getting into the airplane business by
Mark
I'd appreciate any intelligent input into this idea I've
had presented to me.
Lately several flight schools have mentioned to me
they'd be interested in leasing a light-sport plane
from me if I purchased one. One person told me
about someone who did this with a new Cessna 172,
and it was paid off...

folding bicycle - Cardinal RG by
Stephen N Mills
I am planning to buy a folding bicycle for use in Vicky (N2679V -
Cardinal RG '75).
Eventually there will be two bicycles, his and hers. Occasional use
for trips up to 5 or 10 miles in moderate hills, no mountain biking,
no centuries. More than three speeds would be nice but I don't know...

Interesting podcast by
George Patterson
Heard about a pilot podcast on NPR and decided to check it out. I think it's
pretty good. It's a bit slow, though. You people with dialup connections might
not be able to handle it.

Alaska, no longer have to keep an eye out for stray moose on the
runway.
The municipal airport at Wasilla, a town about 40 miles north of
Anchorage, has installed an electric anti-moose mat around...

Commentary on UAL Pilots' Whining and Bellyaching by
[email protected]
I presented a brain teaser of sorts to my friend who had been a
professional football player and coach.
I asked: "What would you say of a football coach who recruited (within
constraints) less than the best players for his team?"
Well, my friend simply couldn't fathom this. He kept repeating:...

Take-off practices and procedures... by
EridanMan
Hey guys,
I'm sure this has been discussed in this forum before, but a rather
detailed google search back didn't come up with anything concrete, and
I have been wondering about it.

you do it?
There are 3 "official"...

in posting true and accurate accounts of what happened. I state here
and now, that I know what they all were, and have learned from them. I
do not wish to evoke the sort of criticism I copped last time.
Well, I was due to fly...

Required IFR Radios by
Bill Denton
If I am reading FAR 91.205 (d) (2) correctly, you only need one COMM radio
and one navigation radio (of some type) for IFR operation.
If this is correct, how do you stay in contact with ATC while picking up
ATIS, etc?
Are you allowed to request a frequency change, then come back to ATC?
Thanks!
