Basin Harbor in Vermont?

I was in my 20s and lonely, ready to look into dating services (this was pre Internet) when a friend and sailing buddy invited me to go camping with some friends. One of the group was a girl he knew from college, who I had met briefly before. Mary's tent was already set up when we arrived...

I've owned seven airplanes, and not one had a POH. :eek:

AvareX works similarly, you can either search for waypoints (airports, navaids, or intersections) on the plan page, or select them on the map. AvareX is very much still a work in progress... they're trying to clean it up and remove some of the clutter and rarely used features of the old...

It's still in beta, but Avare X will be available for iStuff (and Windows!).

It would be more correct to say that excessive heat kills engines. You can't make an engine run cold, it's gonna heat up some, so you try to control it and pick a temperature where the engine components will be at their intended clearances after some amount of thermal expansion, and the oil has...

At one time, AA was pretty much the only game in town. Back then, most people were religious, or professed to be. Times have changed, but in this as in many other things the FAA is very slow to change with the times. There is no doubt that AA has helped many people quit drinking, but from...

So... you had a diagnosis of clinical depression but failed to disclose it on your initial medical application? One of the "have you ever" questions? You do realize that's a felony? Reading between the lines, I'm guessing your reacted badly or violently when you got yelled at for taking the...

:popcorn: 3 years later is hardly an "emergency".

If one goes the SP route, they can get the SP ticket in a more available airplane, then get the glider endorsement, never needing a medical. Yes, you don't need a medical for a PP-glider, but if you start in a powered plane as a PP candidate you need a medical to solo. Also SP "checkrides" and...

It opened on the Ides of March.

In a steady wind, yes. But I once made a 3 point landing in my Hatz on a gusty day, rolled a few feet, then found myself 10' up in the air again when a gust hit me, requiring a second landing. A wheel landing can be a better choice on a windy day. When you touch down on the main wheels only...

In this case I suspect it's not the journalist at fault: Looks like the Singapore TSIB is not the equal of the NTSB...

It will fly at 58 knots, but it won't maintain that 58 knots without power unless you get the nose down right now. If you touch tail first, that won't make the plane stall. What it will do is push the tail up (or rather, keep the tail from descending as the rest of the aircraft continues to...

My new plane, picking it up next week:

As a climb prop has less pitch than a cruise prop, you're going to get less thrust and thus airspeed at any given rpm. For any fixed pitch prop, there is one airspeed where it's most efficient. A cruise prop is optimized at cruise airspeed, and a climb prop at a somewhat slower airspeed...
