12,500-pound aircraft by
Maurice Givens
I seem to remember that back in the '70s there was a requirement for
an ATP certificate to act as PIC for aircraft weighing over 12,500
pounds. I also seem to remember that the corporate jets were kept
below the 12,500-pound limit for this reason. I can no longer find
this requirement in te...

Any W&B calculators that work in 640x480 on HP4700 PDA? by
Jose
I am after a simple W&B calculator for a PDA, with a few E6B
calculations (density altitude, say) but nothing else.
Try CoPilot, for the palm. It does more than just w&b, but you don't
have to use it. IT is outstandingly excellent though.

This happened when they were filming The Hunted along the Willamette River

plane was receiving fuel and the attendant asked him...

I've searched the BAA site but can find no info. Air NZ page indicates
