I'm proud to announce about my new Cessna 172SP weight & balance iPhone app! Calculate weight & balance in 30sec !!! App store...

Something Dudley said in the Leaving Usenet thread got me thinking about flying a P51. I found www.stallion51.com as an option. Does anyone have any personal experience or know of any dual control Mustangs that offer a chance to fly them? Thanks, Michael

Of course it has to be the correct card type. Ron Lee

Has anyone here bothered to get the FCC radio license? I've been going down to Mexico for awhile and have never heard of anyone down there ever being asked for one (the officials in Mexico don't even know what it is). Has anyone ever heard of anyone being asked for it in Canada? I'm just wondering...

Today is October 19, and it's starting to look like 49 CFR Part 1552, which covers flight training for aliens and security procedures for flight schools, is going to become effective tomorrow, unchanged. For the full text, check...

Hi all, A recurring theme seems to be that one should should not rely in fuel gauges. I can understand that from a safety point of view (I always dip the tank before start), but I get the feeling that they are considered just plain inaccurate. Why is that, every car I've driven has a fuel gauge...

My original plan was to finish the instrument rating and then do some additional aerobatic training and a tailwheel endorsement before starting the commercial. But for some reason, as I approach the end of the instrument training, I've had an interest in doing the multi. I know that I wouldn't be...

This came to mind when I heard a RAF VC-10K overflying my house at some 1000 feet AGL at full steam. What a sound! The VC-10 both looks and sounds powerful. Also, the piston Yak-52 I heard a few days ago...unbelievable, such a powerful and awe inspiring sound. The only thing I regret is...

With the crossbreeding of amateur (ham) radio operators and pilots being something on the order of 25%, this is only slightly OT. There is a free online ham radio course being offered and sponsored by RST Engineering. It is intended to take anybody with an interest in getting a ham radio license...

My kid and I just washed the plane. Even after washing it, there are still chips of paint missing, a bit of rust, a drip-stain of fuel, and so on. The panel looks like it has been modified every once in a while since 1966. My plane is relatively nice compared to the other ones on the field, but...

Why is it everytime someone posts an accident, there are those who quickly make a decision or pronouncement that it was stupid, or the pilot was a moron, or, etc, etc, and never have a clue as to the real happenings? Why does it take well trained professional crash investigators to do a full...

Could someone please clarify what the legal FEDERAL minimum a pilot must blow to be charged with a crime? also, could someone please confirm that state or police have no jurisdiction over this offense if the accused does NOT live within the same state or city. Thanks

I have been reading the various threads about spins, forced landings, etc and talking with CFIs. The road to a PPL is preset in requirements by FAA. I see that most people are happy to do nothing more than that. Outside of the cost factors, I find this much more than curious considering...

If my understanding is correct, an aircraft stalls beyond that AOA which, when increased any further, produces no (further) lift. If correct, would it be logical to infer that an aircraft's stalling AOA: a. is dependent on its airspeed, and is independent of its weight and weight distribution,...

Air Carriers and Biz-jets Target GA Recreational Fliers The airline industry is terrified. They've got more aircraft than they know what to do with, and even more on order. Passengers are unhappy with the airline travel experience, and their numbers threaten to dwindle as a result. High revenue...

Twice in 2 days I've filed VFR flight plans only to have FSS unable to find them when I called on radio after takeoff. One was filed through Duats at 9PM for noon next day (and left at noon). The other was filed with a briefer at Terre Haute at 10PM for 8AM next day (and left on time). In both...

The other day I shot the VOR approach into SMO for the first time in low actual. I've often looked at that approach as one of the most difficult I've seen published so it was interesting to actually try it. The weather was 008OVC with something like 3sm HZ. I touched down about 3/4 down the runway...
