If you fantasize about flying a T-38, wonder how the Air Force teaches instrument flying, or like to read memoranda that update superceded memoranda, check out the publications (in PDF format) available at: http://www.e-publishing.af.mil/ The most useful manual for those of us not in the...

It is, via the link to the FlightSim Network, and it's in my collection of links, which you can download via the link at the top of the page. It's also on the Community link on the official home page, which is also referenced on my page.

If you're tracing the Oregon Trail, I suggest a stop in Walla Walla, WA (the town they liked so much they named it twice). I went to college there in the late 1970s, and it's grown up considerably since then. Travel & Leisure magazine ran a feature in March about Walla^2 becoming the Napa...

I've had many intersting experiences with marshallers when taxiing in the Extra. As you may know, one solos from the rear seat of the Extra. From that position, you have zero visibility directly ahead while on the ground. When I taxi in to an FBO ramp, invariably the marshaller assumes a...

Check out Jay Hopkins' column in the June 2005 issue of Flying magazine. It's about how pilots of various background and experience use Microsoft Flight Simulator (and X-Plane, etc.) to complement their "real" flying and training. I wonder how many PoA regulars have similar experiences to...

The procedure for performing a rolling turn or rolling circle or "roller" is described in Advanced Aerobatics by Mike Goulian and Geza Szurovy (p. 82-85). It's a very difficult maneuver to perform well. Like patting your head and rubbing your tummy simultaneously. In effect, you end up...

I know I sound like a broken record at times...at times...at times, but I steer my Flight Review "students" to the free online publications and online courses at the AOPA Air Safety Foundation Web site. Reviewing Safety Advisors on airspace, operations at towered and non-towered airports, and...

The KLN 94 does have way to reset the map configuration (from page 3-44):NOTE: Each aeronautical item has a factory set default range value. To change an individual item to the default value place the cursor over the range field to the right of the desired item and press the [CLR] button. To...

Bendix/King's Web site is very clunky, but as others have noted, you can (eventually) find and download most user manuals, quick-reference cards, etc. in PDF format for most of the company's products. I've attached the KLN 94 Quick Reference; the full manual is available (if the Web site is...

The flight school where I instruct, Galvin Flying Services, equips all of its IFR aircraft with approach-certified GPS units. Granted, Galvin is the exception of schools overall, but it's fairly typical of larger operations (e.g., those with more than, say, 5 IFR aircraft). Most of such schools...

My next column for the GA News address this very topic. Look for it soon. In the meantime, if you're interested in the larger issue of "glass cockpits," you may want to check out my May 20 column in the same publication. It address the broad issue of how to get both pilots and instructors up to...

Mr. Link offers the following additional suggestions (once a technical writer/editor, always a technical writer/editor): The Microsoft Office Web site has a bunch of terrific resources, including free online courses, expanded help in the form of articles, how-to demos, and newsletter columns...

The pictures aren't mine. I received them from a friend who obviously found them somewhere in cyberspace. I have no idea about their origin.
