Hi all, I was very impressed by the article on the Eclipse 500 in the latest AOPA magazine. After so much skepticism, criticism, and so forth, it appears that the promised aircraft is about to be delivered. I was particularly impressed by the description of the development process, and by...

I would like to extend an offer to you or any other pilots that might be interested in the Breitling watch line. This is a great watch for professionals. Some features include slide rule, emergency tracking, chronograph and many more. I can mail you a catalog or your visit www.breitling.com We...

Well, here we go again although so far there is just the one nut. A few years back there was an organized effort to close Midland Barstow (3BS). Of course the argument was noise even though we were here first. As the noise issue was not working they tried to fire up the residents by complaining...

Hi, Firstly I'm in Australia and VFR. I have a Garmin III Pilot, but am also about to purchase an iPaq PDA. Rather than upgrade to a colour GARMIN (296/396) at megabucks I thought I could get similar functionality using the PDA. Costings seem to be PDA nil (it's a sunk cost I'm going to buy it...

By this time tomorrow I will probably be posting my good-by to this group and the most interesting and rewarding adventure of my life. During an insurance review today we learned that our umbrella policy will only cover aircraft risks if I also have an aviation policy that covers each person up to...

I'm 48, and time to have me som fun... Been flying as a passenger since I was 8 months, have had 102 flights on commercial flights that I can recall ... Have flown Schweizer 232 sailplanes, and Cessna 172's (not take off or landings.) Have played with MS Flight Sim since 1995, and probably have...

It is my understanding that even if a GPS is reading perfectly and your standard altimeter is reading perfectly even on a standard day that the 2 values will not be the same. Does anyone know about how far off they are and if there is a way to calculate what the difference should be? My guess is...

anyone have details?? Press Release Source: Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Philanthropist and Entrepreneur John Walton Killed in Airplane Crash Monday June 27, 8:19 pm ET BENTONVILLE, Ark., June 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- It is with great

What's the farthest west civilian airport in the Aleutians? I see military airports on Shemya and Attu: what happens if a civilian aircraft comes along and politely asks to join the traffic pattern? -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's...

I was searching via Google for informational schematics, or even just a written description, on Lycoming's fuel injection system because it's different from Continental's. I came across Lycoming's website in which a number of technical and informational articles reside. One of...

Anybody care to take a shot at this question? I took a ride in a P51D recently. After we left the pattern the owner, in the front seat, let me (in the back seat) take over the stick for the next hour. Then in the pattern he took over and landed. I was the only one who touched the controls for an...

This will be my first winter flying the club's Lance. One instructor told me that you want to tap the brakes before retracting the gear to dislodge any slush or snow so that it doesn't freeze in the wheel well, and I read somebody else saying that you should hold off retracting the gear...

The latest Military-Civil MAC occurred Tuesday, January 18, 2005. The military pilots stated the Air Tractor impacted the right side of their...

I've noticed something about my landings over the last few years, and wondered if you folks have had the same experience? After my first 100 hours or so, my landings were pretty consistently okay. A nice one every now and then, adequate ones the rest of the time. Every now and then a crosswind...

Forgive something a little off topic for the group. Thought that some fellow pilots would want to know about this effort to save Star Trek Enterprise from cancellation. It is a very serious effort, and not just "trekkies". There is an active campaign to raise money to finance a fifth season that...

This past Sunday, while visiting Lawrenceville, GA (KLZU Class C just under the outer ATL Class B), traffic was landing and departing 25. The controller was busy, coordinating with Atlanta, handling clearance delivery, ground, and tower simultaneously. He was broadcasting on all...

To date I have a whopping 8 hours in the Arrow. The last 2.9 were by far the most fun since the two flights involved maneuvers and landings (lots of landings). The more I get to fly N2104T, the more I like it. Things are becoming more and more comfortable and familiar. Still have lots to learn...

Like cars, mass production of personal plane is possible. Mass training of pilots who can work on pay equal to pay of car-driver is possible. But still i do not see planes in sky. Reason is costly fuel. Am i right?
