Hi group, About three years ago I had the second most beautiful monent in my life, buying my first airplane. Last weekend it was time for the most beautiful moment in my life, I've sold the same plane for good money. I never bought it to keep it for very long, just to learn to fly after I got my...

I work for an aviation insurance company and I've seen a lot of crash images. There is usually no debris, espcially from a jet full of fuel. It literally incinerates everything. Especially a commercial airliner. The plane went down and a lot of people died. No matter what the conspiracy theorists...

Last night I went out to CRQ to do my 90 day 3 night takeoffs and landings ritual. After the first trip around the pattern I was told that they were not allowing any pattern work. When I called the tower on the phone I got the following explanation: The FAA agreed upon minimum staffing level for...

I'm in need of an aircraft ferrying service between Wyoming and Arizona. Anyone out there ever use a professional ferrying service? If so, what was your experience? Advice/Recommendations appreciated.

A few questions on ATC: 1. If I am told to "depart XYZ heading 150" while IFR, and the last heading given to me by ATC does not quite take me to an intercept of the XYZ VOR, should I turn to intercept the VOR? Should I wait for ATC to tell me to turn directly towards the VOR? Should I turn...

Hi Dudley! If your interested, I completed that project I was working on and you can find the link over in the other NG. -- Oz Lander I'm not always right, But I'm never wrong.

FAR 61.51 (d) d) Logging of solo flight time. Except for a student pilot performing the duties of pilot in command of an airship requiring more than one pilot flight crewmember, a pilot may log as solo flight time only that flight time when the pilot is the sole occupant of the aircraft. On Sun,...

Is it possible to use cities as waypoints in flight plan and how? The only way I can make a city as a waypoint is by using panning function on the map - point to the city and then press "direct to" key. Or it is some kind of safety feature - not to alloud to use cities as waypoints?

In connection with leaning discussions, someone points out that the POH for my plane was probably written for a different fuel. -- Roger Long

As a physician I was curious if Fossett and his team had any concerns about "the economy class syndrome", ie-deep venous thrombosis...? I suppose they could have given him a shot of Lovenox or some other low molecular weight heparin. Or not. Ryan Wubben Madison, WI

I am a private pilot with 450hrs. Currently I own a grumman tiger and have been looking to move into something newer. I have been looking at the diamond c1 eclipse (2001-2002). Today I spoke to an A&P who informed me of a strange phenomenon. One of the katana c1's at the flight school had shed 2...

Or at least more correct info. I'm a relatively healty enough 31 year old MALE, who's in the process of interviewing CFIs before I start primary flight training. In the process of getting all my ducks in a row, I decide to get a 3rd class student medical out of the way before I spend too much...

My job was recently was impacted by corporate downsizing. Often when traveling for interviews, companies will pay you for the mileage you drive to the interview. With a PPL, is it okay to accept the "driving mileage compensation", if you flew to the interview instead of driving ? David Martin

I did a trip to Florida last August and used a site to flight plan. It had a component where you could plan using fuel price as a parameter. I can't find the site . . . anyone know it? www.Rosspilot.com

If you had bought $1000 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the original $1000. With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Miller Lite (the beer, not the stock) one year ago, drank all the...
