"Requesting lower" by
Tony
So here's the deal. You're at 11,000 feet doing say 120 knots over the
ground and your sea level destination is 100 nm ahead. It's late, ATC
is quiet, very little traffic, CAVU, you're pretty sure centger will
give you whatever you ask for.
What would you ask for?
I figure something like this: If...

"Rolling the Equipment" by
Judah
The other night I was on an airline flight...
The weather was VFR.
The plane did a low approach, wheels maybe 50' above the runway, and about
halfway down the runway kicked the engines on and did a go around.
The pilot came on and indicated that there was "an indicator light" that
caused them...

"Rolling" to ATC by
Mxsmanic
Under what conditions, if any, would you explicitly tell ATC that you
are rolling, that is, actually rolling on the runway for take-off?
I hear this used occasionally, but I don't know if there are any
formal circumstances that merit it, or if it is just at pilot
discretion, or what. It is...

"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton by
WolfRat
Current language usage compels me to use the term
"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton. The actual word
we need to use is "fascist." The left, however, has managed
to take the "fascist" word and turn it into an epithet
against right-wingers.
Nazis were fascists, right? Perhaps you might...

"Street pattern" notation on charts? by
[email protected]
Hello all!
I'm wondering about a notation I've seen on a couple of VFR sectional
charts. A small area - no bigger than about 3 or 4 miles on a side -
will be outlined with thin black dashed lines, with a note "street
pattern". The note is in the same typeface used for other landmarks
like "golf...

"Super Guppy" at Heathrow? by

Taxiing in on a just landed United flight at LHR a few weeks
ago, I caught a quick glimpse through a window across the
cabin of what looked (to a non-expert) like a semi-derelict
small-sized "Super Guppy" parked off by a big hangar:
fat fuselage, three engines (one huge one up in the tail),...

One of the few shows I follow on a regular basis (thanks to DVR). The latest
episode had a good 15 minutes of GA and the two planes they flew were
Pipers--an Archer and a J-3 cub. It had all the elements of a very enjoyable
show for me except for the fact that the J-3 was carrying a stolen can...
