    Georgia Bill to Protect Private Airstrip Owners

    Lifted from Supercub.org. EAA announced today that a similar bill was passed in Wisconsin. If you live in Georgia, please contact your senators and ask them to support this bill.:

    The "Dr. Bruce" Project

    I put together this fairly long post with no small amount of trepidation. I have no desire to upset the apple cart, but the following post in the DVT thread got me to thinking: IIRC, Dr. Bruce has posited that any AME can do what he does, they just don't know how. The thought that came to me...

    Bonanza down in SE Georgia

    I looked around, but didn't see any discussion of this accident near Alma in SE Georgia. The FAA Preliminary report pretty much sums up everything that I could find online about this crash: Middle of the day; I guess that part of Georgia during August, T-storms could be an issue. Other than...

    AOPA articel - $49 CT Coronary Calcification Screening

    AOPA article - $49 CT Coronary Calcification Screening I must have missed the article which I suppose was in Pilot, but this popped up on BCP. The gist in that thread was finding this procedure for half the cost of that Saturday afternoon burger may be urban legend. What piqued my interest was...

    172 Down in Maine

    Apologies - just saw this thread is a duplicate. Reportedly struck a truck crossing the runway. RIP Edit - just looked at the sat photo on google maps. Runway 3 has a nice overrun area, but once you commit to the takeoff, the options are greatly reduced.

    Mooney question - what the heck is that?

    I will confess that I'm in the early stages of coveting an early manual gear M20C. Perusing the usual for sale sites and came across this specimen. I'm not that interested in this particular aircraft, but I'm often puzzled by the photos that some advertisers use. In particular, this one...

    FAA File Request

    Two weeks ago, I sent off an 8060-68 to OKC. I checked all three boxes even though I'm pretty sure there was nothing in the A/I/E file. Late last week, I received a response from "Aviation Data Systems Branch, AFS-620" only detailing the lack of any accident, incident or enforcement action in...

    Airpark Property

    So the lovely wife and I are driving home from church Sunday and we pass a small airpark along the way. I remark, "I hear there's a house for sale in there..." To my surprise, she says, "Let's have a look." Needing no further encouragement, we're soon walking around a vacant 3,000 sqft home on...

    Returning Pilot - Lots of Questions/OSA/SI

    Shortly after getting my PPSEL in the 90's, my employer transferred me from North Carolina to the Atlanta area. Larger mortgage, higher cost of living and two daughters shelved my recreational flying. Fast forward 15 years, the girls are grown, finances are better and I'm itching to get back in...
