Hmmm...Peter the Anonymous received some experienced advice - nevertheless, he feels entitled to deride folks' efforts on his behalf. Y'all just didn't READ his note! There IS a difference between a hydraulic drive garden tractor and a tractor, which perhaps Peter is not grasping. In turn, I...

Hi, I noted something very strange while I was "playing" with my flight computer. e.g. W/V: 340/60 TAS: 330 kts True Course: 088° I found a GS of 344 kts (so the TW-component is 14 kts (makes sense up

Hi everyone. I'm in the process of obtaining renters insurance. The two companies that I'm currently looking at are Avemco and AOPA for insurance. I was wondering if anyone has any positive or negative comments or recommendations about either of the two fore mentioned companies. Please let me...

Has anyone seen that AeroScooter? http://www.airscooter.com/ Kind of an interesting idea. So - they oversimplify the web site. "No license is required to fly . . . because it weighs less than 300 pounds . . ." But, it seems as though there are a few other restrictions than that! It looks kind of...

It's always been believed that if an aircraft (US registered) is rented out, a 100hr check is required. People believe all sorts of things that aren't true, including this. I am now trying to find a reference to this in the FARs. You will be looking a long time. The above text doesn't...

I'm still trying to sort out exactly what this means, but if it passes, it can't be good for pilots: http://politics.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/04/21/2058212&tid=103&tid=187 &tid=98&tid=219 The actual bill is at http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:S.786: (as far as I can tell, that...

I would like to use a flight I took two years ago to show I've satisfied the "Long Cross Country" requirement for my Commercial ticket. On that flight, I flew from SMO to O22 (259NM), then to (124NM) in one day, then turned around several days later and flew back - CIC to SZP (353 NM) to SMO...

I have a co-worker who's father just passed away. He'd like his ashes scattered over his home town. I've read a few horror stories in flying magazine. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have a Mooney and am a little concerned about stuff getting blown back in, or all over the wings. ...

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...
