How much for a medical in your area? by
Greg Houston
x-no-archive: yes
What are Class III and Class II medicals going for in you area, for
example metro Boston or metro Philadelphia? I've run into the problem
that the AMEs I've called are too busy with their regular practice to
do medicals. Unfortunately, the FAA only permits so many AMEs per
each...

Airline Pilot for a day? by
[email protected]
Hi all,
I seem to remember a few years back there was a program run by one of
the airlines where for a fee of around $1500 or so you would go and
train for a weekend on a Boeing 737 and at the end you would actually
get to fly one for half an hour or so.
Does anyone know if that program still...

Hurricane Dennis cont'd by
Dan Luke
Went to Mobile Downtown Airport this morning to fly my airplane out of
harm's way, and ended up leaving it there.
I saw the line guys putting the bizjets in their hangars and, with
minimal begging and pleading, got them to stuff '87D in there with the
Citations and Lears. The building is supposed...

Turning 1000 by
Dan Luke
When I totalled up the hours in my log book after the OSH trip Friday,
they came to over 1,000. As I did when I turned 500 a little over three
years ago, I stopped to reflect on what has changed about flying for me
in the last 500 hours:
* I used to do a lot of just flying around the local area,...

A new generation of barely audible, fuel-efficient passenger
aircraft described as "flying wings" with "virtual windows"
could arrive in two decades, engineers from Britain's Cambridge
University said. "The noise level we're looking for would be to
take it below the background noise that people...

How much lack of similarity in airliner flying? by
Otis McNatt
Suppose *both* pilots in, say, a B-737, were to die in flight
due to some incredible, but unfortunate coincidence. For
instance, one could die of a heart attack, and the other, say,
of an aneurysm. Now, I'll admit the chances of this happening are
remote, but it could happen; stranger things...

Radio protocol regarding full stops on full stop only nights by
Ben Hallert
Hi guys,
I was doing closed traffic at an unnamed airport with a 'No touch &
goes at night' rule. On downwind, I made the following call (because I
am aware of the rule) "XXX ground, Cherokee 1234 Sierra on downwind,

position and hold at an angle by
Jose
A few months ago there was a discussion here about positioning on the
runway at an angle to better see traffic from the rear while awaiting
takeoff clearance, and I opined in the face of dissent by Steven
McNicoll that it was a good idea.
I had a chance to fly a 172 while I was out west and was...
