I had 2 Dui's (one when I was 21 and one when I was 22) and I'm now almost 28. I was working on a degree in communications and I'm at about the junior level, but my old dream of flying just came back to me all of the sudden and I thought I would make absolutely sure if those DUI's will be more...

So I'm on my way home from Green Bay today (where Monday night my son and I saw his first pro-football game, and my first game at Lambeau Field), and the weather is fairly crappy. By noon conditions had risen to VFR along our route of flight (KGRB to KIOW -- Iowa City, IA), with ceilings in Green...

The manual for my aircraft gives figures for MOM and ARM at various stations, but it doesn't actually explain how to use these to calculate weight and balance. I want to place the load so that the aircraft neither pitches down nor pitches up. Can someone provide me with a pointer to an...

Today we experienced a new first, when the tower controller at Jefferson City, Missouri decided to cut a Cessa 172 in front of me on a short right base, *after* clearing me to land on Rwy 30. Incredulous, I slowed as much as possible, and watched as the 172 (who was several hundred feet above us)...

Plan to be in the Phoenix area towards the middle of May, enroute to KMYF. What route would you recommend from the Phoenix area to KMYF ?

When you make a coordinated turn in an aircraft, are you taught to let your head tilt with the bank angle of the aircraft, or are you taught to keep your head normal to the horizon?

I got a demo flight in a Diamond DA-40 equipped with the Garmin G-1000 glass cockpit this morning. We departed IFR from Tacoma Narrows and flew west for some maneuvers. This plane was the second one out of the factory with the G-1000. I had a difficult time maintaining my altitude; the altitude...

How does MS flight simulator simulate the symptoms of hypoxia?

Once again, I'm not a real pilot. Yesterday my daughter was confronted at school by some (6th grade) classmates, they said her father was not a real pilot. To give you a little back history, my daughter is so proud of her father that she's always telling anyone she meets that her father is a...

I have always been under the impression that lift is the product of airspeed and angle of attack, and that lift is the measure of upward force acting on the plane at a given time. For instance, if you are doing slow flight, your wings are producing the same amount of life that you would be if you...

Is it safe/wise to fly a Cessna 172R from Telluride to Aspen? If so, what conditions or restrictions (if any) should be observed?

I'm kind of curious - does anyone with more than 100 hours do a flight plan, with winds and all, before they fly cross country? Most of my planning is of the fuel stop, or occasionally detour for weather variety - but it is rare for me to include more than one or two waypoints in my "plan", and I...

I was trying to explain to a non-pilot why increased power is required with altitude. She said "isn't the air thinner up there so there isn't as much resistance?" I said "yes, but the plane needs to fly fast enough for the air over the wings to feel like it does down low. So the speed required...

I was told by a good source from law enforcement to avoid the Quiet Birdmen As they are related to and have similar beliefs as QAon. Aviation does not need these cancers.

How do autopilots make coordinated turns even when they cannot control the rudder?

Nomen Nescio wrote: "You have to leave, NOW, sir!", he replied sternly. Now this brings up an interesting question. Are we, as US citizens on public land during peacetime, required to abide by the orders of military personnel? On what grounds did he have authority over your actions and...

Does the average weight calculation for passengers on commercial flights include an allowance for their carry-on luggage? The reason I ask is that, if the carry-on weight is shifted to the hold, calculations that use an assumed average weight for passengers and their carry-ons in conjunction with...
