I am a former student pilot (with about 15 hours) who is developing an autonomous UAV. I've read contradicting reports that lateral acceleration is and isn't an accurate indication of slip. The inclinometer ("the ball") in a full scale/manned airplane measures lateral acceleration. I've read that...

I am considering KLN-90B as replacement for my M-3 Approach. Question for experienced KLN-90B users: Legality aside, can you operate KLN-90B in approach mode (doing GPS approaches) with an outdated database? Thanks in advance, Robin Hou

Allow me to share with you here some information about the AIM of LIFE . What is your purpose in life? What is the rationale behind our life? Why do we live in this life? These questions frequently intrigue people who try to find accurate answers. People provide different answers to these...

For the last few weeks I have been getting numerous phone calls everyday from a number that lists itself as "PUB INTEREST CO". Since I'm not in the habit of picking up the phone to talk to solicitors, I don't answer calls from unknown parties. But today I thought I would put an end to all the...

I read a valuable article recently which desribes what steps to take to isolate problems in the air and better communicate problems to an A&P. I can't remember where I read this article. Can you help me find it?

Anybody have any feedback on the Garmin 96C or 96? Thanks, John Bell www.cockpitgps.com

Another cool RV-4 has been added to the Rec.Aviation Rogue's Gallery! See Jim Fleischman's fabulous paint job at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm (You've got to navigate your way to the "F's" to see it...) He's even got working "bomb shackles" on the wings, for dropping flour...

how long has it been since airports have gone from 3-to-4 letter identifiers? also, when did ATC go from 2000 feet vertical separation above FL290 to 1000 feet? and, no, I was not doing time in prison for the past 20 years for trafficking.

Is it common to fly from North America to Europe in a small (Cessna to smaller) type aircraft? I saw a show on discovery about people taking ultralights around the world! Just wondering if anyone here has done it or knows if it is a good idea? Any help would be wonderful, thanks. -- Fritz

Hi Guys, As a newly licenced GA PPL I was wondering what this group's views were on how much general flying would be appropriate before I think about training for any endorsements or ratings? Obviously I need higher skills to get something like a night rating, and would (say) 50 hrs of weekend...

Anybody have good information about this event? It's supposed to be the 22nd-25th at Wynkoop (6G4) in Mt. Vernon, OH but I am not having any luck tracking down an events web page for it. I have a friend that is just dying to see a biplane up close. -- Hello, my name is Mike, and I am an airplane...

Just curious if anyone reading this group has ever piloted an airship.

Hi folks, Looking for some advise This might seem strange. I'm one of those guys who didn't have much "vision" earlier on in life in terms of what I wanted to do. I got plenty-o-schooling, but feel now, nearing age 37, that I didn't make the "best choices" in terms of a career that makes me...

I'm just learning to fly and right now my instructor loans me his set but i'd like to have my own. I'd like to keep the expense to a $350 limit. Can any of you give me a recommendation on... - Features to look for - Makes and Models - Cheapest places to purchase Thanks, Gene

I got my IFR ticket almost 3 mos ago. Due to a variety of reasons I just didn't fly much after that. Between work, school and family I needed to take a break from the intense training leading up to the checkride on March 1. I've done a little flying since then but with other pilots, switching...

Hi all, I'm a Dutch pilot(PPL SEP) going to Kalamazoo MI for business. While I'm over there I think about doing some sight seeing by plane, with an instructor of course. Can anybody recommend FBO's in that area? I like small/regional airfields best, nothing that sounds like 'blahblah...
