Anyone ever make the trip in a 172? What route did you take? I'm going south but thought I'd ask for others experiences. Matt

I have no clue who the 8 or 9 men in black suits with radios were this morning when I go to the airport. I did see their rather LARGE jet parked out behind the building. So I'm out sitting in the plane when another LARGE jet came screaming in, kicking up dust in front of me. Some guy walked over...

Is there an demo software for download for the BK/Honeywell KMD150 ? I will be renting a plane in CA in a few weeks that has a KMD150 and I would like to be familar with it . Bruce

I fly a PC12 for a charter company, and ours has the 8 seat executive seating. There is a 9 seat airline config for the plane available - add in the two crew seats and you're still short three seats for the 14 people that were lost in the crash. Did they have kids sitting on the floor in the aisle?...

I took the hint and have begun migrating images off Photosig and over to pBase. If you want, take a look at www.pbase.com/flyingphotog and tell me if you get bigger, better images (and I hope, not a lot of crap to fight through.) Thanks, Jay B

Does anyone know about the aviation development for Honda's light jet going in in North Carolina near Greensboro? Is there a specific location that is there in a somewhat permanent basis? Thanks!

I was listening to Tuesdays ATC at JFK and PHL from around 5pm that day, and both airports were basically at a standstill for departures. At PHL planes were back and forth between tower and clearance getting clearances and revised clearances. At JFK the tower was relaying clearances to the...

Hi guys, A friend an I were stuck in traffic next to Santa Monica airport. I looked over and saw the gate leading into the airport, and I joked to my friend that if we had a transceiver, we could drive up to the runup, then call SMO ground and request transition across the runway to the lower...

I passed my IA checkride on April 17th, and still haven't received my newfangled plastic certificate. The FAA airmen database lists the rating, so I know they're aware of it. The DE gave me a temporary certificate which expires in less than a month, what should I do assuming it doesn't come soon?...

My son Austin passed his checkride yesterday at San Marcos, Texas. Just had to crow. I can't help myself. H.

Hi, This accident is a 'local' one for us Bay Area pilots. The report sure makes interesting reading. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief2.asp?ev_id=20030618X00901&ntsbno=LAX03FA187&akey=1 Hilton

I have put together a free online flight planner which GA pilots migh find useful: 'fly.dsc.net' (http://fly.dsc.net). It's somewhat unusual in that it instead of using a database of onl aviation waypoints you can plan using any place as a waypoint. Thi means it is good if you want to fly to a...

Hello to the group ! Does anybody use the VertexStandard Pilot VXA-210? My question: The manual says that the led on top of the unit will glow green if it is receiving a carrier and the color will change to red when transmitting. With my handheld the led is only glowing green when receiving; the...

As you may know, the FAA folks in Oklahoma City put out a quarterly "Designee Update." It is intended for instructors and designated examiners, in the interest of standardization and getting the word out on policy changes. It is available to anyone at the AFS-600 site. I asked Paul J. Maenza, its...
