has anybody got info on how far that project has developed? i have a link to a ppt-presentation on that subject http://www.jaa.nl/conference/20th/code/FCL%20Harmonisation.ppt regards from loww, vie, austria wolfgang k.

-----quote----- Biff was to fly me in an F-14D Tomcat, a ridiculously powerful $60 million weapon with nearly as much thrust as weight, not unlike Colin Montgomerie. I was worried about getting airsick, so the night before the flight I asked Biff if there was something I should eat the next...

http://tinyurl.com/24jyqb Have had recent past with XCor folks, they are straight shooters. I would have the tendency to believe their timing not disbelieve it. YMMV

http://tinyurl.com/24og9o Read about the bewildering details of a number of long-suffering non-resident pilots who have been caught in the FL tax trap, (otherwise known as the "Florida Landing Fee"). It starts like this... you buy a new or used aircraft and sign the bill of sale... which starts...

This got me thinking, a rudderless Ercoupe in a multi-directional wind landing...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l2NJFrvYls Do you (I) really want a home that close to a GA landing strip? Yet I see megabuck homes in my neck of the woods http://www.visualtour.com/shownp.asp?prt=85&t=1217861

I have been reading the various threads about spins, forced landings, etc and talking with CFIs. The road to a PPL is preset in requirements by FAA. I see that most people are happy to do nothing more than that. Outside of the cost factors, I find this much more than curious considering...

http://tinyurl.com/ynlf2n Rather sickening emphasis on family grief :( -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!

It's time to stop talking and start doing so I would appreciate any advice on how to assess a flight school, instructor, pricing and any other suggestions. No advice too basic, trust me :) Including what I should have included in this post or requested in the first place TIA Location: SW...

I think I've come to the conclusion that I will let my IFR rating lapse. As it stands, I seem to be flying mostly to keep the rating current, rather than flying for the enjoyment. I don't really go anywhere, the wife won't fly with me, and the skyrocketing cost is making me look hard at the...

June 2007. I failed my 3rd class medical exam and was grounded. I am 50 years old, 5'9", 158 lbs. No family history of hypertension. But due to a number of current stress factors in my life, mother in law and father in law both passing away recently and suddenly, the work of disposing of...

I rent and fly 172s out of Gainesville, GA (KGVL). I used to fly out of 47A and had a number of safety pilots available there (too far to be convenient for them now), but this FBO is fairly new and doesn't have a list put together yet of pilots that can safety for me. Anyone know of a good place...

I meet their criteria as a current, instrument rated, 300 hr pilot, but I don't know how much use they would get from me as a renter, not owner. Anyone here able to enlighten me? -- Jeff 'The Wizard of Draws' Bucchino Cartoons with a Touch of Magic� http://www.wizardofdraws.com

I've waited nearly 3 years for this day, and so has the Little Man. Over the course of the last few months, every time I've left the house on a Sunday to go fly, the Little Man has known where I was going and would say in a small, plaintive tone, "I need to go fly with Papa." There is no greater...

The wife and I have just returned from a week's vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. With Kitty Hawk was just up the road, you know where we ended up one day... I thought we would stop so I could pay my respects and have a look around, but I had no idea that it would have the effect on...

OK, I broke down and sprung for the Lowrance Airmap 2000c instead of the 1000. Wow. Normally I rent a plane that has a panel-mounted IFR certified Garmin 430, but that may change due to circumstances beyond my control in a few months. Obviously I can't file /G IFR without a proper IFR GPS, but...

Dave, Dave the Gist Silversmiths guy emailed me to ask me to post this email address to the group: and also said his email was valid. -- Jeff 'The Wizard of Draws' Bucchino Cartoons with a Touch of Magic� http://www.wizardofdraws.com

Does anyone know where I can lay my hands on an airport database with name, ID, lat/long and elevation? I've found two from separate sources that are close, but each is missing at least one element that I'd like to have and I don't relish the thought of trying to merge them into one. -- Jeff 'The...
