Secrets to the FAA certificate by
Robert M. Gary
I was at the jewelry store today and noticed that when they put my CA
DL under this machine, there were secret little bears printed on it. On
my CC there was a secret M and C on it. So I pulled out my FAA
certificate and put it under the light. It said something like "Safety
of Flight, FAA" and had...

report a near-collision to FBO owner? by
gatt
While preflighting the Arrow yesterday afternoon I watched a C172 pull up
through the tiedown T right next to me. Not sure why he didn't stop right
at the chains. Instead, he pulled ahead and stopped.
As he was beginning to push the airplane back, the other FBO C172 darted in
from behind and...

FAA ambiguity by
Richard Russell
Begin rant mode.....
There is a thread in the IFR newsgroup regarding pattern entry that
currently has over 50 posts and offers many differing opinions on the
subject. Many of these disparate positions have merit. This rant is
not about pattern entry or the expected personality clashes or...

The Aviator by
Rosspilot
I went to see it yesterday. I thought it was actually pretty good, and thought
DeCaprio pulled off a believable Hughes.
The flying sequences seemed a little hokey, and the crash scenes were typical
Hollywood crap, but for 3 hours, it goes by quickly.

Moving to Canada -- Converting License by

Does anyone have a reference to the requirements to obtain a Canadian pilot
license if one already holds a US one? I have checked the COPA web page,
but can't seem to find anything on this topic.
Thanks.

Essendon Airspace Procedures by
paulsims
Hi guys, can anyone tell me what is required to obtain a clearance from
Essendon Tower to do an orbit around the Melbourne CBD. I trained in
the bush for my recent PPL, but I fly mostly from Moorabbin. What do I
need to request and do I need to have submitted a flight plan.
Thanks

My first freezing rain encounter by
[email protected]
The weather was perfect for flying yesterday morning, sunny, mostly
blue sky with about 12000' ceiling and little wind (unlike the day
before when we canceled our flying plan due to 13G24 wind). As usual,
we checked weather sites, TAF/weather map etc before heading to the
airport. Bad weather is...

24M of Cocaine in a crashed plane by

Anti-collision mechanism by
Ramapriya
Does this get activated only when there's an aircraft in the dangerous
vicinity or will it also trigger if the aircraft is hurtling towards
some terrain such as a hill?
And does every aircraft have this system these days, regardless of
size?

Mexico Multientry by
Robert M. Gary
I plan to go back to Mexico in Feburary. I know there have been a lot
of false starts getting multientry's in Mexico. However, now it sounds
like there may be real multi-entry permits. Does anyone know what I
need to do to get this? What is the cost vs. one time entry?
Thanks!
