Safe and happy soaring fly and drive safe. Mal

You’ve probably seen the sign in a repair shop that reads something like: “Fast Job, Cheap Job, or a Good Job; - choose any two”. I am happy to share with you that there is one shop where all three are available, Mike Robinson’s at Tom Knauff's Ridge Soaring in PA. The Freedom’s Wings Canada Grob...

Our very own FAA Designated Examiner has departed for warmer climes, and we are now left with a very real problem of getting checkrides for our upcoming new pilots. We have explored (and continue to explore) the 'Sport Pilot' option, but we are also looking around for other DE's in the area. ...

Hi, got some news .. I think many software manufacturers will adopt these kind of keyboards. They come really cheap on Amazon and Ebay , I paid mine 7,99 !!! They have more than 20 hours autonomy with their own battery, and they pair perfectly with all devices. I have just made a video of how I...

The FAA posts the relevant rules and overview http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/ifim/airspace/ but there must be some good stories. It would have been easy (from a lift and wind perspective) for a XC pilot to cross over and back today in Vermont. It must be tempting.

Support your gliderport It is mid-summer and the full effects of the economic slowdown are affecting all small businesses. Many gliderports have been greatly affected, which includes flight instructors, tow pilots, and line personnel. Glider pilots can do a lot to help. When gliderports...

Nasty incident on a small charter today. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090416/national/plane_jumper

I am interested in the garmin iqM5 as it has a GPS receiver built in. Is anyone out there using one of these in their glider? If so, how is the screen on it? okay on daylight? I guess it would be compatible with "see you" software to make a portable solution. Willie

Just watched the PBS Nova program "Mystery of the Megaflood". Fascinating program, and the landscape left behind in Eastern Washington state is beautiful and somewhat bizarre. Is it easy or safe to fly cross country over the "scabland" features? Are these sights reachable from Ephrata? See the...

I would like to add more contest/xc photos to the SRA site (actually plan to do a face-lift) ... and would appreciate receiving photos you would like to contribute ... from last season ... and this season as it progresses. I have a high speed link so you can send large formats. Just send anything...

The Kiwis seem to have worked out how to capture the race using helicopters to gapture the gaggles on film and GIS systems to predict thermals etc. In this day and age of advanced met and digital technology... Will it ever make it to the podiums? Tried this post on UK RAS and got zero replies....

No fly. Rain.......almost all day.......started during pilots meeting. Someone yelled, its raining...and almost everyone ran outside to their cars and gliders. See, the blipmaps showed one thing, good soaring, but the real story was a cut off low spining and just sending us another day of...
