I do the same exact thing. I put the jug on a towel, so not to scratch the paint. Crack the air valve to let it flow. Continue preflighting for a couple of minutes. Put the next one on. Continue preflighting, etc. Easy. No pumps, no cables, no trailers, no siphon pumps needed. Easy as pie. I...

One thing that has bothered me is that CA seems to have lost the importance of having a network of airfields. Each airfield works to support the others. Thus, each time you lose one, it weakens the entire system. The survival of a single airport helps strengthen the entire system, and so it...

http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/4873163-181/cloverdale-airports-future-before-city?ref=newsletter&artslide=1 The council meeting is tomorrow Dec 8th. I hope the council sees the light and realizes the value of the airport. I didnt realize it was next to the Russian River. Sounds like a...

Thanks for the update. I appreciate the report and update. It sounds pretty good. Like you say, the biggest issue will just be who will hold the keys and hand them out. We dont have an FBO on the airport, so that will be an issue to figure out. Just starting the process for now. Thanks again!

Brad, how has your experience been. I would like to propose to the powers that be at our airport about something similar. We have two airports in our county. At one, Uber is probably the best. There are plenty of uber, lyft, etc. drivers already driving around. At the other more rural...

For one off, just take the CFI with you for a tour. You left seat, CFI right seat, her in the rear. You could let her fly left seat, but she wont be able to enjoy the flight as much. SCFC does this all the time. You can even do it in one of their several R22s and R44s...

http://www.shebleaviation.com/ Does anyone know if they are still in business? I have tried calling several times and email without replies. I guess the answer is obvious but just thought id ask here in case anyone has local info. Thanks, Jay

That steel cage makes it one of the strongest safest airframes out there in its class. Enuf said if you do any real sportsman type of flying.

What you may not realize is that Eddie was one of the hardest working people out there. This is not someone who would retire quietly on the golf course. He was still working building foundations and roads doing hard labor instead of hitting golfballs or on a cruise ship. Just the other day, i...

Excuse me? I take it you arent even in the bay area. Case in point: KOAK 030553Z 24010KT 10SM FEW015 SCT100 KHWD 030635Z AUTO 09004KT 10SM BKN026 KSQL 030635Z AUTO 00000KT 10SM CLR The internet, you get what you pay for.

Actually, IMHO i think SQL probably has the least amount of overcast and fog in the entire bay area due to its location and local geography. The east bay tends to get the fog first as the fog shoots eastward into Berkeley then splits north and/or south covering oakland, hayward and on south...

From SQL, it is a 1 mile walk to the caltrain station, a $5 ticket to the king station, then a $2 ticket on Muni to anywhere in the city. Hans at the pilot shop offers a limousine service. There are dedicated zipcars and Avis cars parked there a few weeks ago.

Can you point me to airports with just a VOR or LOC approach? The ones i have seen require DME and thus are VOR/DME or LOC/DME? IE, how would i determine the various decision points without GPS or DME? EG these are 2 nearby airports with ILS and thurs LOC approaches...

Could i do the IFR checkride with just a single SL-30 i wonder? No DME, ADF, or GPS. Precision approach would be ILS. 2 non-precision approaches would be what though?

Interesting thread. Here are my observations about my dog Bart. 1. He hates the groomer and the vet. I know this because when i drive him there, he will not get out of the car. I have to really coax/command him out. Any other location, it's an easy on and off. The strange thing is i live in a...

Exactly. It's not the vertical separation that was the issue. It was the mere few inches of horizontal separation to the tow cable that is the issue.

I think you still have some catching up to do. ;) Azle has had: 1 earthquake today 3 earthquakes in the past 7 days 4 earthquakes in the past month 6 earthquakes in the past year San Francisco has had: 1 earthquake today 5 earthquakes in the past 7 days 43 earthquakes in the...

He says he climbed to 17,000 ft. How are we supposed to avoid these guys? I imagine it is harder to see them than another airplane. Can controllers pick them up on radar?

The solution to the original post is to NOT let those developers build those houses in the first place. Yes, the buyer is ignorant and all that but don't let it get that far. Where was the airport association, airport managers, FAA and anybody involved with aviation at that airport when the...
