I am after a simple W&B calculator for a PDA, with a few E6B calculations (density altitude, say) but nothing else. Try CoPilot, for the palm. It does more than just w&b, but you don't have to use it. IT is outstandingly excellent though. Jose -- "Never trust anything that can think for...

I used to get my FAA ATA-100 data on a CD from the FAA. But then I moved and they seemed unable to process a change of address. So then I started getting it from Kyler Laird's aviationtoolbox.org. But he hasn't updated to the latest data yet, and it's supposed to be updated today. He's usually...

Why even bother to have windows in a commercial jet? A Boeing press release makes note of the larger than usual windowns for their new 7E7 jet. Late model jets are full of video screens at each seat. Why not use snythetic views of the outside? The view from a window is limited. With video, all...

Hi, I'm a new private pilot and new to this group. I have a question regarding FF. I plan to fly a direct route which will transit class c airspace. If I call "center" and request FF, will they coordinate my flight through class c, or will they hand me off to class c controllers until I'm clear of...

My engine analyzed is telling me that the spark plug on the #6 cylinder, left mag is fouled. I have a new plug, but can't tell which cylinder #6 is and whether it's the plug on the top or the bottom.... Can anyone tell me which plug it is...? Thanks much, Anthony

Of the current crop, I'd say the Beech 1900D. Nose wheel RIGHT at the nose, the cockpit looks like it's from another plane, as does the passenger door, all those appendages around the tail... Andy

....from my instrument instructor. This happened when they were filming The Hunted along the Willamette River in Portland (been through the set, haven't seen the movie.) At a nearby airfield--Scapoose, I believe--a guy with a fabric-and-wood plane was receiving fuel and the attendant asked him...

I have seen that indication when the antenna did not have a clear view of the sky. The installed aircraft was an EADS/Socata TB-9 with gull wing doors. Coming out of the pad, the pilot's door when up (as it was in the summer) would obscure much of the sky and not allow the GPS to get a...
