Blogs about soaring and aviation by Roger Worden
Blogs (web logs) are a rather new type of web site where the author periodically adds new articles about current events or simply his thoughts about a subject. As with RAS and other forums, helpful comments and additions are welcomed. Unlike on RAS, rants are not so welcome. :-) I have found just...

Towing by Roger Fowler
I recently rode with a towpilot who leaned the engine aggresively after retarding throttle at the start of the descent. While he is probably correct that it slows the rate of cylinder cooling significantly, I had never seen it done before. Is anyone else using this procedure?

Sealing an ASW 28 canopy by Bob Caldwell
After seeing the thread about the PIK canopies I wanted to ask if anyone had taken any extra ordinary steps to seal an ASW canopy. To date all I have done is to put some sticky back foam at the front near the demist vent. It is pretty good but I suspect it can be better. I have heard that it...

Twin Cadillac? by [email protected]
I found the article in the Washington Post interesting: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/02/AR2005070201186.html But the comment right at the end "The Grob Twin Astir, the Cadillac of two-seaters, snapped free, surfing upward on a rising column of warm air" was amusing,...

PENNINES NEAR PENRITH - UK by Malcolm Austin
Hi, for those that know the area, this question may not be a surprise. I am often driving up the M6 on my way to north Cumbria, and to my right (going north) there seems to be a long ridge of good height which seems to shout for some ridge soaring. Question is, there doesn't seem to be any...

How to get winpilot data base changed? by [email protected]
The problem is not in WinPilot it is in the FAA records of airports. If no one reports an airport closed it simply stays in the FAA data base for years. I flew at Hobbs, NM for twelve years and chartsw showed "Two Legs" private airport south of Denver City, TX but I could never see it from the...

How do you get Winpilot aviation database changed? by Birdbones
My Winpilot aviation database shows an airport that does not exist adjacent to our actual airport. It also does not show a public airport with 7,700' gravel runway 25 miles away. Does anyone know how to submit changes to the aviation database? Only user waypoints can be edited in Winpilot. The...

I'm a relatively new commercial pilot and have had several passengers with NPE...near puke events!

I make...

OLC edit by Jack
Is it possible to correct an OLC entry which shows the wrong date for a flight? I made two flights, one on 8-5 and the other on 8-6. Both show up on the OLC site as being made on the 6th, and during overlapping time periods. The begin- and end-time is correct for each, but though it's impossible...
