrench marked Duz-all, and was hoping someone could tell me exactly what it was used for. There is a slot on the bottom and what looks to be a screwdriver on the other end. It's number 696, the first tool on this page: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ Thanks for taking a...

CNN is reporting that the pilot was a Yankee's pitcher: Lidle. He apparently got his license only 7 months ago. Bragged about how safe his plane was. I have a feeling this is similar to JFK junior's case of not knowing one's limitations. Sinan -- A. Sinan Unur...

Admittedly, I didn't exhaust all search strings to find this topic discussed in these forums, but I didn't see any hits, on my first few attempts... I am interested in hearing thoughts on the encounters that are linked off of the AvWeb...

Does anyone have a sample aircraft partnership agreement or a link to one that I could review? TIA

I took my Arrow up to 10,500 today to check out my fingertip O2 measuring device. I can maintain 90-93% saturation with deep breathing and no supplemental O2. Anybody know what the minimum safe level is for daytime? I guess it might be cumulative, i.e. the longer you go at 92% the less safe it...

One of the members of my club has proposed that we add TKS de-ice to our two 182s. Apparently, such a system is to become available later this year. My reaction at first was negative. After all, in our near-NYC location, the utility of such a tool is limited to a few months a year. Surely we...

The other day I was doing a VFR practice approach into Tracy, CA when the controller told me "reporting canceling IFR this freq, or on ground via land line...". I told him "uh, ok canceling IFR, I didn't believe I was IFR" (because I hadn't asked for or received an IFR clearance). The controller...

Hey, Some of you may have heard of Air Canada 143 http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=dfJIpA2gv1g] which ran out of fuel in mid air and had to make an emergency descent at velocities way above the normal limits. The pilot's makeshift technique was to engage a sideslip to decelerate the aircraft (which...
