Which Came First, the Santa Monica Airport, Or Those Who Chose To Build Their Homes Adjacent To It? SANTA MONICA VOTES TO RESTRICT RUNWAY DESPITE FAA (http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archives/avflash/859-full.html#195115) City commissioners in Santa Monica, Calif., voted last week to cordon off...

As I sit on the ground, on a day off, not flying due to (yet more) ice, I thought I'd share these interesting results with the group... Pilots are always surprised when I tell them that Mary and I have traveled the country extensively by light plane for 12 years, all VFR. While it's true that we...

Okay, I've never even had a flying lesson, which may explain it, but yesterday afternoon I stopped by a local airport to watch some planes, and noticed that the tower had them all taking off and landing more *with* the wind than against it. The wind was blowing at around 10-12 mph (around 10 or so...

Lots of great pictures.. Thanks. "Gilan" wrote in message ... For those that didn't make it to Sun n Fun 2003 and want to see some of what they missed I posted over 500 pictures on my website. ...

Anyone ever throw a weight in the back to get within allowable weight and balance? I am flying a C182 with 430 pounds (pilot & passenger) in the front row. The point is I would like both of us to sit up front for the flight. I have other aircraft that I can fly, and this is not a required flight...

Dallas writes: Don't know about low time... but, yeah... his fault. Sec. 91.113 Right-of-way rules: However, an aircraft towing or refueling other aircraft has the right-of-way over all other engine-driven aircraft. There is no chance the accident is not the fault of the Cirrus...

Yes, really! It took him several phone calls before he could get on his flight. Now, I know that the political leanings of most of you in this group will lead you to think that keeping people like Kennedy off of airplanes and away from Washington is good for the nation. However, if it can...

6 in South Carolina, 3 in Wisconsin, 3 in Florida (another Cirrus). A current AOPA focus is to make sure flying remains affordable for owners of "tired iron." They awarded a 1974 plane to a lucky winner in Colorado. On this web page a writer laments that GA planes don't have locking gas caps.

If the place where I work is telling me to work hour's for free, what should I do ? I am worried that working for free is illegal, immoral, unethical, and unprofessional, and I am also worried that it exposes me to the possibility of an IRS audit as I could be accused of getting paid "under the...

Hi folks - I'm somewhat new to flying. I heard references to "forward slip" to get rid of altitude on approach. Can someone give me the 2 sentence (or how ever many is adequate) to what a forward slip procedure is? Thanks! Gary

In a Cessna 150, anyone know where I can find replacement fuses? It's Bussman AGS 20 (for 20 amp). Thanks

Last year at SnF I stopped by the Cirrus booth and indicated interest in the Cirrus, leading to an offer of a demo flight. Scheduling problems prevented this from actually happening for over a year, but today the wait paid off. A cold front had come through yesterday, bringing rain, mist, low...

Thanks to a request by Darren Bedwell of the Central Indiana Soaring Society, I've added a new feature to the Geographic Calculators page at GPS Visualizer: "range rings." (I don't know what the official name for something like this would be, so I've borrowed a term that I've seen on weather radar...

Another attempted military airspace grab? The USMC wants to convert the San Onofre High and Low MOAs, that lie along the busy, aircraft-congested Pacific coastline, into a Restricted Area: R-2503D. The USMC say they need 38% higher Restricted Airspace to conduct live-fire artillery and aerial...

For you computer savvy folks in the newsgroup..... if I wanted to build a web page for my airport that provided live METAR data, where could I get the data from ? I see that the NWS web site has free software for decoding the METAR codes, but where and how do you get the current weather data ? ...

I can't vouch for the authenticity of this story. I was talking with an acquaintence I don't see often and he asked me: "You're a pilot aren't you?" I told him I was, that I'd gotten my PPL last August. He then launched into this story he'd heard from a relative who worked at the Udvar Hazy...

1. Has any helicopter been shoot down during Katrina rescue attempt? 2. Has any helicopters returned with bullet holes? one bullet hole? I'd say those people were shooting to get attention of the pilots. When I was young, I was taught to shoot three times in the air if you needed help. Bryan "The...
