I've been paying attention to intersections a lot lately since I'm looking at the IFR charts more. Check this example out; Dial up the MSLIN intersection on your New York section or skyvector.com. Looking at that; I've always interpreted that picture as the MSLIN intersection is at the...

I just want to clear some confusion reg. private pilot services. I know that PP cannot charge for any services for compensation or hire other than sharing the fuel cost.

HI all! Did anyone out there in airplane land enjoy last night's documentary of AA11 (first to crash flight in NYC) as much as I did? I'm sure there will be repeats in the near future for those whom missed it. I just wanted to ask those of you serious airline pilots, whom did view the show,...

Hi, I happen to be in Los Angeles, CA, on business, and I was wondering if someone could tell me if there is a pilot shop and/or aricraft parts shop where I could walk and buy stuff. In particular I am looking for tyres for Piper Cherokee. But then while browsing I could find something else to...
