Word floating around amongst FAA controllers some type of
major job action will occur 6/17 resulting in major delays
and shutdowns within America regarding the movement of air
traffic

Spread the word urgently, repost this to all your friends
and enemies too , no soldier will ever look the same again  once you
hear what they are really like and the way they can lie for 40 years,
you will never ever believe them after listening to the lies they used

Doing touch-and-gos last weekend I flared on landing and ballooned
more than I expected.  I realized that I didn't have the throttle 100%
out and was consequently carrying more power than I would have
normally been.  Like a doofus, I went ahead and pulled power out all

I was wondering   a cessna 152  takest  abaut 20 liter  per houer  full
power  for 100 horsepower  with  a very  big engine size
now if  you take    a honda pan european   st 1100 this  engine  is little
and  takes  about 10 liters  for  full power  and  100 hosepower

I have never been able to find out how TCAS works and I've asked several
people.  Today I tried Wikipedia and a couple of other websites, they were
no help on the subject.
It's my belief that TCAS is not a radar system.

Just a few lines to let you know that if for any reason you student
pilots and the pilots and instructors who frequent this Usenet forum and
have devoted their time and effort freely attempting to make aviation
safer and educational wish to explore an alternative venue forum that ...

I'm sure this has been hashed over more than a few times, but I'm new to
this n-g, I haven't seen or heard it discussed anywhere, and I am
considering going flying again (after 50 years on feet and wheels), and my
question is:

Suddenly this make no sense to me.
In calm air, run an engine up to 1700 RPM and measure the airflow behind

AVIATION FIRST
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
White Caucasian Men invented flight?
White Caucasian Men crossed the Atlantic solo first?

I was wondering the easiest and most simple way to explain the
difference between the two.  I have read the PTS review on each
subject and asked a couple of mechanics it still looks like they are
almost the same thing.

I know there have been discussions before, but nothing turned up right
away in my searches.  Can someone explain the differences between
Sigtronics S-20, S-40, and S-45.  It looks like to me the performance
specs are roughly equal on them all.

Just thought I'd post to say I passed my Skills Test yesterday! Just got to
get all the paperwork sent to the CAA so I can get my license back, and
start thinking about who my first victim (sorry, passenger) is going to be!
Thanks to all for the good advice I've received here over ...

is there a rule of thumb to make this conversion?  If my alt is 10k,
temp is 0 c , IAS is 115...how would i get this to TAS ?

This is a good review comparing FSX with Xplane9.

Xplane9 maybe good for experienced pilots and designers but FSX is
better for beginning pilots or novices.
