When do controls return to neutral? by
Mxsmanic
In a typical small GA aircraft, do the controls have a natural
tendency to return exactly to their neutral positions when you aren't
holding them and when you are on the ground? Do they have a tendency
to return to exactly neutral in flight if you release them in level
flight?
The reason I ask is...

more confusion on cessna performance chart by
terry
A little while ago I started a thread about why a Cessna landing
peformance chart showed a climb wt limit that was pressure altitude
rather than density altitude dependant. Well now I am similarly
confused by a different performance table ( not a chart this time)
which shows the take off distance...

Proping Question by
Doug Palmer
Several pilots found themselves in a debate at our field yesterday. The
issue is weather it is safer to move the propeller on a (parked) aircraft in
the direction of usual engine rotation, or opposite usual rotation. This is
assuming that the propeller needs to move for some reason.
The...

Wichita Airspace Question and overlapping airspace by
Owen[_4_]
So, Wichita, Kansas seems to be blessed with a lot of airports and the
sectional chart looks pretty busy. To the east of Wichita Mid Continent
(ICT), there is Col. Jabara (towerless), Beech Factory (private field
w/ tower), McConnell AFB, etc.

Security at a class D tower by
Dallas
I toured the new state of the art tower at Addison airport last week and
was struck by all the security measures they employed.
The entire complex and parking lot was surrounded by a dense wrought iron
fence with a nasty "fish hook" shaped sharp pointed curve at the top. An
intercom opened the...

Careless Linemen by
Kyle Boatright
How do the rest of you deal with careless linemen? The kind who scratch
your airplane or chip the paint because they are either careless or have not
been properly trained on how to avoid damaging aircraft when refueling 'em.
Case in point - this afternoon I stopped by the airport to prep for a...

Maintaining VFR altitudes when following N/S roads/rivers by
Mxsmanic
If you are following a road or river or other feature on the ground while
flying VFR, and that feature runs north/south but often veers off to one side
or the other, are you expected to change your altitude each time you move from
a heading of 0-179 to 180-359 or vice versa?

Difficult Strips by

It is all relative. A 5000 foot paved runway that is 150 feet wide can be
challenging to a 747 pilot.

Flying a private plane around the Caribbean in spring 2004 by

Hi everybody
We are two Danes and two Austrians who have thought of flying around
the Carribean for about a month in late winter/wpring 2004. Just from
looking at the map we figure it should be possible to do some loop
around the Caribbean Sea (Cuba - Haiti - Domenican Rep. - Puerto Rico

piper cargo twin crashes in eastern washington by
steve
Just heard about this on the morning news. Apparently pilot with 4 months
with the company had trouble maintaining altitude and attempted a landing at
the Easton, WA airstrip. It sounds like he came up short and crashed into
some trees, then cartwheeled and burst into flames.
This is tragic,...

Idea to prevent plane hijack by
neo
Separate cockpit and passengers by wall with no door, no window, just
plane wall. No mechanism of communication whatsover with cockpit from
passenger area. That will discourage hijacker because whatever he do,
pilot will not know.
When terrorists know that even flight staff can not talk to pilot,...

is favourable and you just want to go flying).
Was flying a rental 172. Took off like a rocket (lightly loaded solo...
