Cockpit visit by
Icarus
Greetings to all.

especially since 9/11, and its variant is:
Can passengers on commercial flights, during the flight, visit the
flightdeck (with captain's
permission, of course!)?
Essentially, is it the FAA or IATA that makes...

TRT-250 manual by
Juan Jimenez
I have an old TRT-250 transponder maintenance manual, for the ORIGINAL
analog TRT-250 (not the 250D digital version). This transponder is no longer
supported by Free Flight Systems and I suspect few shops take them in for
repair, as some of the parts are simply not available (most importantly,...

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...

Juan Jimenez
For those of you who may find a need for this (which probably won't be too
many of you), I put my copy of a KR-20 marker beacon receiver install and op
manual (with pinouts, that's why I put it up), on the site. You can download
a small PDF file at http://www.bd5.com/kr-20.pdf

Any way to view Jepp "Text Pages" CD? by

Those PDFs are driven by the "TEXT" tab in JeppView. Click on the "TEXT"
tab and you will be led to a series of pages that are similar to the NOTAM
pages in a Jeppesen paper subscription

Does an "IFR approved" GPS placard require database updates? by
Doug
In regard to insurance, unless your insurance excludes it, you are
covered. So read your policy, paying close attention to the exclusions.
I can't imagine that a policy would exclude coverage for something like
that. All mine requires is the airplane be in annual at the anniversary
date of the...
