I'm planning a trip for mid-May from WHite Plains, NY (KHPN) to Santa Fe, NM (KSF). I'm wondering if anyone here has made a similar flight and has any advice for me. I will be single-pilot IFR, will be flying a Beech Debonair and am planning to file for a TAS of 165kts at 10,000'. I've broken the...

I took my student pilot cert 3 years ago. Last month I renewed it. The doctor sends the form into the FAA, right? How long does it take to show up in the FAA (online) databases? I'm not really concerned when the FAA paper work catches up as I do have the paper certificate in hand. I'm just...

Hello, I have a complaint and feel that I was taken advantage of by the court system in Lakeway TX. It concerns my landing a small plane at Lakeway Airport in July, of 2004. I knew that the Airport is closed after sunset and before sunrise but I was issued a ticket by a police officer that...

Is anyone here familiar with carrier-based aircraft operations? My first question is, on naval aircraft, what are the three colored lights for on the front? Usually mounted on the front landing gear, three different colors. Also, last time I was out in San Diego to visit my brother, we visited...

This applies to rec.aviation.piloting because this is where I seem to be picking up a "cookie" from time to time. My, albeit limited, knowledge is that cookies come from websites, not newsgroups.

I'm not sure I can handle CAVU with temperatures in the high 70s to low 80s for the rest of the week, but I'll buck up as best I can {;-) Jim

I saw this on the 6pm news last night and it seem mighty strange but a jetranger helicopter crashed just after takeoff east of CYXX (Abbotsford) with 1 fatality, a 22 year old female passanger!. The pilot escaped the aircraft shortly after the crash and then fled the scene leaving his passanger...

MAKING MONEY I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right,...

As March in Oregon goes, anyway. The fog lifted around 10am, not much wind, clear below 12,000 except for some low-level inversion haze that's been sitting over us for what seems like all winter. I had a "not feeling well, going home" moment at work that turned out to be nothing that 2.5 hours on...

Jim, Like a lot of small airports, we have quite a few people who park in the parking lot, frequently on their lunch hours, to watch the airplanes land and take off. It would be a nice PR opportunity if they could listen to the CTAF while they're there. I've been thinking about a simple repeater...

As many may know, we set records here in Iowa yesterday, hitting 73 degrees in Iowa City. It felt great! The winds in the afternoon started to kick up pretty good, as a cold front approached from the northwest. On our way back from brunch in Lone Rock, WI (where we ran into this group's own Jim...
