Turbine air start -- too cold? by
Juan Jimenez
The engine on my homebuilt aircraft is a small French turbine, a Microturbo
022 Couguar (one version behind the TRS-18-046). It starts using good ol'
air impingement, which the manual specs out to 145 psi, 1.21 lbs volume.
Now, I always had problems motoring the engine to a high enough RPM where...

Airbus A380 in Arizona by
User
Spotted on Interstate 10 about 75 miles east of Tucscon, Arizona, on
the afternoon of 11/17:

load appeared to be a fuselage section about 75 feet long, and
significantly larger in diameter than a 747. And the whole package
was...

Vibration Monitor (Hyde, Wanttaja?) by

They make some pretty good points, as the UAL people currently stand to

Busted TFR, what to expect? by

destination I was asked by the airport manager to call an ATC number,
