Can you point me to a tutorial on "3D Solid State gyroscope". GeorgeC

“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...

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...

ever seen an ultralight seaplane? http://www.saf.net/seadays/ (PICT9733.jpg) thought you might like it. regards, Friedrich

I'm a full member of the British Aerobatic Assocation and was just wondering whether there were any other aerobats out there? Daniel

I am in the market for a 135 operation. I am finding out that going through the FAA would take about a year and I don't have the time to wait that long. If anybody has one for sale or knows someone that is thinking about selling it, let me know. Thanks Aaron

Please, everyone, if you don't know the history of this group, let me tell you... Don't ever respond to MX. He was the primary reason this formerly vital and active group (around 200 posts per day) has been all but abandoned. He is death to any group he touches. -- Jim in NC

Okay, the Cub I rent has no radio, hence no radio license. I am vaguely aware, each time I use the handheld, that I am operating without a station license. Is this a problem? Should I apply to the FCC for a license, and if so, what sort of license do I want? all the best -- Dan Ford email:...

Okay, here's an odd situation. 30-something pilot, been flying a few years, have had a couple of class III medical examinations; no problems. On a recent visit home, pilot's family remind him that as infant he had a heart murmur. There were checkups for a few years, but no restrictions, meds,...

See http://tinyurl.com/j3hy3 This "special software" bears an uncanny resemblance to the Microsoft Flight Simulator that I played with last night. In fact, I tried the very same thing on my PC last night that CNN is now using in its highly scientific demonstration today. I didn't mention my...

I was thinking about jointing/volunteering for Angel Flight of Oklahoma as a pilot. Would a low time VFR pilot be of any use to them? I have 190 hr soon to be 200hr, when we get some good flying weather. I have flown only 3 times since November. Because VFR flying is unreliable, I wonder if I...

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...

My son is 15. He'll be turning 16 in August, and starting his Junior year of high school. He's been flying since he can remember, and has many hours in the right seat. (He's got over 1500 hours as a passenger with Mary and me.) His first dozen or so hours behind the yoke were "IFR" -- because he...

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...

A continuation rate of 0.26%--not very encouraging. An interesting article: http://www.flyingmag.com/blogs/flying-lessons/why-dont-more-young-eagles-become-pilots

On an aircraft with separate "battery" and "alternator" switches, should you turn on BAT and leave ALT off during engine start, or should you turn them both on prior to start? A little bit of the "why" on this would be nice also...
