this just stinks... I haven't posted much lately because I've been trying to get my flying back up to speed after a landing incident late last year, now this... had my 2nd incident today while landing, and this time I'm thinking it's going to cause me to stop flying. Unfortunately this time I...

I just finished Grant's copy of The Killing Zone... who wants it next?

I finally got around to going through my pictures from the Indy Airshow. A couple goods ones of the Blue Angels. They aren't POTW worthy, but not bad consider I'm still using an old 2.1 MP Canon (I really need to upgrade). Also a couple pics of my girls enjoying the best type of food... Free...

it's supposed to be easier than a 172... agree? I've finally gotten some better consistency with landings in the 172's... my biggest issue was flaring too high... unfortunately I don't get to fly the 182 as much as I'd like (because of the cost, and only cost, since it's very rarely...

is AOPA only telling us part of the story or is the ATA just blatantly telling lies? http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/newsitems/2007/070706ata.html

this is kinda cute, http://www.andysairplanes.com/ Looks like the world premiere is at Oshkosh. I was hoping it was a TV show, but apparently it will be a set of DVD's for home or the classroom. EAA and AOPA are sponsors of it. Maybe they will also put some of the episodes on the website...

had an interesting day at the airport on Father's day. My family was in town, and this was the third time I've tried to take my mom and my nephew up in the air. The previous 2 times were scrubbed due to Wx. This looked to be the best opportunity with only a slight chance of convective activity...

I was working around the house yesterday, and heard a couple planes go over the house, which on a nice flying day isn't out the ordinary. I heard one that sounded different, the engine noises were changing as if somebody was doing quick climbs and descends or something, and it seemed farther...

hopefully this thread doesn't last as long as the Pattern Entry thread, but here goes... You are at a Class B, C or D primary airport and departing on Runway 36, but you will be leaving the area to the south. For the purposes of this scenario, assume VFR and if you received a clearance it...

we've got tickets for the Cubs game on Memorial day... as much as it pains me to spend any of my $$ in Duh Mare's city, I simply have to see the Cubs play this year, and it will be both of my daughters first game as Wrigley. Here is my issue. I would love to fly, in lieu of a 3.5 hour drive...

do you or would you? My wife and I are looking at some land right near my home airport, KMQJ. It looks like the lot may be right outside the pattern, near the Downwind to Base turn. I like the idea of being that close to the airport and will enjoy the periodic drone of the local a/c... the...

today was perfect day for flying in Central Indiana, temps were in the high 50's F, winds pretty light (7-8 from the South), Sky clear. So I scheduled a plane to work on some landings before a long X-C I'm planning for Sunday. After working with my Instructor (before he left for the airlines)...

so there I was, on Downwind for Landing on Runway 25 at KMQJ while working on cleaning up my landings yesterday, when I hear a Hawker call out a 5 mile left base for 25. Ok, that's interesting, I thought. At that point I was ready to turn base, so I did and the Hawker noted he didn't see me. I...

For now, I'm content to continue renting, but at some point, I'm hoping to either purchase an plane on my own, or as part of a partnership. At what point did plane's start coming with shoulder restraint seatbelts as opposed to just lap belts? Was it different by manufacturer? For next 4...

closed.... even though I lived in Muncie for 5+ years and have flown up there several times, I never made it there... but I heard it was really good. bummer.. http://www.thestarpress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070103/NEWS01/701030304

I'm considering making my first trip into a Class C airport tomorrow, and I'm considering Ft. Wayne Intl (KFWA). I think I'm pretty comfortable with the proper way to arrive and depart. Any tips from first experiences into a Class C airport? Any thoughts on KFWA for those that have been...

I've got a business trip coming up, and would prefer to fly rather than drive. The previous time I made this trip, I made the mistake of asking if it was ok if I flew (and the answer was a definitive NO), rather than just doing it and expensing the mileage. What's been everyone's experience in...

Hi all... I've been reading the board for awhile, and find lots of good info. I have a question that I'm hoping somebody can steer me in the right direction to finding the answer. In regards to MTR's, how do you find out when the normal hours of operation are? When I got Wx briefing...
