The thread "Any Spins Lately" made me wonder. If an instructor does not teach spin recovery, is it worthwhile to find someone that teaches spin recovery and take a few lessons before the first solo. If not, then when would be a good time to do upset and spin recovery training. Before my first...

There I was, flying along fat dumb and happy. I punch the mike button: "Auburn Traffic, Fly Baby 848 turning downwind for touch-and-go." A voice comes up: "Fly Baby, you violated Class B Airspace!" It took me a bit aback. My home field is ~2-3 miles away from a ground-level extension of the...

From the Cessna Pilots Ass'n avionics forum: "Just talked to Tom Engberg at Cessna about G1000 WAAS upgrade. He said that Cessna was waiting on Garmin to propose an upgrade to the pre 07 G1000s. He also said that it was going to take a change in the GIAs and that would be very expensive. This...

Literally! The in-laws live out in Chandler, AZ. Each summer they escape the heat by taking their 5th wheel and heading to cooler parts. We'll normally fly the kids out to wherever they happen to be so they can spend a few weeks with Grandma and Grandpa. A few weeks later we fly out to wherever...

Announced on 8pm UK news -- Keith

I can't imagine that this hasn't been discussed but I didn't find anything in my search. I've been ignoring it since it specifically says "NON CIVILIAN GPS." But, this just seems so weird. !GPS 04/036 ZAU NON CIVILIAN GPS MAY BE UNREL OR UNAVBL WITHIN A 240 NM RADIUS OF 420153N/913847W AT FL400...

Friend sent me pictures of restored Ford Tri-Motor. What appears to be a mid-30's manual transmission shift lever is mounted between the pilot and copilot's seats. He asked if I knew what it was for and I'll admit, I'm a geezer but not that old. I haven't got a clue. Anybody out there that...

Hey, all. I'm looking for a bit of wisdom here. Background is, I'm a system administrator whose job just dissolved in a corporate buyout and, after being promised that if I came over I'd keep my salary and title, I was sleazed into a 30% paycut (given a single day to either sign it or hit the...

I'm considering going to Heritage Flight Academy on Long Island for their "finish up program" Private Pilot license. Has anybody had any experience with this flight school?

I am contemplating buying an airplane mostly for business trips, but I know a 172 or something like that will not stand the test of time since I frequently travel to Wichita and the headwinds are brutal sometimes. I have been thinking about a Mooney or Bonanza but I wonder if I am setting myself...

Seems very strange to me that a company most noted for their consumer audio products would make a headset that doesn't have a plug to allow your to hook in your iPod/MP3 player or cellphone. I bought a pair of the Bose X and just assumed that would be there... what a disappointment.

Thursday (8/30/07) the Diane Rehm show had an interesting discussion on airline delays and the NAS. Several perspectives were offered from ATCs, pilots, airline managers and others. Interestingly, most were saying that GA was not a cause of airline delays, which was somewhat refreshing...

In another thread I am in a discussion on radar capability for FAA "Centers". My recollection is that they typically have no primary radar, thus no capability to paint weather. Someone is telling me they do. Anybody out there have the answer. Maybe some do and some don't, and the ones I used...

Hey guys, I am a presolo guy, about 11 hours now and getting close to solo. While studying tonight I couldn\'t really figure out the difference between magnetic/true course and magnetic/true bearing. So as far as I understand it, bearing is a referenced heading to somewhere you want to go, for...

So, I was flying from my home base at York, PA today and saw a huge TFR around Washinton on my 496. What the heck is that, I'm thinking? It goes all the way out the HGR and nearly up to THV. Harrisburg Approach didn't know anything about it, and a Cirrus who was on the freq at the time reported...

Hello, New to aviation and I would like to know how to submit a NOTAM. I plan to launch an unmanned free balloon a few months from now with a payload of scientific instruments weighing less than 4lbs. The projected flight-path will take the balloon only through CLASS G and A airspace (and maybe...
