Why are turbos rare? by Mxsmanic
Why do turbocharged piston props seem to be so rare/unfavored? Don't they provide a substantial advantage over normally aspirated engines?

Steering on the taxiway by Mxsmanic
Is it better to use just the rudder or differential braking to turn on taxiways? I understand that steering mechanisms vary considerably from one aircraft to another, but I'm still curious. In this case, I'm wondering about a Baron 58, the aircraft I fly in my sim (most of the time). I note when...

Garmin 496 PIREP -- Navigating while Driving by Jay Honeck
Okay, so it's not quite aviation related, but we DID use the 496's capability today to navigate by road to Blakesburg -- the annual AAA (Antique Aircraft Association) fly-in. (Which was fantastic, by the way. It runs through the weekend, so I urge you to check it out!) This morning we were...

Sold out by IFR by Mike Rapoport
I used to subscribe to IFR until I realized that they offered a much better rate to new subscribers than to existing ones. After realizing this, my four year old decided to subscribe :-). Today he recieved a solicitation from another aviation magazine. Obviously they sold his (and my) name...

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...

Sean Tucker Oracle Airshow by Chris Colohan
I went out to the Wings Over Pittsburgh airshow yesterday, and I have to say that the most impressive performance was the Sean Tucker Oracle biplane act. (The Thunderbirds were impressive too, but super-annoying tackily-patriotic musical soundtrack really detracts from their act. The Thunderbird...

Constant speed prop question by Terence Wilson
In the course of trying to understand how a constant speed prop works I came across the following passage in one of the Jeppesen books: "If the throttle is advanced without decreasing the pitch of the prop blades to increase ___ rpm, the manifold pressure increases as the prop mechanism attempts...

Speaking of D.B. Cooper... by C J Campbell[_1_]
Seems some guy from Minnesota, Lyle Christansen, is convinced that his brother Kenny was D.B. Cooper. Kenny Christansen is in fact a dead ringer for Cooper, was an army paratrooper, bought a house in Buckley, WA, with cash that he never explained where it came from, and he worked for Northwest...

Spin Training by Captain Wubba
Hello. I'm finishing up my CFI training. My CFI and I went up in a 172 (certified for spins) and tried to get the plane to spin for my spin training. The airplane was loaded properly in the utility category. We could not get the airplane to enter a fully developed spin. It would enter the incipient...

Locate airports by radius from a given airport by Matt Whiting
Does anyone know of a good way to locate airports that are 200 miles or more from a given airport? I realize a large planning chart with a circle drawn would be easy, but I don't have one of those handy. I need to plan a 200 mile cross country for my commercial day/night long cross country and...

Testing the Testing of Mogas by Jay Honeck
Plop-plop, fizz-fizz... :-) In a previous thread I outlined the new (vastly more convenient) "alka-seltzer method" of testing your mogas for both ethanol and water -- but (for those who missed it) here it is again: 1. Tap a few ounces of suspect gas into a cup 2. Drop 1/4 of an alka-seltzer...
