Covering all bets...... On the Western Front... Allied forces attempt to link up the beachheads. Gold and Juno beach are already joined. Elements of US 7th Corps, on Utah beach, attempts to link up with the paratroops of 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions and advances toward Carentan and...

I'm a very proud former member of the 82nd Airborne Division and I've changed my avatar to honor those members both past and present. Way back when, I met with some former jumpers at an 82nd Airborne Division convention who wore the All American patch during World War II and participated in the...

Oh my...life will never be the same. :D

I have one in my Mooney 252. While it doesn't have all the functionality of even the most basic panel mount GPS, it is IFR certified and is very easy to use. I like it a bunch for what I use it for.

The people in the first picture are; from right to left: Me :redface: ; Tom my instructor, with the back to the camera, the FAA examiner and 17 y/o Kevin, Tom's other student. Tom's is signing my logbook checkride endorsement. That DPE is Guy Veilleux! He and I worked for the same flying...

Gents, Congrats on your assignments. Best of luck to you both.

Mari, Ill trade you a couple of those uparmored bunnies we've got around here for your new outdoor "kitty".

Folks, Don't know if anyone here ever checks the www.faa.gov website for anything but preliminary info on wrecks but this appeared this AM. http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aviation/instrument_procedures_handbook/ It's new, it's free and it's great info if you are in the least bit...

Roughly six hours after I got my PPL, I moved to Germany. I promptly joined the local flying club and pressed on with seeing Europe from the air. Anyone ever been to Europe? While VFR has been known to exist, it isn't the natural state there and I spent a lot of time going nowhere. Anyway, when...

The Aurora is not the aircraft that the aliens promised us. The cloaking device and the hyperdrive are totally incompatable. You can have one but not the other. Entering the pattern is almost impossible except for a long straight-in. The adaptive communication system still adds "any traffic...

Happy Birthday Bob. Here's wishing you continued health and good fortune! :wineglass: John

Good job!

It's very possible that the Japanese and the Indians use our system but they are not heavily invested in RNAV to the point where they want the control that the Euros need. I always wondered why Europe was so adament against RNAV (GPS) for other than enroute. This article and the course I...

They say equivalent but they don't say compatable and that's a huge part of the issue. The Euros haven't jumped on NAVSTAR largely because they cannot control it's availability (or should I say non-availability) as long as it's controlled by our military. Can you really blame them? It's going to...

Saw this bit of news this morning. Looks like the Europeans are proceeding directly to WAAS. Kind of interesting as there has been very little space based approach interest in Europe with all the focus being the enroute structure. Anyway, if you are interested in this stuff.....couldn't get the...

It's true! The Citation really does fly sloooooooooow. In fact, it's the only jet aircraft with an integral bird strike kit mounted on the tail. The Hawker 800 however.........:D

Dave, you're close. 400 feet....start your turn UNLESS as in this case we have non standard departure minimums requiring us to either have the see and avoid viz or a required climb gradient to an altitude. Careful on delaying those turns too.....DP traps are designed to give you obstacle...

It's no worse than a lot of SIAPs. People mess it up when they read what they want to read or somehow think the rules don't really apply to them. Those laws of physics are pretty much immutable. Like I tell folks all the time...please read the chart completely and fly it like it was charted.

Fly it? Ha....Dave, I approved it.

Yes, you need a functioning marker beacon reciever....and the marker transmitter needs to work as well. Watch the climb gradients too. While folks tend to target fixate on the "it only applies to Part 135/121", rocks don't care what CFR you fly under. I like this approach a bunch.
