http://pcneedtogo.blogspot.com/2008/10/flashing-laser-pointer-at-aircraft-is.html This is my public service announcement to the idiots who have decided to shine green laser pointers into the cockpits of airplanes either taking off, landing or ascending to cruising altitude. Stop doing it! You...

I'm not sure if you guys here are up on this here. But I've read here quite a bit and witnessed some valuable knowledge, and some real idiots. I'll try to sort through responses. I am a private pilot ASEL and typically fly rented Cessnas and Pipers. Airplane and fuel costs have gotten me to...

The FO does most of the communications; they don't trust my perfect English. In South Fl if you speak good English you can't communicate properly. I have had a lot of fun with my language in Miami. Most people (latins) assume I don't speak or understand Spanish, and it is quite funny when they...

Does anyone have any insight into why the A320 isn't able to dump fuel. What factors would go into such a design compromise? -Robert

After the debacle at the 2008 AirVenture, this may be an interesting look at the history of these devices. * BOOKS * OCTOBER 27, 2008 Great Idea, Limited Uplift Years ago, Buck Rogers fans yearned to make the jetpack fantasy real. Today, a few obsessed engineers keep trying. By STEVE KEMPER

2 Cessna's(a 210 and a 180) collided over CO the other day.Yet all 6 people on both planes survived uninjured.The 210 landed without it's nosewheel and the 180 landed upside down and w/o it's tail assembly(most likely snapped off by the 210).Absolutely amazing.

I am considering KLN-90B as replacement for my M-3 Approach. Question for experienced KLN-90B users: Legality aside, can you operate KLN-90B in approach mode (doing GPS approaches) with an outdated database? Thanks in advance, Robin Hou

so i just passed the commercial written, and i hear that the CFI written is half of the commercial written information, with the other half being new material. Any reality to that? I also have watched a few videos of fellow group members flying, and wondering how many of you are running lean of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4Ccc0lWMis First crack at this. Comments most welcomed here or on the video to improving these type of videos. Still want to work on the sound levels to simulate the actual sound levels. Engine level a touch lower then in the actual plane. Minor balancing act :-)

I have choosen to "unsubscribe" to this group. The trash posts are 90%, which exceeds alt.morons. I'm sorry to my loyal readers but I'll still post in better groups. Ken

Does anyone know if there is an FTP or HTTP web resource where I can download text-based, computer-parsable TFR descriptions on a regular basis? (I've surfed the FAA and AOPA web sites but can only find graphical versions.) Thanks ted in az usa asg-29 n8829a

Alert Canada is up to a toasty -25C now... you are so right, the arctic is unseasonably warm for October!

Yesterday's VFR round robin trip to KRNV Cleveland MS, KJAN Jackson MS and KMBO full stops at each airport. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ibUcF5MUrk Severe clear and rock solid glass smooth air. So smooth, one would have thought the DG video'd during the climb was broke.:-) Quite fascinating...

Cirrus has added a new auto level button on their latest planes. Will a button on the stick that you push to automatically reset the plane to straight and level make any difference on Cirrus accidents or is it just a gimmick? What say you?

Let me make apologies early...this is just some footage from a quick flight my wife and I took to Bennington, VT last week. It's not refined and was shot impromto with little to no forethought. For what it's worth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kfglGM8BaI Gene
