There's an interesting article over on MSNBC.com about hydrogen fuel cells being used in aircraft. The future of general aviation, perhaps? http://www.msnbc.com/news/937600.asp?0cv=CB10

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,...

Jeppeson sure has a nice little monopoly going. $760.00 to get the updates for my mx 20 and Apollo 60 GPS. Dang.

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...

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...

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...

Hi everyone, I have a question for people who fly in CT, and NY often. Today I was flying from Danbury (DXR) to Brookhaven (HWV). I flew out without incident. Coming home I flew from Brookhaven direct to Calverton then to Bridgeport then direct Danbury using a combination of my sectional chart and...

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...

Hi everyone, Hilton Software has spent over a year developing WingX. Earlier this week, we announced general availability of the product. "WingX is a Microsoft Pocket PC application designed by pilots for pilots. WingX was designed from the ground up using the latest .NET technology...

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...

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...

In about two weeks (and for ten days thereafter) the largest collection of aircraft in the world will be converging on Oshkosh WI from all corners of the USA and several countries. The show actually starts on the 29th of July and ends on the 4th of August, but the heaviest traffic is going to be...

What is the diameter of the helium balloon needed to life 200 pounds total load? Thanks.

I always figured that the test on the new Sport Pilot rules would be how the new category would be treated by insurance companies. After all, if I can't get insurance, I can't rent the Cub! Here's the answer, which also indirectly addresses the question of how much safety we're giving up by...
