I presume you mean "LSA," since there's no US "VLA" certification category. ummm - sorry about the confusion, you are right. I meant LSA (Light Sport Aircraft). Seems that I am dreaming of a VLJ or so... ;-) I think as long as it is N-numbered, reciprocity agreements will allow it to be ...

I've been giving some thought on to how to replace DAFIF navigation data now that it's going away.

I've...

You may want to check with a computer hardware group, but here are my comments. Hard drives fly the read/write head on the air cushion over the platters. As the air gets thinner at altitude, the head crashes. You may be able to find hardware rated for altitudes up to FL180 or even higher. ...

I do some of my best thinking while flying along in the Champ at 500 feet AGL. The latest realization to hit me was, "What am I going to leave behind in the way of an aviation legacy?" Photographs are one of the easiest most efficient ways to share our flying experiences with other, so that is one...

Hi, I was messing about with Google Earth and spotted what looks like a medium-sized twin-engined passenger 'plane (Boeing 737-ish?)*extremely* close to the ground just south of Belsen in Niedersachsen, N Germany. The location is 52 deg 44 min 38 sec N, 9 deg 56 min 5 sec E. It looks like it was...
