From an AP article today: "Officials said that the thousands of general aviation airports - which host recreational planes, business jets, helicopters and other kinds of noncommercial aircraft - must all have security measures that are equivalent to TSA mandates at commercial airports." It would...

Saw this over at LiveATC.net forums. Thought it may be of interest. I thought the controller was very professional and avoided an over the air arguement nicely. http://www.liveatc.net/forum/files/kbos_8-24-05_near_miss_156.mp3 Marco Leon

My instructor has over 100 hrs on the Skymaster, and he always said that the problem with the Skymaster crashes were untrained piltos who didn't take imemdiate actions when needed. He mentioned the Synchrophaser gauge, that would show you which engine was doing the work. IT either pointed forward...

Okay, the Cub I rent has no radio, hence no radio license. I am vaguely aware, each time I use the handheld, that I am operating without a station license. Is this a problem? Should I apply to the FCC for a license, and if so, what sort of license do I want? all the best -- Dan Ford email:...

It is my understanding (always subject to correction) that as a safety pilot you may log PIC time because you are indeed a required crew member for the operation. However, to log PIC time you also must be qualified to act as PIC of that particular aircraft. -- Jim Burns...

I notice that the Citation CJ1s have Collins Pro Line and the Citation Mustangs have Garmin 1000s. Does the Pro Line have any significant advantages over the Garmin 1000? Which might be easier for the single pilot to learn? -Just Curious -Charles Talleyrand

I'll be flying one of our 172's down to Santa Monica (KSMO) sometime in the next few weeks, probably this coming Friday (returning the following day). I'll be arriving from Oakland, stopping somewhere like Santa Maria or San Luis Obispo for lunch before arriving IFR into SMO with a couple of...

Werner Von Braun gave Carol Rosin a work colleague a mission in 1977. To tell the world about the Nazi controlled secret government in the U.S.A. A large part of the NSA, CIA and NASA were infiltrated after Project Paperclip brought over 170 Nazi scientists to the USA after the end of WWII in 1945....

Please excuse me for cross posting. There are two separate discussions going on about the Lowrance Airmap 1000. Mike, I just bought an Airmap 1000. I placed a pirep over on rec. aviation.piloting last night. I've never flown with a 195 or 196. It sounds like they are very nice, but cost more...

Flew into Nashua last Sunday for business, topped off the tanks right after setting down. When I came back from business on Thursday, found the right tank down quite a bit. I was going crazy looking for the leak and checking the drain for seepage, until the line guy pointed out that he filled the...

Looking at the prog charts for the next several days, Texas looks like a mess. Moderate to heavy rains, thunderstorms, yuck. Our plan to head south on Sunday is scrubbed. So, we're looking at heading to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina instead. The progs look great for at least three or four days, and...

***CAUTION -- SHAMELESS PLUG WARNING *** I've been promising this one for six months -- and we have finally finished the Mustang Suite! We took our most popular suite (it's popular because it's our smallest, cheapest Jacuzzi suite) and loaded it up with new wall paper border, carpeting, window...

A continuation rate of 0.26%--not very encouraging. An interesting article: http://www.flyingmag.com/blogs/flying-lessons/why-dont-more-young-eagles-become-pilots

For about 25% of the cost of a new Skylane or Cirrus you can have a 1942 C-47 that saw combat in WWII. Of course, the maintenance and fuel prices might be a little steep - not to mention finding a hanger big enough to hold the plane. Still, wouldn't it be cool to land at some out of the way...

It would seem to me, that the City of Santa Monica committed malfeasance in office by permitting residential development adjacent to the airport many years ago. Perhaps the City should face charges and be held accountable for their actions, if justice is to be served. If the City of Santa...
