I have two iPads and Foreflight works simultaneously on both of them, on the same account. I give one to the back-seat passenger(s) to monitor our progress on the map. I use that, and all the other functions on mine. Both do the updates, haven't had any problem. Another good selling point...

So we flew there on Thursday. I'd listened to the various online ATC feeds during the week (the weather was not going to change much) and saw that during VFR conditions ATC was assigning the Expressway Visual Runway 31 approach. Basically you fly to two very prominent fuel tanks in Queens, turn...

Thanks for the comments, they help. Will advise how it all turns out. - oldman

Have an upcoming Angel Flight mission into LaGuardia. PA32-301T. Never flew into anything like this before. Insights appreciated. - oldman

FSX is easy: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-X-Edition-Pc/dp/B001DPZE84/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337094444&sr=8-1 The controls are more difficult because so much depends on personal preference. CH tend to be the sturdiest and costliest, Saitek and others make more affordable...

Which is just what Collins said: "Such might be the case with Cirrus pilots. With training, advanced equipment, and a parachute, a pilot could develop a false sense of security about flying the airplane." - jkw

So are his statistics wrong? SR22s don't have "a higher fatal accident rate than most similar airplanes from other manufacturers?" - jkw

Maybe yes, maybe no. Depends on whether he's seen the video "How to do a barrel roll." - jkw (we hope that he read the magazine article, at least) (it appeared in "Mercenary" IIRC).

Both. It's why I don't have an iPad kneeboard mount. Please do a good job and create something that I can strap to my left knee and twirl the iPad around on, that doesn't stick up so much that I can't hold the yoke against the wind while I'm taxiing. - jkw (my 7th grade English teacher would...

Yus. 4 Gs and you say, "What, that was only 4 Gs?? Don't lie to me!" Still, pulling Gs in a GA aircraft with the assured comfort that probably you aren't exceeding the structural limits doesn't seem wise. - jkw

Oh, c'mon. You're talking cats here. They should be happy that the restaurant won't have a chance to turn them into stir-fry. Sad fact: Pets (yes, even cats) are personal property. You can dispose of them the same way you dispose of your old shoes (which, unlike cats, have at least served...

I have four of the David Clark H10-13.4s. I've always thought it was a fine headset, but it doesn't compare to any of the noise-cancelling headsets if you can afford one of those. - jkw

It isn't about macho at all. It's about good judgment. - jkw

That's just part of the manly process of teaching yourself an extreme sport. - jkw

I stand corrected. The applicable reg says: Unless each occupant of the aircraft is wearing an approved parachute, no pilot of a civil aircraft carrying any person (other than a crewmember) may execute any intentional maneuver that exceeds -- (1) A bank of 60 degrees relative to the horizon...

You're being unfair to the owner of the plane, who will have to go through a lot of trouble to recover the insurance proceeds. 14 CFR 91.307(c) requires you to wear a parachute if you try this, unless under 91.307(d)(2) you're with an instructor and pursuing a rating. Now that I look at it...

Thanks for that. Never knew what the court martial was all about, now I do. Also didn't know he'd written two other books. - jkw (off to Amazon.com)

Memory fades. I imagine I was just northeast of the HFD VOR, which would have been one of my waypoints on that flight. - jkw

A couple of years ago I was flying south of the Bradley Class C airspace, clearly in Class E and on VFR flight following. An airliner was essentially crossing my path on his approach. The controller instructed me to fly a heading 20 degrees to my right. If I'm understanding your...

Our man Adam received the county bar association's public service award today, for his work running the Angel Flight East circus and for donating bone marrow ("his own, I assume" said the presenter) to a needy person. This is a big county lawyer-wise, one of the largest in Pennsylvania, and...
