I've described the problems we've had with my wife's cherished Bose X headset since having it...

Just getting with a few in the group and was wondering where everyone was from? Im down here in San Diego learning out of Montgomery..

I've just bought a TomTom GPS for my car with preloaded road maps of the US and Canada. My question: Will it work in my 172 at 3,000 to 5,000 feet, showing the roads below, etc?

All: I heard a lot of air activity over my Washington, DC home today, and was told later by a friend that an 84-year-old pilot had a total electrical failure on the way from Stafford, VA (KRMN), where maintenance was being performed on his plane. According to my friend, the pilot landed at Indian...

Hello all, I have heard rumors in the past that Tinker Air Force Base (OKC) had a flying club. I have looked in the base newspaper, and the tinker homepage with no luck. I have also DAGS. Anyone know if one is still in exsistence, or even fly with them. I heard they may be based out...

I'm taking flight lessons and was hoping to get my private pilot certificate not too far down the line. Today I went in for my medical and was told by the examiner I have a couple problems. Although I've been asymptomatic for some time I'm on a medication that is not allowed by the FAA. When I...

Hi, Our C172 O-320 is well over TBO and needs new cylinders. We are thinking we might just bite the bullet and get a new engine at this stage. The Penn Yan Aero SuperHawk STC looks like a good option since it would give us 180 HP - a nice extra safety margin for our short strip. Has anyone here...

I count around six posts in a row about aviation, with almost all of the responses actually related to the topic. Common factor- no Anthony Atkielski. When asked a logical question, Bertie gives reasonable and factual answers based upon knowledge and experience. This was never the case with MX,...

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...

I have a couple of questions regarding the 2000C: 1. What are the mounting options? I have never liked yoke mounts. 2. Will it work with a non-Lowrance amplified external antenna (I have a permanent unit on top of the fuselage that has worked flawlessly with my Garmin). Thanks in advance for any...

Air Force Tests Robot Pilot By Russ Niles - August 18, 20193 VIDEO: https://youtu.be/dQxacTMu7XU The Air Force has flown a Cessna 206 with a robotic pilot it says can essentially turn an aircraft into a drone and then get turned back into a manned aircraft. The ROBOpilot flew a two hour...

I'll probably need an airport tour to answer this to my satisfaction, but I thought it merited a discussion here anyway. It seems pretty standard that, after an airplane is refueled, you wait 10-15 minutes and resample the fuel to check for contaminants (water). I recently witnessed a situation...

Several unheard of things occurred Wednesday. We had: - 2 days off from the hotel - both kids off school - widespread VFR weather forecast to last 2 days -- in December When strange things like this happen, you don't question them, and you don't ever pass them by. No sir, you seize upon them...

The 2006 Oshkosh Bound posters, the Ripon-Fisk-Oshkosh graphic procedures, and a couple of "wallpaper" graphics of the Oshkosh sectional are posted with a click from: www.rstengineering.com Have a cold one for me, fellers...

Unfortunately accidents do happen, but it was the first time I had somewhat to do with it. The airplane I usually fly with, a Piper Arrow from the local flight school and FBO, crashed on landing during a cross-country flight to Florence (Italy). The plane suddenly banked to the left 10 feet over...

Looking to buy a protable/backup transceiver. Any recommendations?

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...

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...

As many of you know, this was our 24th consecutive Airventure -- and our 8th flying in. I've seen the RIPON/FISK arrival from all angles, both from the ground and in the air, and have seen pretty much everything that could be thrown at us. Although it's always tense, due to the proximity of...
