This something I just found out. Maybe some of you already know about this. When we see the sun just above the horizon, it really is just below the horizon due to atmospheric refraction. For some reason I'm just stunned to find this out.:goofy:

I've never flown far enough in my nascent flying life to need to rent a car but I looked up enterprise.com and you can get little cars for $9.99 on weekends. There were a couple of options not too far from me to pick up but not all of them had that deal. Also, apparently that site will load a...

So the engine quit? If that happens I guess things start cooling down pretty quickly. Is there anything else to do besides keeping carb heat on and trying to restart? I did read some of that website (http://www.pilotfriend.com/training/flight_training/fxd_wing/carb_heat.htm) and it said to...

I bought one. Who wants to buy a low wing PA28 from me in July?:D

Thank you for your well written story Nate. I am sorry for your loss. I'll do an extra lap around the pattern for your dad.

we're all students. there are some that sit in front of the class and have all the answers too. they might know what they're talking about but I sit in the back. How would I know.

Wow, someone started (and has funded) a kickstarter project that will pay someone else to write something stupid in the sky. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/309790545/kurt-braunohlers-cloud-project?ref=NewsJan3113&utm_campaign=Jan31&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter

I had some mental problems with the throttle too. It seemed like pushing the throttle in was turning it off. You'll get better at things the more you understand the plane.

no one's called me today. maybe I gave them the wrong phone number.

Just wanted to say that I'm taking the coursera course in astronomy right now and I would have never known that the gold we have here on earth can only be formed from supernovae. I'm becoming an astronomy fan. As far as ground courses for PPL there are plenty already that work for the...

Bring in an airliner full of passengers for a low flyover. Can't be any more dangerous than flying over a bunch of people.

Can I borrow someone's plane for the trip? I'll wash it afterwards :)

I'm one and the same...pilotod/eyeflying. I thought when signing up I had to have two different id's. I fly out of Erie/KEIK, about a par 6 away from my house.

If a plane is turbulated by a gravity wave, that wave obviously had some force. Has anyone measured the force of these waves? Can they put a detector on planes...an accelerometer of some sort?

I should have put the whole thing down last night. I think my mind is clearing up a little this morning! One thing I noticed this morning, not to keep ranting...much....is that when in sectional mode and I have temp selected, the temps show by the airports. I can then touch the airport and...

Fine....I would just like to see "skeuomorphic" design. I can see what's in my earthbound flight bag but I can't tell what's in my foreflight. Oh well, thanks all. I'm downloading the "VFR" charts and hope I can find them in my foreflight flight bag. I ain't 80 years old but what the heck!

I dunno. Maybe I just don't read. I just migrated from i1000 to foreflight and wanted to add sectionals. I didn't see "sectionals" in the downloads section of foreflight but I saw "Fly Charts." What the hell are "Fly Charts?" Adding on...went to downloads again and there was the accidental...

It's about time she gets her own line :rolleyes2:

then this would work in an aircraft?

Sugar Land! You are ground zero for me. Borden's Premium Eggnog's around the corner. If I send you some funds that will pay for product, shipping and handling are you a willing participant?
