I guess it is considered a good idea to use one's own plane
for a BFR, since you're familiar with it, and want to scrub
out any bad habits that one has developed using it. But I'm
wondering about the legality.

I'm comtemplating a flight from Northern California to Southern
California.
Desination is not detemined, but candidates are Palm Springs,
Carlsbad, or even Van Nuys.

I have been trying to find an official source listing Lat/Lon for 'VFR
Reporting Points', specifically for Hawaii. I can see the flags on the
sectional but cannot locate the exact points for inclusion in my
flight planning program.

I have been a lurker on this newsgroup for a while now.  I am starting
ground school in a few days and  flying lessons next month.  I have
used all the posts on this newsgroup as an invaluable resource to get
started and make decisions concerning how to go about everything.  So

Lets say I'm instructing with my student. I have a commercial license,
a CFI certificate, and a 2nd class medical. On board with me all I
have is my medical certificate and my commercial card, I left my CFI
card at home.

I am a student,doing aircraft maintenence course.
I am confused with the aircraft fluid lines color codes used.

Can anybody please tell me where does one get information about wind speed
and more importantly about wind DIRECTION (for various altitudes)so that he
can use that information to flight plan.All i seem to find are wind charts
that do not accurately show the direction of the wind ...

(My info: brand new student pilot, haven't soloed yet.)
In another thread entitled "When asked about Instrument training what
do you tell students?" I see multiple mentions of people getting their
IFR ticket but not using it and so they get rusty.

So, where's the post solo write-up?
Some traditions must be upheld!!

Jay posed the question about how best to attract young people into
aviation, which is a very pertinent question if GA is to survive. As all
of us who make up the GA community get older and retire from GA, if
there isn't a cadre of new blood out here to replace us, the outlook for ...

In my last flying lesson, I actually managed to make a pretty decent
landing.  With my instructor's help, I have been trying to work at not
flying the airplane so much on approach.  I have a tendency to
overcontrol (imagine that), especially on my use of the rudder

Someone I know was saying that he knows for a fact that an ex-convict
cannot attend any type of flight school.  That didn't sound right to me.
I would think that *anyone* could attend flight school or some form of
flight training.  To further that thought, I figured if and when ...

When they refer to supplemental oxygen at cabin pressure altitudes, are
they referring to the indication on the altimeter in an unpressurized
aircraft or do they mean the calculated pressure altitude?
