Private Pilot in 10 days by
Gilan
I just started flying at a school that offers Private Pilot in 10 days. I
plan on taking a bit longer then 10 days but wondered how long the average

O2 Concentrator instead of O2 tank by
tom
Does anyone use an oxygen concentrator to supply pilot and passengers
in a light plane flying over 14000 feet? A quick google did not turn
up anything but home units and a recent ruling that they can be used on
commercial airlines, but I did not find anything about their use on
private...

Flying a 172 with Autopilot? by
VE5JL
Is there any one here flying a 172 using an autopilot?
I think on longer flights (3+ hours) and autopilot would be an advantage,
however there are some in the old school that think it is not necessary.
I'd like some opinions.
thx
Joe

Engine problem - Seneca II by
BDS
We've been having a problem with the engines on our Seneca II for awhile now
and I wonder if anyone else has any experience with it. The engines are
TSIO-360s and if we lean at cruise with about 75% power (typically around
32-in MP) or less to anything over about 1400 EGT (which is still ROP),...

Switching to ground.... by
David Rind
I landed at BED a couple of days ago, and as I was rolling out
the controllers switched, so I never got the usual instruction
to "turn off at Golf, ground .7". Since Golf was the first
taxiway to turn off on anyway, I made the turn off.
Tower was now so busy (common at BED) that I could not get a...

Shooting at helicopters, any proof? (Katrina) by
Flyingmonk
1. Has any helicopter been shoot down during Katrina rescue attempt?
2. Has any helicopters returned with bullet holes? one bullet hole?
I'd say those people were shooting to get attention of the pilots.
When I was young, I was taught to shoot three times in the air if you
needed help.

Bad day in Oklahoma by
GeorgeC
I was scheduled to fly today; my CFI said I need some work on landings before
he'd sign me off. I checked ADDS before I left the house, and the TAF said there
should have a 14 knot crosswind component, which would be OK. In Oklahoma if you
can't do crosswind T/O's, you can't fly. When I got the...

"Tanks on both" checklist item by
Koopas Ly
Good day all,
With regards to fuel tanks in a C172, why does the takeoff and landing
checklists both call for the fuel selector handle to be in the "both
tanks" position?
The only time that fuel is set to one particular tank is on the
ground. I've never used fuel from only one tank in flight. ...

Aircraft as mobile homes by
Mxsmanic
I was thinking today, first about independent truck drivers, then about those
people who sell (almost) all they own and buy a huge RV. In the case of truck
drivers, they often have expensive, fancy rigs complete with bed, television,
and other amenities that make their trucks a kind of home away...

Aviation Movies? by
Dave Burton
Here is you chance to suggest movies to show at a fly-in. I'd
appreciate any suggestions for newer movies, available on DVD or video
tape. We've seen all the oldies. I've got to stick to PG films for
the most part since this will be visible to the CAP cadets and anyone
else still up after dark. ...

balance? I am flying a C182 with 430 pounds (pilot & passenger) in the
front row. The point is I would like both of us to sit up front for the
