Congratulations...

Is there a decent source for a statistic that gives VFR vs. IFR vs. NO FLY for geographic areas? Say, for iced in Iowa, or for turbulent but clear Tejas.

Does anybody know a place that offers complex airplane renting/instruction in Southern Illinois? Thanks!

Say, Jay, I was visiting my sister-in-law in CA last weekend and wanted to show a friend of hers our listing in the RAP bio pages on your website. I couldn't find a link anywhere to the pages. Are the pages still there? Where is a link to them on the website? Just curious. Those pages are...

....but I figured this may be a good place to start. I've noticed recently that during take-off I feel such an immense pressure against my head and chest area that I literally can't even see straight. (its a very strange feeling of helplessness that lasts maybe 10 seconds after take off) I know...

What exactly do they mean by this? Has anyone ever been denied their ATP because they weren't in "good moral character"? What do they use as a metric?

I dreamt that I received a notice from a collection agency that I had some unpaid bills. I called them and they said that I owed the FAA some money, so they were initiating the collection process. This came as news to me, so I marched down to my local FAA office to get things straightened...

Awesome first flight http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4488361.stm

Planning a flight tomorrow to BOS-FRG (Farmingdale, on Long Island). My home airport is HPN (White Plains), about 15 minutes North. After I drop off my passenger, what's the best way to get back into White Plains? FRG and HPN have different NY Approach frequencies, and HPN is a pseudo class C. ...

Dear friend, Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bill Gamelson, and I had a promising life ahead of me. I grew up with the nicest mom and dad I could have ever had. I stayed in school and when I graduated I wanted to become an airline pilot. I began the quest for my goal by getting my...

I see two angles coming on this one.... Damn environmentalists.... 1. Non-native species invades local eco-system, creates trouble for local wildlife. 2. Rare species found now requires protection, close the airfield and 1000 acres of former public land now bird sanctuary.

Can anyone verify this? (from NORDO NEWS) WHAT DOES JET FUEL HAVE TO DO WITH FLYING A CHAMP? * Why should you be concerned about the recent addition of a highway tax on jet fuel?** Well, the authorities believe highway operators are buying jet fuel because it is cheaper than diesel (no hwy tax)...

Charlie's inane ramblings are now viewable on the CNN.com website. This guy is truly stupid. He says when he watched the second plane hit the tower "he had a feeling" that it just didn't look like any commercial jet he had ever seen. He also said it looked like a controlled demolition. In...
