More Proof the FAA is EXPANDING Civil Rights and Management staff at FAA D.C. HQ while CUTTING Air Traffic controllers and technicians. Remember, Air Safety is no longer important at the FAA. Expanding worthless D.C. Empires and Civil Rights staff(SCAMS)while ****ing away American tax money...

Flyers, I know, I am forever hawking my aviation DVD's on eBay. I hope you have patience with me. There's even more to come after this. I hope you can take advantage of these DVD sales and learn and enjoy them as I have. I have three this time: DVD's start at $5.00 Aviation Media's DVD 121.5

How can I find out where the FAA thinks MEPTE is? On the NOS IFR charts it's charted as in the water (or over it), but when I fly it, it's over land. I know the NOS charts are not all that accurate (for topography) but I'd like to know where it is, for a certification flight for our GPS. Any...

I've been playing with the PDF approach plates. Well rendered they are easily readable at 600x800 (they're taller than they are wide, but narrower than the 4:3 aspect ratio of most display) with 16 levels of grayscale. 480x640 is pretty good with 16 levels of gray, down to right on the ragged...

I seem to remember live lightning maps being available, similar to radar maps but showing lightning strikes. However I can't find them. It seems they would be quite useful for preflight, and as an onboard weather too. Anybody know where these are (or if I'm just misremembering?) Jose -- The...
