Well, it's almost 2 months since I last flew, due to maintenance issues and a holiday interstate. I had a lesson today, and was feeling fairly confident that I hadn't become too rusty, due to constant visualisation and going over stuff in my head. I was slightly nervous about the a/c as it's wings...

Hit delete or if you're as disappointed with customer service as I am, read on.... Sit down for a long one... I had to type this all out before I forgot, maybe it will make somebody out there feel like they are not the only one that things like this happen to. I've got a new "Worst Company in the...

Hey, all. For purposes of ballparking my budget next year, I'm wondering what it costs Joe Average Pilot, CP-ASEL-IA to get his CFI these days. Any new CFIs care to discuss? Thanks! -Chris PP-ASEL-IA, completing Commercial in August.

I just got a grapevine report that one (or more) of the Blue Angels may have gone down near Pensacola . . . anyone know anything? www.Rosspilot.com

I see someone has targeted several people who post to r.a.p and r.a.h and begun forging their names in the "From" headers and posted troll-like posts in an attempt to "Joe Job" the targets. Or it may simply be an attempt to disrupt the newsgroups (more than usual, that is!). At the moment all...

Hi I have plans to visit the USA this September for 3 weeks. There i'd like to charter a C172 for 12 to 14 days. Starting point would be LA (California). Does anybody know a serious company or flight school where it is possible to charter a C172 in the LA area? Kind regards Timo / Switzerland

So we were watching "Seconds From Disaster" on NGC last night, which happened to be on AA 77. When they mentioned that seconds after gaining control of the aircraft the hijackers turned off the transponder (along with a brief explanation of what the transponder does), my wife simply says: "That's...

Woke up this morning (5/25/05) to hear this on WPLJ in NY (in reference to the ADIZ incursion a couple weeks ago)... - Rumsfeld had ordered the plane to be shot down, and they were literally seconds away from doing so... - The "CFI" had his "license" revoked... - The "student pilot" would not be...

I'm just starting an appropriately-named thread for this topic, as it seems like something worthy of discussion. The specter of full automation replacing pilots entirely continues to loom ever larger in commercial and military aviation. The old arguments against it are beginning to ring quite...
