I haven't flown in a while, but am in the market for a used plane. I recalling hearing somewhere that straight-in approaches are now approved at uncontrolled airports. Is this correct? Danny Deger

40 years ago today I was ferrying a F-89J from the Maine Air Guard at Bangor, ME to the Oregon Air Guard at Portland OR. Chugging along at 20K, keeping under the big jet stream blowing east, I was about 150 out of Oklahoma City, my next refueling stop, when ATC came up on frequency and announced...

Does anybody have a good way to get around on the ground to explore? Once I get to an airport, I have to walk because a bike doesn't fit in a 150 or 172! (Rollerskates are Okay but a little weird in a restaurant) I love flying to the islands of lake erie but I want some better ground travel. ...

This is the audio tape of a Fed Ex Caravan pilot who tangled with some severe icing conditions. http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/2007-1-26_N1278L-Mayday.mp3 (It's a good-sized .mp3 file, so be patient while it downloads...) This was given to me by our local FAA safety guy, to...

Hello, I put together a quick Excel spreadsheet that calculates total weight and total moment for a Cessna 172. However, to check the CG, I still have to take these calculated values and place them onto the diagram called "Center of Gravity Moment Envelope". Does anyone know if this lookup can be...

Anyone else have expereince with the C172E (1964)? No matter what I did I could not get that bird to spin to the right. Left spins take some work, and power helps (of course). But right it just wallows and then steep spirals.

How many US tax dollars were lost as a result of this mishap? The article at the bottom of this message suggests that the cost to US tax payers was ~$27.5 million per aircraft. Of course, that doesn't include the cost of accident investigation, damage repair,...

Ideal for flight schools. The amazing brushless electric ring motors which I mentioned before, produce 600 lbs. static thrust. http://www.flyingmag.com/news/two-place-electric-cessna-172-skyhawk -- Mark

Mary and I just returned from a wonderful weekend at the Cherokee Pilots Association national fly-in, held annually in Osage Beach, Missouri, at the Tan-Tar-A resort. We had a wonderful time, catching up with old friends, and making new ones. We bought some cool stuff from the vendors, gave away...

The April 2004 PLANE&PILOT has a review of the 1974 Piper Pathfinder. A table at the end of the article compares the 74 Pathfinder to the 74 Skylane. I don't think Jay is going to be flying over Pike's Peak (14,110 feet) unless he gets a Cessna. :-) Service Ceiling PA28-235 ... 13,550 Service...

I'm looking for the artwork to make Fudpucker World Airlines (Pulaski TN, Serving The World Since It Was Square) business cards. I've googled two sites, one on infininet from ~cuban8 and another one on an ohio net ~cuban8 and both of them seem dead. infinet gives me a "server not found" and...

Lots of posters here have fun bashing MX, but I have to say that one of the more enjoyable experiences I've had lately was sitting in the family room, in front of the PC. I am working on my instrument ticket. Ove the years I have collected the CH yoke and footpedals. I have downloaded a flight...

Some post-accident photos (no gore, thankfully) showing the RV and TBM Avenger were posted on a forum on Doug Reeves' RV website: http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=9638 Really gives some perspective on the visibility, or lack thereof, that both pilots must have experienced.

You've been cleared into Class B VFR, and you've been assigned a heading. After a while you see that your heading will take you through some clouds, and you asked to be cleared on a different heading, 40 degrees to the right. ATC says unable and gives a plausible reason why. What do you do?

Is airline passenger abuse on the rise as a result of passenger reaction to airline delays? http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2007/10/14/bc-taser.html?ref=rss Man dies after Taser shock by police at Vancouver airport Last Updated: Sunday, October 14, 2007 | 5:04 PM ET A man in...

Other than the 'holier than thou' aspects of taildraggers and their pilots, what are their real advantages? Has it to do with prop clearance on unimproved fields, or fatter mains being better in that same environment? Does anyone know if, with the same level of experience pilots, they have a better...
