Captain asleep. Copilot playing Candy Crush. ATC wakes everyone up. I have flown Jet Airways one time from Delhi to Bangalore. Comfort for passengers is...well...budget carrier like. Would definitely not do it unless I had no other choice...

What flying/aircraft TV shows should I put on the DVR or download? Airplane Repo Dangerous Flights The Aviators (ITunes) Any others?

Was reading some maintenance blogs and came across an "Engine Saver Humidifer." It apparently provides positive dry air pressure into the breather tube of an engine, the logic being it replaces moist air with dry air. Anyone use one of these? Does it work? Seems it would be limited in...

I was flying back from Florida on a commercial flight (AA) back to Dallas. As there was a significant system brewing north on the panhandle, I was curious about the routing that the plane was going to fly and looked up the flight plan on Flightaware. I don't often do this, so I am sure I'm...

Saw this while checking METARs this afternoon on Foreflight on my iPhone. Maybe a formatting issue?

I am planning a cross-country flight next month headed west and thought I'd take some oxygen along for the ride. I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself though as I went ahead and bought a 9 cu medical cyl with a "CGA-870" valve. I am learning through this process though that there are...

Hi folks, Been reading these forums for a while. Decided to post a question as I decided to give myself a bit of a Christmas present and buy a plane. I made an accepted offer on a Glasair IIS here in Dallas, and am looking for some help to have it inspected. Completion of the purchase is...
