Loses engine, but not his nerve. I wish I could act like that when the "donkey quits". http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-03/pilot-makes-emergency-landing-in-light-aircraft/4931182

Google is celebrating Bessie Coleman's 125th birthday today with looping biplanes on its main search page. She was some cool chick!

To complement a parallel thread on animal transport, I wanted to mention my own experience flying Angel Flights this year. I prefer not to get into specifics of the missions, but I flew 6 of them this year, and enjoyed all of them, as in previous years. The patients and companions, as always...

Too scary to fly the airlines! :hairraise::hairraise::hairraise:

Does this have any potential for us flyboys/gals?

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/09/us/delta-flight-lands-at-air-force-base/index.html I have a rule that I always land on the extended magenta centerline of the designated runway at my destination, to avoid such issues. Don't the big boys do the same? Or are they too macho?

Got an email saying FAA is finally retiring the domestic flight plan form on Jan '17. It's all ICAO from now on... (Better figure out your equipment code by then.)

Cool bird. :)

Originally listed at $1.5B, $800M offer turned down, now on sale for only $155M. I am sure bargain hunters will be swarming... http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/council-votes-auction-historic-jersey-airport-37713390 The sad part is that it was a great little airport for a fun flight to AC...

Question to the ATC experts about best phraseology. Let's assume I am flying a Cessna Skymaster N6547C, VFR under flight advisories. This happened to me several times today, after a handoff to the next controller: Me: "Podunk Approach, Skymaster 6547C level 6500." Podunk: "47C Podunk, roger. Say...

A Skylane pilot/owner for years, plus other aerial pursuits. And yes, a few films on the side. Hard to be sure from seeing through the Hollywood lens, but he seemed like a nice guy. Condolences to his family and friends.

I have an idea for a feature that might be of interest to many here who are waiting on a new certificate (like myself currently). Instead of repeatedly hitting the IACRA site to get the latest update on our permanent ticket, it would be cool if somewhere near the top of the main POA forum page...

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/plane-crash-kills-students-colgate-university-33922201 "According to Federal Aviation Administration records, Depuy held a student pilot license issued in October 2013." I assume (hope) that's just a delay in the database update.

OK, we know that $130 ADS-B can be built with RTL-SDR USB dongle and a Raspberry Pi, connected to a tablet via WiFi. But we also know that you can connect the RTL-SDR directly (via OTG adapter) to an Android tablet (not sure about iPad) to display 1090 ADS-B traffic (e.g. see this app), e.g. on...

What next? :hairraise: :yikes:

I notice that SkyGuard is telling their customers that all their newer (post Aug. 1, 2015) portable ADS-B out units have been blessed by the FAA as clients, i.e. should elicit TIS-B replies from the ground stations. Their older units may be upgraded to the same standards by splitting the $100...
