Is anyone else out there wondering what in the heck happened here? For instance, what about the TCAS systems on both these planes? Were they working and what did they say? Were they talking to ATC and what was being said? Were they in cruise flight or were they in the terminal area? Did...

I read these messages via the Google home page....What do you have to do, or how can I mark them all read or deleted so I do not have to see this crap? Luckily my piloting skills are better than my computer skills.... They have bombed this group too much I say!!!! Doug

Last Friday, I went up for an introductory flight lesson out of the San Carlos airport. WOW!!!!!! I have been dreaming about learning to fly since I was in my teens. All the time I was in the air the lines of that famous poem kept going through my head "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of...

Flyers, For absolutely no reason, except that I want it, I have been taking Multiengine lessons (including Multi-Instrument and Commercial). The flight school has a Piper Seneca I (PA34-200) circa 1973. It fly's like a flying Bulldozer on Codeine (sp?). It's a beast...really. The controls...

Received yet another mailing offer for disability insurance - from a reputable company, ready to pay a $250-500K indemnity for complete disability. The insurance covered accidents at home or at work, and there were very few outright exclusions. Of the eight or so exclusions they listed, two...

I was circling over N85 in my partnership's non-retractable 182, considering landing. Someone had just landed there (on runway 26). He suggested that I might want to consider 31, given the wind direction, if I was "up to it". "Up to it"? I've landed at N85 a few times, but never on this...

Okay, rather than replying to the individual arrivals' threads, I felt compelled to start this new one. Is it just me, or is there a palpable feeling of freshness around here? A certain simmer notwithstanding, it seems to me that in the recent month or so, we've gotten at least three other...

We fly year-round, but many pilots around here seem to shut the hangar door after Thanksgiving, and not open it again until Easter. This year, with such unseasonably warm weather, I'm wondering if anyone is seeing more GA traffic? We're not any more than a normal January here in Iowa City --...

I've been reading about oral exams for a private pilot license (in the U.S.), and two questions have come to mind. Where does this exam take place? Is it in a classroom, or in a testing center, or is it actually in the aircraft? When you are asked math-type questions, are you expected to answer...
