Jeppesens web site really is not user friendly when looking for Just 1 Low Enroute Chart anyone know of a place in the states that has a great selection "World Wide" and that will sell and ship just 1 or 2 charts at a time? Thanks!

CNN noon newscast showed video footage of a Cirrus with parachute deployed floating in the retention pond of an apartment complex in Indiannapolis. Four people onboard, all survived.

can you cook? can you pilot an aircraft? are you into computers? you're the (wo)man! hmm, this one is only for (US-) citizens, methinks. This time the foreigners come better off. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/10/9/12032/9687 ---snip The proposed changes discussed in this meeting include:

Hello. Just reviewing the new 'Sport Pilot' regs for their implications to me as a CFI. Looks like in 61.315(c), the FAA has kept the unfortunate limitation on being PIC of an aircraft 'in furtherance of a business' that they had on Recreational Pilots. Does anyone know of any 'official' FAA...

I'm thinking of a clean glider, one that might weigh 1500 pounds and has a glide angle of say 1 in 25. At 50 miles an hour, that would mean in an hour's time it might descend two miles (of course scale it reasonable numbers, I chose those for ease of calculation). That means it's losing about 1500...

Hello all! I was recently in a local used book store, and on their aviation shelf, there was a bound copy (if staples count as binding) of FAA publication AAC-45C, containing VFR and IFR "Exam-O-Grams". Using the search at the FAA, plus a little Googling of both the Web and Usenet, seems to show...

Hi, Club aircraft has a GARMIN GNC 300XL TSO which according to the spec, has a PC interface. Is there any software out there that I can run from a PC to enter routes, waypoints etc directly into the device? Having a PC interface is one thing, being able to use it without resorting to the SDK...

Venice, California Another facial scar for Harrison, and a blow to a vintage PT-22. Ford makes the 6 PM news (as every pilot fears). Even at 72, I would expect him to heal reasonably quickly and hopefully, fully. Nice job putting it between the trees. The hearts of the aviation community go...

I've been going over the POH, remembering the various procedures and settings. But something I've taken for granted in the 172s I've been flying up until now is missing: power settings for the pattern. You know: 1800 RPM and 10 on the flaps for midfield downwind, 1500 and 85 kts and descending...

Does anyone know if Wesley Clark was ever a pilot? What do people here think of the General? In case you missed it he's running for President. R. Hubbell

If a plane had a tail that was YV-3???. What country is it registered in? Is there a site that shows which country gets what leading tail characters, N=US, F=France, C=Canada...etc. Wil

Remote-Controlled Helicopter Toys Recalled by Innovage Due to Fire and Burn Hazards In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Innovage LLC, of Foothill Ranch, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 685,000 "Sky Scrambler" and "The Sharper Image" Wireless...

On Christmas Eve, I got to go flying. I took a friend of ours on a 200 nm cross country to drop her off with her family for the holidays. On the good side, the visibility was as good as I've ever seen in the Southeast. Probably 150 miles or more. I could see the Smokey Mtns waay north. Also,...

Reading about Jay's son Joe soloing over the house and eventually asking for the Pathfinder for a date reminded me of a funny story. My oldest brother had recently gotten his private cert. in the 70s and, in my dad's absense, convinced my mom that "dad said I could take my girlfriend on a plane...

So... I am attempting to join a small club (20 people) that share two Archers. They had two open slots so on Wednesday I was scheduled to take a checkride with the clubs CFI, I thought as my BFR is due in 2 months that we could combine both the BFR and the club checkout into one flight So ......

I tried to go to the museum at the Dulles airport today. Boy, they do a good job of hidding that little gem. D.C. easily has the worst roads for visitors in any city in any country I've ever visited. It is very hard to find things... 1) Many roads have formal names as well as common names. The map...

FOUR KILLED IN MINNESOTA SR22 CRASH (http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/1006-full.html#196677) A Cirrus SR22 was on its second try to land at the Faribault airport in southern Minnesota on Sunday afternoon when it flipped over and burst into flames by the side of the...

I'm a student pilot and have heard mixed reviews of Flight Sim software. Some say it's great for a little on the ground practice. Others say it's really a waste of time. I don't expect it to really take the place of air time, but I'm wondering if anyone out there can tell me if it's really...
