It sure looks like something from science fiction movie. Here is my take on this kind of flying machines for average Joe wants to use it every day for commute or what ever use : no matter how much technology advances, laws of physics will always be the same. There will be accidents and...

How about going to the smaller airports and driving to where you are going? I have had great success accomplishing what i wanted to do by using smaller uncontrolled airports. I never go to class B airports unless I am flying an Angel flight when I do not pay a dime and still treated well. Other...

I have heard this word few times before and was thinking this would be some kind of texting lingo. Interesting. Thanks

What is Pponk?

The paint on my top cowling was peeling off quite a bit from heat etc. so its in paint shop with all metal stuff removed from it. . While I am doing that I thought may be I can get new hardware but can not find any source other than junk yard which I do not want it because existing ones are...

Just browsing around on TAP I noticed that these 2 airplanes with similar age , TT and engine time , asking prices for BOs are almost 100 K higher than Cirrus. Any particular reason why they are so much more expensive ? After all Cirrus has better speed and comfort and only thing BOs have is...

As someone said there is difference b/w cheap and dishonest. This guy was dishonest but many of us could be cheap from time to time ( careful with our money in other words ) . I do shop for cheap fuel and call them about landing fees etc and change destinations accordingly.

Hmmm! None of them took flight. I will call them a plane when it flies.

The reason I dont prop backward is because once I was told by my mechanic that doing so will damage vacuum pump

When I shut down the engine 3 bladded prop always come to stop facing the nose wheel and I always have to move the blade to attach the tow bar. Every time I touch that blade I always assume that engine will fire up and I am always prepared to jump back

You are right KATVE does not have hold but he used the term hold and I guess he just wanted to send me in that general direction to make way for airliner

Thanks Radar Contact The missed approach turn was possibly the reason for him not to clear me approach. Anyway he was quite professional and the hold was not exactly 10 minutes little shorter but it felt like it. They provide a frequency to cancel on the ground and I always cancel during the...

Thanks Radar Contact Thats insider information

If ATC privatization bill passes and if we are required to pay for the services we get, can we demand equal treatment form ATC ?

When I turn on my transponder ( GTX345 ) the N number of my airplane always shows up on the screen. So when I am in contact with ATC are they able to see my airplane ID attached to the plane on their screen ? or if I am not talking to them do they know which plane is that ?

Cant cancel IFR sky OVC007

On my last flight to home KXLL I was being vectored for RNAV 7 approach . I was planning on doing the full approach on my own but the controller offered to provide vectors so I accepted. As I got very close to the Dostr intersection and anticipating loc intercept any moment I was told that I...
