Would anyone care to comment on the accuracy of this illustration of how wing dihedral works from a 1981 Jeppesen Sanderson book. http://makeashorterlink.com/?B25A35DCC The accompanying statement reads: "When an aircraft with dihedral rolls so that one wind is lower than the other, the lower wing...

Anyone have a link to or a copy of the lawsuit Gene Whitt filed against the airport that stopped freelance CFI's from operating from there. My local airport is attempting the same thing and I'm gathering information for the freelance CFI's I know..

I guess the Diversity workforce in the FAA is working great huh?? I believe the first video mentions the word "Incompetency" The same word I was chastised for using a few years ago by FAA Management Maybe I was just a little ahead of my time perhaps?

Winter is finally, officially here. I was going to celebrate with an hour or so of just tooling up and down the Owens Valley with a vague idea of shooting a couple landings at Mammoth Airport (KMMH) provided the runway was clear. Alas, time and a deflated nose gear strut permits not. ...

Sorry, I got my information wrong when I stated that a three bladed prop advanced 15 inches during each revolution at 200 mph. I now have the article in front of me and the exact quote is as follows: "At 200 mph and 2,800 rpm, the blades on my three-plade prop follow three distinct helical paths...

I found a new rental opportunity at CYBW (Springbank, Alberta) with a brand new 172SP the other day and today went out for a Mountain check ride with the chief CFI. Now, I did two mountain courses over the past 18 months - one with my original training outfit and one with the local flying club....

After all the talk about not using "leading zeros" when making radio calls referring to runways, I tried my darndest to omit those offending zeros today. To my surprise and dismay, my mouth has apparently developed an "autopilot" mode that seemed to prohibit even the simplest changes to my rote...

Hello all, I was thinking about flying the family up to NYC to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Anyone recommend an airport to fly in to? I would rather not rent a car, just get into town somehow and then the walk or cab it while in the city.

I've read the term ground loop in a lot of articles and accident reports but what exactly is a ground loop? --Mike

I was circling over N85 in my partnership's non-retractable 182, considering landing. Someone had just landed there (on runway 26). He suggested that I might want to consider 31, given the wind direction, if I was "up to it". "Up to it"? I've landed at N85 a few times, but never on this...

Sure -- the ONE time in my life I want to fly to Superior, WI, in the middle of absolutely no where Wisconsin, to visit the Bong Museum (BOTH kids are at camp -- heh, heh) -- and the President of the United States chooses TODAY to visit Duluth, MN. Right across the bridge from Superior... It's a...

Last Friday, I went up for an introductory flight lesson out of the San Carlos airport. WOW!!!!!! I have been dreaming about learning to fly since I was in my teens. All the time I was in the air the lines of that famous poem kept going through my head "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of...

I reside about 6 miles off the departure end of MSP runway 12, so I'm used to hearing a lot of jet traffic. I've only lived here for 6 months but I quickly adjusted to the noise. It's acutally not that bad, excepting the venerable DC-9. Today, though, what looked like an F-18 flew over. Wow. I...
