Sunday out on a test flight with my son after installing new oil hoses, etc... We are out over Lake Huron and looking inland at the color changes in the trees and about 15 miles away we see what looks like a major fire with black and white smoke (old tires?)... So we change course to go see... We...

The original poster got it right with his use of the phrase "Runway ID", because it is, in fact, an ID based on a number, as opposed to some type of number. What is the magnetic heading of Runway 5? If someone is named "Fred", do you refer to them as "Zero Fred"? The point is, we are dealing...

"The plane, a $7 million Cessna Citation 7, was found at the Gwinnett County Airport-Briscoe Field on Monday and remained there this morning, said Darren Moloney, spokesman for the Gwinnett County Police Department. The plane is owned by Pinnacle Air of Springdale, Ark., which had no comment on the...

So we're climbing out of Prairie du Chein, WI (KPDC) on a beautiful early fall afternoon. We've just been to the local riverboat's all-you-can-eat buffet, and Mary is flying as PIC with my 27-year old nephew in the right seat. I'm in the back seat with my brother-in-law, and we've just reclined...

Hi, All I can find is the base reflex stuff which isn't that useful/pretty. Thanks, Hilton

There was a discussion in my club about leaning the engine (of our cherokees) below 5000 feet in cruise. This was prompted by the observation in the manual that the engine should be leaned above 5000 feet at all times in cruise, and below 5000 feet at the pilot's discrescion. So, how should the...

Hello All, Perhaps someone hereabouts can settle a discussion I had with a fellow passenger on an airliner the other day: Suppose there's a 747 parked at a gate and they need to taxi it over to a maintenance area. Does it require a licensed pilot to taxi a plane that large (or any plane, for that...

Probably a case of "too little -- too late" -- but finally a step in the right direction! (This just in, from Yahoo News): ******************************************************** House narrowly approves bill to help US refineries By Chris Baltimore In a cliffhanger vote held open by Republican...

Just an update, Gig informed me in another thread that this place had recieved a Zenith 601 for flight training. And that is true! They are doing flight training at Bryce Mountain Resort, the inn is 125 a night. 10 hours with instructor is $1200 smackers and a 5 hour block will only run you $650....

In the next few weeks we'll be opening our 16th aviation theme suite (the "Apollo Suite" -- all 1960s NASA moon flight stuff -- with many thanks to this group's own Jim Weir) -- and the next one will be our "Oshkosh Suite" -- one that will be near and dear to EAA member's hearts, I'm sure! We're...

Reading Avwebs latest addition (avweb.com) I'm reading all about how Cessna is developing (very hush hush) their "cirrus killer", new high performance 4 place single. They are being very hush hush about the whole thing, except for one point; the new design will be a high wing.... Without debating...

In examining the Lightspeed lineup, it seems to be a classic case of "for only $30 more you get this"; pretty soon you're up to some serious money. So, which of their ANR units provides the most bang for the buck? Which models would you recommend for flights of less than two hours behind...

Strange thing happened to me earlier this week (monday). I flew from home base at KUGN to KDBQ with a friend for a quick stop and then we were planning to fly up the Mississippi to look for some fall colors. Had a nice clear day with light winds. So we land at DBQ, I taxi over to the FBO for a...

As you are probably aware, the FAA has issued a Notice of Proposed Rules Making seeking to make the temporary ADIZ around Washington, DC permanent. This action is so dangerous that AOPA has sent out a rare National Pilot Alert to all members, asking us to submit comments before the Nov 2 deadline,...

He was a very experienced and gentle pilot and I greatly enjoyed it. Pilots are GODS in bed, I must admit that!

Anyone know where I can find a list of US airports and their lat/lon positions? I know about the airnav site, but that only lets me get one at a time. I need a list that I can feed into a database. (I only need US airports with instrument approach procedures.) Thanks, rg

www.privatepilotmag.com The website indicates that the November 2005 issue is the last. Anyone know the details? Were they bought by Plane & Pilot (website redirects you to theirs)? If so, I hope the quality of P&Ps articles improve from the current glorified survey articles. I thought Private...
