Pre-"trip" inspection items? by
Ben Jackson
What do you look for beyond a normal preflight when you're about to
go on a long trip? For example, if you were flying from the west
coast to Oshkosh you wouldn't want to be within 10 hours of an oil
change or a 50/100-hour inspection.

Pre-buy Inspection by
Jon Kraus
My new partner and I are looking at a 1975 Mooney M20C. It is a nicely
upgraded IFR plane with a 400 hour O-360 engine. It is a rather high
time airplane (7000) hours and the price reflects this fact. It is being
sold by the owner of the FBO we fly out of for one of his friends. They
just finished...

I will be starting IFR training soon and would like to minimize the pain /

had done in preparation for training? (specific books to read, home
flight simulator)

Pre-OSH Party Wx by
john smith
It appears as I would have to cross the warm front to get from Ohio to
Iowa Saturday, so I don't think the party is going to happen for me.
On the positive side, the weather will move off to the east of Wisconsin
by Sunday morning and the party participants will have excellent
tailwinds to the big...

Preflighting has changed for ever! by
Robert M. Gary
Check out http://www.keyhole.com They have a tool for $40/year that
allows you to "fly" to your destination before you fly! This isn't
like some flight simulator, these are actual satellite pictures. You
can even see your house and tell if your neighbor has a pool or not.
The pictures are 3d so you...

Prelim NTSB report on the Piper Navajo crash landing by
gregg
Below is the preliminary NTSB report. What I find interesting is that
there's no mention of the tower informing the Navajo pilot he has a
problem. I was doing a T&G right behind the Navajo as he climbed out - I
saw smoke from the RIGHT engine and that's what the tower told him as well.
Question:...

Present from Bose! by
Doug Vetter
Hi all,
Back in August I placed an order for the retrofit battery box assembly
for my 2001 vintage Bose X. Problem is, the units haven't shipped yet,
apparently due to "manufacturing difficulties". Whatever. The latest
news is that they *may* ship in March (about 8 months late).
While I wasn't...
