With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy. However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

Hi all! Is there a way/place where I can find out what brand/model plane is (usually) used to service a certain flight number? I booked my holiday, and am curious what kind of planes I'll be flying in... ;-) Regards, Evert

Hey everyone, if you want to contribute to a great memorial, and get a tax deduction, please consider the Jimmy Franklin Heart Memorial. Anyone who has ever seen Jimmy perform at an airshow knows what type of entertainer and pilot he was (I think he should have been an astronaut). So if you've...

Anybody know how for long the electric fuel-pump in a fuel-injected Piper-Arrow IV can be operated for.? indefinitely ? or intermitantly ? The POH is somewhat vague as it says that the electric pump can be turned-off in cruise and I haven't spotted a limitation in the POH yet. The reason I ask,...

I plan on going to Oshkosh again this year. I enjoy getting there a couple of days early and sit near the flight line and watch all the planes arrive. I think it would be more enjoyable if I had a scanner to listen to air traffic control. Could someone recommend an inexpensive scanner for this...

Jet fuel used be be JP-4 (I believe there was also a JP-5, perhaps others), and is now Jet A. What are the differences?

One Reporter's Opinion: Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Flight (1903-2003) by George Putnam Friday, Dec. 6, 2002 It is this reporter's opinion that in the hustle and bustle of our busy lives today, always on a red-eye to somewhere, we take flight all too much for granted. In commemoration...

According to FAA regulations, is there any restriction on the horizontal separation of aircraft? I was unable to find anything in the FAA regs: http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgFAR.nsf/MainFrame?OpenFrameSet Part 91, Section 111 ("Operating near other aircraft")...

It's always been my understanding that jets are inherently uneconomical to fly at low altitudes because of the amount of fuel they burn down where the air is thick. Now I read in the NY Times (http://nytimes.com/2004/06/14/business/14CND-ARMS.html?hp) that Boeing just beat out Lockheed for an...

When I got my first DVD of sectional images from the FAA I was thrilled by the quality of the scans. I did, however, notice that the sectionals had wide-ranges of colors to denote similar elevations. This was especially noticeable out west where the sectionals meet. Lately I've noticed that some...

Hello: I'm not a pilot. Saw a show on the first 707 on the WINGS TV channel regarding the barrel roll the test pilot did (unexpectedly) on the first test flight of the dash- They said that he was able to maintain a constant 1g during the maneuver.

Here is an interesting question: the USAF KC-767 deal was supposed to keep the 767 line open, but this deal is dormant. If the USAF doesn't act soon, they won't be able to buy 767s as the line closes real soon. With this in mind; how are they going to buy E-10s (767-400ERs) if the line is closed?

Who are are the main manufacturers of airliner seats ? Do Boeing / Airbus and other airliner manufacturers design and make their own or are they supplied under contract by companies that specialise in the manufacture of seats ? How much standardization is their in seats ... i.e. are they...

I want to punish the French because they are a bunch of traitors. What do I need ?

I'm going to be in plane camping at Oshkosh this year, and I'm wondering how I'm going to keep my camera batteries and iPod charged. I know from harsh experience that keeping the airplane master on to use a cigarette lighter adaptor runs down the plane battery pretty damn fast, so that's not a...

How fast does air around the fuselage of a plane move compared to its velocity. for example, if a plane is flying very close to the ground at 300mph per hour over my head, will I get blasted by 300mph gust? somebody let me know. thanks.

Is it possible to upload / download routes / waypoints from / to a kln94. If so which programme can be used and must the unit be in "programme mode" mode ? programme mode is Switch unit on while pressing the "cursor" button. Thanks
