Does anybody know why on the Denver Terminal Area Chart, the Byers (BVR 113.5) vor/dme facility is charted without the compass ring that are on most vortacs? It's the only one I've seen charted like this. Byers is located 33NM on the 090 radial of DVV (the Denver International Vortac). Thanks,...

All: I heard a lot of air activity over my Washington, DC home today, and was told later by a friend that an 84-year-old pilot had a total electrical failure on the way from Stafford, VA (KRMN), where maintenance was being performed on his plane. According to my friend, the pilot landed at Indian...

I live out West, where there are hundreds of miles of empty space in every direction. When flight planning, I often say, "I can ditch in that dry lake bed, or that field, or if I have to, on that road." In a couple of weeks, I'm travelling to North Carolina to visit my brother for the holidays. ...

This is how you do USA air defense, Bush and Cheney shmucks: "About 130 miles south of Sea-Tac, two F-15C jets of 142nd Fighter Wing, on alert round-the-clock to defend an area between Northern California and the San Juan Islands, took off. Armed with missiles and a six-barrel cannon, and capable...

Hello all, I have heard rumors in the past that Tinker Air Force Base (OKC) had a flying club. I have looked in the base newspaper, and the tinker homepage with no luck. I have also DAGS. Anyone know if one is still in exsistence, or even fly with them. I heard they may be based out...

It was the 3rd leg of an Angel Flight and I wasn't even supposed to be flying it. I'd already flown the second leg from Natchez, MS to Monroeville, AL, but the 3rd leg pilot had mysteriously failed to show--no call, no nothin'. It was late, I was tired and I was mad. I had two pax aboard. We...

Where can I find information about passes in the rockies to use when flying over them? John

Hi, Our C172 O-320 is well over TBO and needs new cylinders. We are thinking we might just bite the bullet and get a new engine at this stage. The Penn Yan Aero SuperHawk STC looks like a good option since it would give us 180 HP - a nice extra safety margin for our short strip. Has anyone here...

What does "below the line" mean, apparently with reference to checklists? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail.

Hi Group, i have a question concerning a seaplane rating add-on to a Private Certificate ASEL. I'm interested in the ASES-Add-On to my Certificate, but what if i'd like to rent a seaplane after the Rating Add-On, is this possible directly after doing it or do i've to get experience with a CFI...

On Tuesday, May 17 Robert Bosley was murdered by an intruder who broke into his home. Bob was a good friend of mine. I was also his CFI. At the exact time we were scheduled to fly together on Saturday, I will instead be attending his funeral. He was a good man, a good father and husband, a good...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/6294778.stm Interesting that a "Go Around" is considered here as an "unfamiliar manoeuvre" - and that the pilot was "put in a situation beyond his experience" - okay he only had 15 hours of flying time and it was only his second solo, but I was doing...

As many of you know, this was our 24th consecutive Airventure -- and our 8th flying in. I've seen the RIPON/FISK arrival from all angles, both from the ground and in the air, and have seen pretty much everything that could be thrown at us. Although it's always tense, due to the proximity of...

The "founder" of this rec.aviation.piloting usenet newsgroup, Jeoff Peck, seems to have discontinued periodically posting its charter. In the hope that knowledge of the charter will improve the newsgroup's ever declining signal-to-noise ratio, I post it he From: Geoff Peck...

Our EAA chapter had a 40' hangar door that split in the middle and folded sideways (each half). The ends were hinged and the center had a single roller that ran in a track above. The bottom was not attached in any way and just hung. It was held closed and open with large steel pins that dropped...

I'm fairly new to GA after a 19 year break flying jets. I routinely fly a single engine experimental with a constant speed prop mounted on a Lycoming IO-360. 2 QUESTIONS: 1. What's the proper setup to simulate the way the plane would glide in case of an engine failure? I'm looking for pitch...
