Hey all, I don't hang around here much anymore, something about work being super busy, but I have a question that I'm hoping someone here may have some insight into. I have your standard David Clark headset right now, but I'm planning to upgrade to ANR once I get my CFI, or perhaps sooner due...

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've posted here (been lurking more since life got crazy in the last year or so while I finished up school), but I figured I'd ask the brain trust about rental options in the New York City area. I just passed my instrument checkride last week (yay!) and am...

Just when you thought there were no more new (aviation-related) questions we could debate here, I've got a bit of an oddball. Do the US stadium TFRs reach over into Canada? I was hoping to lead a group of four planes on a flight over the Detroit River and downtown Detroit, but alas, there's...

Hi all, I posted a while ago about being in Cincinnati this summer and looking at my options, but now that I'm actually here, I figured I'd start a new thread to ask a few more specific questions in hopes of getting some local insight. A bit about what I want--I know I want to rent two and...

Hi all, It looks like I'll be in the Cincinnati area working for GE Aviation this summer. I'm looking to burn holes in the sky and quite possibly get an instrument rating. It looks like GE Aviation appears to be located more or less north of downtown (Lincoln Heights maybe?), so something...

Air Asia to Singapore, apparently confirmed by the airline: https://www.facebook.com/notes/airasia/news-update-airasia-indonesia-flight-qz8501/10152667738358742 A couple of news articles: http://news.sky.com/story/1398597/contact-lost-with-airasia-flight-to-singapore...

A friend showed me this today. Pretty cool! For the ATCers here in particular, what do you think of it? http://zlsa.github.io/atc/

18/36. There are 1,919 of them in the US. ...so I was bored. Sue me.

Hey all! I had an interesting experience with ATC and was hoping ATC types and pilots who fly in this area more often than I do might be able to shed some light on the situation. First the backstory. I went flying in a group of five planes on Sunday from Ann Arbor ARB to Coldwater OEB for...

Hey all! To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Aerospace Engineering department at the University of Michigan, there will be a pretty awesome set of flyovers over the Big House before tomorrow's football game against Utah. I unfortunately don't have tickets to the game, but I'm planning to...

Not much info so far other than that a Malaysia 777 went down over Ukraine enroute AMS-KUL. It apparently hadn't reached Russian airspace yet. According to Interfax, a Russian non-governmental news agency, it was shot down, but I'm not sure how reliable that information is...

I've been flying for nearly three years now. First year as a sport pilot, then private for the next (nearly) two. So now I get to decide what to do for my first BFR! It's due in August, so I have some time, but I'm going to be out of the country not flying for eight weeks starting this...

I'm flying there tomorrow, and nobody seems to answer the phone. I've gotten them once in the few days I've been trying and made the mistake of not asking all my questions. Anyone been there and know which parking area to use? And/or any other helpful information? Thanks!

I'm going to be doing a flight tomorrow JYO - GAI - VPONX - VPOOP - W29 and back again. I've flown the VPONX - VPOOP corridor probably 5 or 6 times, and I've always suck with the altitudes on the back of the TAC (1500 eastbound, 2000 westbound). But it seems like the rest of the traffic...

Oops. [

Bragging rights to whoever spots the...uh...issue first!

This happened back in 2009 so it may (probably?) have been posted, but I wasn't around here for it. But seriously, how does this kind of thing happen? The extent of my retract time is bumming a ride in a Bonanza, but with checklists and and a seriously loud aural warning, I can't quite...

Ethiopian 702 was hijacked and just landed in Geneva. From what I can find, the hijacker was seeking asylum. There's no official information as of now except that there was a military escort and that the plane landed safely after holding for a long time. They were fuel critical and there were...

Well, according to the local DC news station. http://www.wtop.com/41/3555284/FAA-investigates-metal-piece-that-strikes-Va-home There's a video at the bottom of the article that has some shots of this mystery object. It looks like a big 'ol funky-looking bolt, but someone here might have a...

At some point while I'm in Michigan, I'd love to do a flight down (or up) the Detroit River and over Detroit. Has anyone here done this before? Any advice? We'd be coming in from the West and making a big 180 (and maybe making a stop at ONZ) before departing back to the West. A couple things...
