F-16 Encounters in MOA by three-eight-hotel
Admittedly, I didn't exhaust all search strings to find this topic discussed in these forums, but I didn't see any hits, on my first few attempts... I am interested in hearing thoughts on the encounters that are linked off of the AvWeb...

Feds Want to Equipe Gliders With Transponders and Radios by Larry Dighera
If this is implemented, will it affect powered aircraft without electrical systems too? How much does the gliders right-of-way over powered aircraft affect this issue? Is ATC going to take legal and financial responsibility for separation if gliders are mandated to be so equipped and...

Ethanol Mandate for Iowa? by Jay Honeck
Today Rep. Jim Nussle -- potentially the future governor of Iowa -- was reported as proposing that all gasoline sold in Iowa be required to contain 20% ethanol additive. Presumably, this legislation, if passed, would make the sale of regular unleaded gasoline illegal in Iowa. See the story...

Stalls?? by Ol Shy & Bashful
Why is it so many pilots are afraid of stalls? I see it over an over when doing flight reviews and checks. Why are pilots so afraid of flying in the low end of the speed envelope? Isn't that where the nasty things can happen? Isn't that where a pilot should be comfortable and competent? What do you...

Engine out practice by Jay Honeck
As previously noted (in the thread about Paul's wife getting scared), Mary and I had virtually stopped doing this kind of flying for fear of harming our (very expensive) engine. A lively debate ensued as to whether or not repeated high-to-low-to-high power applications would wear out your engine...

Do you have to solo to get current? by Skidder
As we all know, you can't carry a passenger unless you are current. But if two pilots get in an aircraft with dual controls, can either of them really be considered a passenger? You can log PIC from either seat. Lets say, I have a PPL but am not current. My best friend has a PPL but is not...

VFR position reporting by Mxsmanic
I'm still not clear on the exact procedure for position reports if you are flying VFR over long distances without flight following. To whom do you report your position, and what information should it include? Which positions do you report and how often? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach...

OT - Anyone here own a restaurant? by Jay Honeck
So the land adjacent to the inn is for sale, and we want to put an aviation themed restaurant on the site. It'll be the perfect fly-in restaurant, with breakfast all day, decent prices, ugly waitresses, and a 2nd-floor patio over-looking the airport. We want to call it "the Tower", and it'll have...

At last, the truth... by Jay Honeck
Most of our guests at the hotel are not pilots. It's simply a matter of numbers -- there are a LOT more non-pilots than there are pilots, and they need hotel rooms, too. Many of our guests are "wannabes" or aviation enthusiasts, however. Although we have found many people who are afraid...

Gross Weight by Fred Choate
Here is a topic that was of discussion at work today: How much is too much over gross weight? For example.....the 172 has a gross weight of 2300 lbs, but what if you are 2345 at time of takeoff.....is that too much over, even if you are going to be burning enough fuel before your first scheduled...

Procedure for calculating weight and balance by Mxsmanic
The manual for my aircraft gives figures for MOM and ARM at various stations, but it doesn't actually explain how to use these to calculate weight and balance. I want to place the load so that the aircraft neither pitches down nor pitches up. Can someone provide me with a pointer to an...

Getting confused with ATC order...Violation? by RubberWatch
Hello- I am a student pilot. I was out flying solo today and was instructed by ATC to fly a heading of 210. I thought he said 110 and I flew on that heading. He then told me it looks like your going the wrong direction i need you to fly 210. I got a bit locked up and said 210. I ended up on...

Ladies & Gentlemen: Happy Fourth! by Jay Honeck
To my Fellow Americans: Happy Independence Day! Just think, if we hadn't won the war for independence from Great Britain, some 230 years ago, we all wouldn't be speaking Spanish today... :-) Seriously, where else can a man hop in his own airplane, load it up with car gas, and take his family...

Mechanics of Elevator Trim. In Detail. by Le Chaud Lapin
Hi All, This post is primarily directed toward student pilots like myself. First, I am not asking because I want to know the answer (I already know), but do a little experiment. I have maybe 7 or 8 different sources of flight information that I rely on for ground school (Jeppesen, FAA Handbooks,...

Todays Cost of getting a PPL by john smith
After reading John's (BucFan) posting and the revelation that he spent $12,500 to get his PPL, I have to wonder how representative this is? It certainly is daunting, to say the least. Is this is true, it is certainly a factor in the decline in pilot starts and completions. Where you live: What...

Flying patterns by Mxsmanic
Where on the Web can I learn more about flying traffic patterns? I see constant references to them in various sources, but nothing that explains exactly when they are used, and how. For example, after reading for a while, I think I now understand what the crosswind, base, final, and downwind legs...
