Becoming a Pilot by
Vixus
I've just got a couple of questions regading a future career as a
pilot, probably beginning after university (Biology).
First of all, I would like to know if ethnicity would pose any barrier
to becoming an airline pilot. All the yahoos that initiated the 9/11
disasters seem to have cast a shadow...

VLA outside U.S.? by
virtuPIC
I presume you mean "LSA," since there's no US "VLA" certification category.
ummm - sorry about the confusion, you are right. I meant LSA (Light
Sport Aircraft). Seems that I am dreaming of a VLJ or so... ;-)

VLA outside U.S.? by
virtuPIC
Hi there,
assume the following:
o FAA medical
o FAA private pilot certificate
o N-registered VLA
May I fly this constellation outside U.S.? Yes, I know that it's no
problem for 'regular' plane - but VLA?

Biplane wing dihedral by
vincent p. norris
Friend of mine said at lunch today that the upper wings of biplanes
have no dihedral. Hementioned specificlaly the Stearman PT-17.
I believe he was mistaken. I know the Sopwith Camel upper wing was
flat but I think the PT-17 and most other biplanes have dihedral in
both wings.
Any expert...

?? Chemistry of fire retardant?? by
vincent p. norris
I read in a recent Av Leak that the stuff fire-bombers drop is a
mixture of phosphate fertilizer and water.
Can anyone tell me how the phosphate functions as a fire retardant?
Is it ammonium phosphate, sodium phosphate, or what?
Thanks. vince norris

Wooden Cigar Box by
vincent p. norris
I have a wooden cigar box and am wondering if anyone can tell me
anything about it.
Almost every industry has an association, and they usually keep
historical records and even have a museum. I'll bet there's an outfit
with a name something like 'Tobacco Institute." Google around till
you find...

Are sectional paths correct across "long" distances? by
vincent p. norris
No. Straight lines on Lambert Conformal maps are not great circles.
It's my understanding that the Lambert Conformal is better than any
other flat surface at representing the curved surface of the earth in
such a way that a straight line on the chart comes very close to being
a Great...
