U.S. officials have an "indication" the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner may have crashed in the Indian Ocean and is moving the USS Kidd to the area to begin searching. "We have an indication the plane went down in the Indian Ocean," the senior official said. Translation - Our top secret...

Allegedly a fan? Straight from the Woody Hayes school of poor behavior.... SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen took a punch to the face outside CJ's Pub after gathering at the South Bend bar with teammates and family in the hours after Notre Dame's double-overtime loss to...

(x-post from Red board) New article on the AOPA site - VFR pilots who fly within 60 miles of the DCA VOR must be able to produce a completed training certificate for the online FAA ADIZ course, or suitable seminar after February 9, 2009. http://www.aopa.org/advocacy/article...80814adiz.html Greg

http://www.times-news.com/local/loca...053085308.html Oh man.....i hope I'm not about to join the ranks of knowing someone killed in a GA accident. Dave Summerfield is a Baltimore FSDO DPE who flies out of KCBE. I'm guessing a few folks on this board may know him or know of him. I've taken 4...

There is a new firmware download available for the Garmin 396 - effective May 12, 2006 - Version 3.20 Changes made from version 3.10 to 3.20: Improved reception of weather data. Improved terrain alerting when navigating a route using the Aviation In serial data protocol. Added density...

The decision was made. I opted to go with the GPSMap 396 with XM Weather and an AirGizmos Panel Dock. I had the avionics shop do the following: - Remove the R-50 Loran and antenna - Replace the Sigtronics intercom with a PS Engineering 1000II with isolate modes and music input - Move the stack...

As some of you are aware, I'm contemplating an avionics upgrade in my airplane. I currently have a GNS430 and want to add weather. An obvious choice would be for a panel mounted option - the MX20 with the GDL69 for XM weather. For portable - the GPS396 would work. However, as an east coast...

My partner and I want weather in the cockpit. One option would be to have a Garmin GDL69 and MX20 installed to integrate with the existing 430. Initial research tells me that this upgrade will run somewhere in the neighborhood of $20K (ouch). I want to try a Garmin 396 and semi-permanently...

While flying back from HPN early Sunday afternoon, I overheard the following call while monitoring 121.5 "..PAN PAN, NXXXX, a Cessna Skyhawk near Ellendale (sp?), NY, I'm @ 7,000 feet and climbing...I've entered instrument flying conditions..PAN PAN" I was was SW of Allentown at the time. A...

We're heading to Jones Beach on Friday afternoon the 10th to catch Don Henley and Stevie Nicks. Any preferences on ISP vs FRG? Right now, I'm leaning towards FRG since we're going to spend Saturday in Manhattan and it's closer. The TEC pref route from the Washington area would give me a...

Pilots @ KHEF (Manassas, VA) are currently paying $0.01 on the $100 in aircraft personal property taxes? Seems like a token amount. Two counties west in Winchester I've been paying $0.425 on the $100 for several years. Perhaps I should send my tax bill to AOPA with a letter of complaint...

I lost my friend today. Cancer of the liver and spleen. She was 8 1/2 years old and the best dog on the planet. She loved to fly, she loved to play, and she loved me. I miss her... http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342&stc=1

Be careful..the miss as depicited on the GPS isn't always the published miss. Case in point - LOC DME 23 approach at KCBE. At the MAP, put the GNS430 in 'SUSP' mode by pressing OBS for the missed. The GNS430 will report a 130 degree heading to KEYER. The published miss on the Plate is to...

Arrrgh...it's back. :confused: I'm taking the bird back to the avionics shop for the fourth time to fix an intermittent, infrequently recurring Mode C problem. Tonight, ATC reported that we were showing 10,300, when level at 3,300...7,000 high. This indicates a bad pin/wire somewhere...

Before this evenings flight, my 4th lesson, primary student casually tells me that a year ago, "I blew a .13"... after closing down a local watering hole with his buddies. He has not as yet applied for his medical, so I explained to him the process, 61.15, and the form he will have to complete...
