TFR not right IMO by
Bart
I was getting ready to go today and noticed that there were two
new TFR's for me to avoid. One of them closed a regional airport,
and the other a few miles away to the northwest. I saw the words
"Secret Service" and figured #1 or #2 was gonna be in town.
I did a news search and found out that the...

Aux power by
Bart
Anyone know where I can get the Aux power cannon plug (J217) for a Jetranger / OH58? Its a male two pin cylindrical job that plugs
in at the base of pedestal on
the copilots side and is intended to provide power to a Chadwick or aux radio.
TIA,

Need Turbine Time? by
Bart
Subject to the WX, I'm ferrying a Jet Ranger from Key West to Cleveland on Thursday 05/06/04 at 06:30EST and my left seat is
currently open. If you're interested, have a rotorcraft comm/cfi, weigh less than 190ish, and can get to Key West in time. Send a
mail message to Chopper3LW on yahoo.com....

All smoke no fire by
Bart
With all the heated debate over trival issues that I've seen in this
newsgroup, I have to say I'm really disappointed with what I'm seeing as
response to a real issue that affects the value of operating a helicopter in
the US.
Maybe you guys don't understand the impact of the proposed rule...

The Schwiezer crash in Texas by
Bart
Anybody hear what caused the engine out in that?
The video was pretty spectactular. The pilots were interviwed on TV, and
from my perspective the PIC did a pretty nice job given the amount of wires
he had to navigate around.

Dubya / Kill Devil Hills irony by
Bart
I'm watching the President's speech on CNN now at Kill Devil Hills.
The fact that there's a _huge_ TFR surrounding the area bothers me
a little. I wonder is he's really aware of how much impact he had
on GA and the people trying to get in and out of there.
I did notice that unlike the routine...

Does anyone here have experience in all three of these type a/c? I would like
to know which of the 3 would handle cross winds best and which has a safer
overall
operational record. So far, I've read that the gyro is better with crosswinds
(ref Dr. Taggart) than even some factory fixed wings. I...
