My vehicle was broken into a couple weeks ago, and I don't mind the $75 CD
player being taken, the butt-munch took my bag of flight gear!
In the bag were my (2) H10-13.4 headsets, kneeboard, charts, checklists,
LOGBOOK, and my medical certificate.  Luckily I had a fairly recent copy ...

What is that thing that the beginning of the active runway that has flashing
lights that flash sequentially toward the runway. I think it was about 4 or
5 lights. My instructor calls it a rabbit, but I can't find it anywhere in
the AIM. Whatever it is, is it listed in the AFD upon ...

I guess most of us have seen the games that come on DVDs and play on TV sets?
Stuff like "Grand Theft Auto"? Well, my stepson is addicted to them, mainly an
NBA basketball game. Are there any games out there that are aviation based?
Note that I am not talking about something for a ...

My partners and I are considering this preheater:

It's advantages seem to be that, unlike Tannis and other sump heaters, it's
not permanently attached to the airplane, and therefore doesn't require an

See announcement where they bought the European chopper for Bush vs

So it looks like they have slapped a TFR over the Greenbrier resort in West
Virginia for the entire freakin' weekend.  And this time, it's not even for
the president, or vice president, or even anyone in the executive branch.
From what I can gather, all that is happening is that a ...

Thanks to all who sent new additions and corrections.  I'm sorry I
wasn't able to respond to everyone personally, but every time I ask for
input like this I get swamped.  (This is a good thing!)

Our first annual last year increased our plane ownership cost by 50%
(engine overhaul, prop governor overhaul + few other big ticket
replacement parts + labor). When Rick and I tallied up all the things
we want our AP to do this year, it looked like we have to reach deep

At the last annual, we replaced the 3" scat tube in our 74 Cherokee 140
Cruiser that runs from the nose cowling to the carb air box. The old one
was getting tattered and had several small pinholes in it. It ran fine
all summer and fall. About 2 months ago, I went out to fly the ...

I am a member of AOPA and use their flight planning software, but it
is missing something.  It does not have any of the information from
the sectional charts... e.g towers, hills, landmarks etc.  IS there
any software that will perfrom the same functions as the AOPA flight

It seems a little strange when Havana Center says "Cleared to flight level
three zero zero". It seems a little strange going eastbound at FL 310. It
seems a little strange when Atlanta Center actually has a different altitude
available while going to O'Hare. It seems very strange ...

preliminary NTSB report is available for this accident.
