O.T. Actual airline pilot conversations by
Craig Lewis
Here are some conversations that airline passengers normally
will never hear. The following are accounts of actual exchanges
between airline pilots and control towers around the world.
Tower: "Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o'clock, 6 miles!"
Delta 351: "Give us another hint! We ... have...

Airport Support Groups - Group Email? by
Jay Honeck
A year ago I started an airport support group called "Friends of Iowa
City Airport" to help save our threatened airport. It has now grown
to over 170 members, and sending memos, updates and emails to such a
large group has become unwieldy.
For a variety of reasons I would like to stick with a...

Call signs by
buttman
When I used to fly Cessna 152's and 172's, I'd always just say "Cessna
12345...". Now that I fly Piper Warriors, I began using "Piper
12345...", but then I realized no one else says just "Piper", they say
"Seneca 12345", or "Twin Comanche 12345...", so I began using the
callsign "Warrior 12345..."...

Electriflying by
Gatt
A few years ago when people were discussing the possibility of
electric-powered flight, you'd get hacked on pretty hard for
suggesting such a thing would be practical or possible in our
lifetime. Obviously if you knew anything about physics or electrical
engineering, why, you'd know it was totally...

Piper Colt child seat STC by
R. Wubben
I have been toying around with the idea of buying a Colt or a
Tri-Pacer (having just foolishly sold my Ercoupe) and ran across an ad
for a Colt with a child seat STC.
I did a google search, a deja/google group search (on rec.aviation)
and looked at the Short wing Piper web site and found nothing...

Get-Home-Itis, Arrogance, or What? by
Ron Snipes
This accident was posted on the newsgroups right after it happened. Now
published on the NTSB website, which gives us more info than the 6pm news.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family left behind, but with that
said.....How can you throw everything you learned in Flight Training about...

what headset to buy by
[email protected]
Hi folks - I'm new to the group - I have my ppl checkride in a couple
of weeks, and when I have it done I'll probably do mostly short
sightseeing and medium cross-country flights.
I'd love some advice on what headset to buy. Everybody always says
"it's a personal thing" but that obviously doesn't...

Knowing when you are overflying something by
Mxsmanic
How do you know when you are exactly overflying a specific spot on the ground?
It's it just a matter of knowing your particular aircraft, or are there tricks
that can help to determine this? I know you can look off the tip of your wing
to see if you're abeam something (such as a runway), but how...

C182 Glass Panel by
Scott Schluer
I've got a question about the glass panel displays in the C182 (or any other
aircraft for that matter). I was reading this month's edition of AOPA Pilot
magazine and the cover story is the C182T and the new glass panel displays
Cessna decided to incorporate and it got me thinking. My question is:...

Class B airspace notation by
BillJ
I thought I understood everything that could be on a sectional, but
before a trip to New York City airspace, I studied the sectional and
terminal area charts a little extra carefully. Just southwest of Newark
(EWR) (and also other places) there is a notation such as 70/+12 in blue
for the floor...

The ethanol scam by
Jay Honeck
As gas -- and corn -- prices creep ever higher, everyone in my great
State of Iowa is all ablush with talk of riches pouring in, thanks to
ethanol production. They can barely contain their glee at this
remarkable turn of economic fortune. (Remember, just a few years ago
farmers here had one foot...

(OT) MS Simmers by
Dan544
I do not understand why so many of you real time pilots take such a negative
look at simmers.
I have always loved aviation. For me, because of physical limitations and
age, I will never be able to fly a real airplane alone.
I understand that it will never compare to rt experiences, and I also...

Can the airport ban bicycles? by
Jay Honeck
Our new hangar lease includes a specific ban on bicycles, of all
things. (And cars, and anything else in the hangars not directly
related to aviation.)
Is this legal?

Officials have decided that the Hillsboro Air Show will NOT be cancelled due

I am of course glad to hear this. The airshow has been going on for well

T-hangar's bi-fold door: Convert to a motorized opening door? by
Peter R.
Here's a silly question: Is there any way to convert a t-hangar's
manually opening bi-fold door to a motorized one?
I just rented a t-hangar that uses a circular chain hanging off a large
pulley near the top of the hangar to control the door. The chain must
be pulled thirty to forty times to...
