I have always read and been taught that a turn coordinator is usually powered by electricity. Is the turn coordinator, in itself, an electric motor? Or does an electric-powered fan supply the air to spin the gyro? Anybody have any insight for me? Thanks.

All: I heard a lot of air activity over my Washington, DC home today, and was told later by a friend that an 84-year-old pilot had a total electrical failure on the way from Stafford, VA (KRMN), where maintenance was being performed on his plane. According to my friend, the pilot landed at Indian...

OK, you have to humor me on this. I'm not talking about anything unrealistic (like Moller's skycar, etc). But what would prevent a design (even low performance/ultra light to start) that would allow a pilot to fly into an airport, then fold up his wings and cruise down surface streets at 45mph? It...

Just got around to reviewing all the comments under "Simulators". I guess it was inevitable that it ended up as disagreements with MX. While I don't want to get involved with that dead end, I have had an experience that kind of parallels. As I mentioned before, after I lost my medical, I tried...

Avgas was $3.99 from Riverside air service in Riverside Ca. I decided to only fill to the tabs. I filled up in Havasu it was $2.69 there. A month ago I was able to buy it for $2.09 in Havasu. Prices are going up.

well if anyone knows you guys should! what is this phenomena all about? we all can see normal contrails but the other sort - the ones that just hang in the air and spread wider and wider forming fake cirrus clouds, are we being poisened, are they reflecting back sunlight? and who is involved with...

Hello all, I have heard rumors in the past that Tinker Air Force Base (OKC) had a flying club. I have looked in the base newspaper, and the tinker homepage with no luck. I have also DAGS. Anyone know if one is still in exsistence, or even fly with them. I heard they may be based out...

I've decided to upgrade my old Telex headset, and have narrowed my choices to the Bose X or the David Clark X11. Any comments, positive or negative, about either of these two headsets? Thanks. Martha

I've flown with the Bose X in my pal's Navajo (he has two up front and two Sennheisers in back) and love it. The thing weighs nothing and the sound quality is fantastic (esp with the CD player piped in). My bitch is they're twice as much as the next cheapest ANR headset and by now I'd figured the...

I don't want this to sound like an advertisement for Lightspeed Aviation, but I have to hail any company that has outstanding service. My wife has a pair of 25XL headsets whose "stirrup" broke recently. We also have some 20XL headsets that are used for passengers. They had a screw missing along...

Which do you prefer and why? Thanks. Mike MU-2

I just wanted to open a discussion regarding other's personal weather minimums for VFR flights. I recently received my PPL ASEL certificate in July and most of the days that I have flown have been very nice days. Yesterday though I got caught a bit off guard and it prompted me to set a few...

I have a friend who bought an airplane in 1962, and he cannot remember the make. It was a white or cream taildragger with tandem seating and a control stick rather than a yoke. It was a high-wing airplane, and it was easy to fly. He bought it when he was 15, for $600, and his only training was...

Hi, Our C172 O-320 is well over TBO and needs new cylinders. We are thinking we might just bite the bullet and get a new engine at this stage. The Penn Yan Aero SuperHawk STC looks like a good option since it would give us 180 HP - a nice extra safety margin for our short strip. Has anyone here...

I local flying club advertised a Wings safety seminar for which they would charge $30. This was done in an message to a distribution list for local area pilots. Interestingly, if one went to the FAASafety.gov web pages and noticed this seminar, there was no mention of a charge, and one could sign...

Hi, all: I'm giving a presentation on what someone here called "instructor in command" syndrome: a pilot getting complacent because there's an instructor in the aircraft. I've found a number of good ones here, but any more - esp. with something "interesting" - would be welcome. I'd also...
