Just like the FAA and Southwest Airlines by
EMTAE[_3_]
Another in the long line of stories and articles about our
Federal Guvment corruption and waste and fraud. Reminds me
of the FAA and Southwest being little love birds and all cozy
People we need to slice and dice the Government out of
everything THEY ARE the problem. Washington DC is a...

LOUD by
Scott Lowrey
I reside about 6 miles off the departure end of MSP runway 12, so I'm
used to hearing a lot of jet traffic. I've only lived here for 6
months but I quickly adjusted to the noise. It's acutally not that
bad, excepting the venerable DC-9.
Today, though, what looked like an F-18 flew over. Wow. I...

filling Oxygen tanks by
Bruce McFadden
Santa's wife has decided that she would prefer that I fly with oxygen
even below 12.5K and especially at night. So I've been given a tank et
al. I was shocked today when I had it filled at Merucry Air. It is a
415 L size D tank. Because the pressure in their filling tanks were a
bit low, they...

9/11 Smoking Gun! Flight 93 Rare News Footage From The Crash Site by
Dudley Henriques
I usually will pass on posts like this one, but I'm left with this horrible
feeling that somehow, an absolute idiot who is stupid enough to actually
believe something like this might have somehow squeezed through the system
somewhere and be flying an airplane in the same sky and endangering people...

Spoilers, no spoilers? by
Amine
An Air Canada DC-8 crashed in 1970 because spoilers were deployed
before landing, which "by the book" is a definite no-no (cf. Air
Canada 621 disaster). How come the first officer (with over 5500 hrs
with that type of aircraft) made such a decision to deploy spoilers
while still in the air? What...

Rolls-Royce O-200? by
[email protected]
pardon my ignorance...
Is a rolls-royce O-200 the same as a continental O-200?
I mean specifically same overhaul times, same parts, same maintence,
etc?
I'm interested in a homebuilt with one but don't want to get into some
orphan engine.
Thanks,
Ryan in Madison

Do not answer Mxsmanic by
Greg Farris
He is not a pilot - yet argues with the most experienced of them.
He does not participate in any threads other than the ones he initiates,
which should serve as ample proof of his disingenuous nature.
He throws out threads to provoke regulars here, admitting he "knows
nothing" then argues and...

New season, new procedures by
Mark IV
“Warm up the engine at 1,000 to 1,200 rpm unless it’s necessary to
reduce rpm to keep from exceeding the oil pressure redline. As the oil
warms up, the rpm can be increased. Allow plenty of time for the
engine to warm up,” Steven W. Ells advised "
“The system, although simple, does have one major...

IFR checkride in IMC: PASSED! by
gatt
When the weather is bad and the examiner gives you the option of delaying
for better weather, don't say "Well, if I can't pass my checkride in IMC I'm
probably not qualified for the IFR rating."
First attempt at the checkride. Icing forecast at 6,000. Examiner said
"No problem. We probably...

Is Charley telling us anything about A/C tie-down? by
Icebound
Does anybody know of any wind-tunnel tests for analysis of tie-down
behaviour? I tried a google search without much success.
Having seen the Charley pictures from Orlando Executive and Punta Gorda, I'm
wondering if we are doing the right thing.
The standard for tricycle gear GA planes seems to...

Lightspeed Zulu pirep by
Kobra[_3_]
Flyers,
I would like to give a small PIREP of the new Lightspeed Zulu headset. I
bought one for the Bluetooth capability, but I was pleasantly surprised to
find it had much more to offer.
The comfort and fit was equal or surpassed my Bose X.
The ANR was about equal IMO to other headsets...

Winter Flying, all over again by
Jay Honeck
So this afternoon was perfect VFR, after the storms of yesterday.
Realizing that we wouldn't be able to fly for at least another week, due to
upcoming holiday commitments, it was obvious what needed to be done:
Fly -- right now!
Problem: Two inches of snow had fallen yesterday, on top of heavy...

OT - Ebay Bidding Tactics by
Jay Honeck
I have been trying to purchase a Narco CP-136 audio panel for almost
two years. Mine works just fine, but is cosmetically flawed, and I
need a new faceplate.
Unfortunately, Narco no long sells faceplates for this unit, so I am
stuck in the used market, which means Ebay.

Engine-out procedures and eccentric forces on engine pylons by
Mxsmanic
Long ago it occurred to me that a twin-engine jet running with one engine out
might be putting tremendous eccentric stress on the plyon and mounting of the
running engine (meaning stress not aligned with the normal thrust vector of
the engine). Today it occurred to me that this might not be true...

GPSMAP 195/196 vs. Lowrance AIPMAP 1000 by

Please excuse me for cross posting. There are two separate
discussions going on about the Lowrance Airmap 1000.
Mike,
I just bought an Airmap 1000. I placed a pirep over on rec.
aviation.piloting last night. I've never flown with a 195 or 196. It
sounds like they are very nice, but cost more...

Lightning anyone? by

Hi!
Has anyone experienced being struck by lightning in a small plane?
Can it be dangerous?
What happens? Loud bang?
I was flying VFR to and from the west coast here in Norway the other day,
and on the way back, I passed through some showers. I was within VFR limits
all the way, and suddenly I...
