Weather was clear yesterday, what went wrong? https://www.wmtw.com/article/multiple-agencies-responding-plane-crash-litchfield/44882612 https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/WIG634/history/20230822/2130ZZ/KLEW/ME6 Wiggins is the local FedEx connection.

If it is good enough for Cessna, it is good enough for Boeing. NASA and Boeing are working on the Sustainable Flight Demonstrator (SFD) project, which aims to produce a full-scale Transonic Truss-Braced Wing (TTBW) demonstrator airplane that consumes less fuel and lowers emissions by 30% versus...

Looks like Embry-Riddle is getting out before the hurricane. Long stream of their aircraft in line. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/ERU885

Recently I have noticed my EdoAir artificial horizon has developed ED. It has become VERY slow to erect and tumbles and wobbles for 10 - 15 minutes before it is stable. It is the input for the Century 41 autopilot which (still) works very well. I am debating the install of dual Garmin G5's to...

How to enter "Configuration Mode" on a Bendix King KT 24 transponder? I need to check and possibly change some communication parameters.

After reading a post last week about a Garmin 430W to Avidyne IDF 440 upgrade I was very interested in learning more. Then I spent all week researching all I could find on the Avidyne IDF 440. I downloaded the iPad sim and went through the online tutorials. It appears that there lot of happy...

Always wanted to take off and fly around the lower 48 states. Land at least once in every state. Took off yesterday headed to Florida, stopped in Westerly, Rhode Island. Dooney Aviation was a great FBO. Check off RI. Flew west and down the Hudson Exclusion, not the best visibility, but we were...

After many years and many CFI hours it happened, a student practicing TO & LNDs hit a snow bank on roll out which caused an accident. No injuries, but airplane damage. I know "Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing." , but it is different when you are personally involved. Are...

Any landing you can walk away from is an OK landing. https://foxbangor.com/news/item/emergency-plane-landing-under-investigation/

Thinking of adding a ASES rating. But, looking at the cost of a ASES aircraft, I wonder if I will ever have a real need for the ASES rating after I get it. Not many FBOs will rent a ASES. One of the reasons I considered this is I won't need a flight review this year. How many pilots out there...

At $150,000.00 this is a pretty expensive 10 second ride! Hoverbike has met all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements and can be purchased for a whopping $150,000 and doesn't need a license to operate.

A question for POAs who have been there done that. A friend is a former P3 driver, probably flew single engine during initial flight training. What does it take to get FAA Commercial certificate with ASEL? Just an 8710 or is a practical test in ASEL required? I'm a little confused with 61.73.

Does Airforce 1 or Marine 1 ever squawk a code?

I normally keep my KX165 Com2 set to 122.8 / ATIS standby. Yesterday when I turned it on the display was showing 131.9. and if I tried to select another frequency it would go from 131.1 to 139.9. I turned it off and back on and it worked OK. Is this a failure waiting to happen? Anyone ever have...

For the old timers out there who still use a physical logbook. Is there a preferred logbook that is best for a particular pilot. ie. Student, Private, Commercial, CFI, ATP? Some have a column for ”Solo”, “Instruction Given”, blank columns, pages in the back for endorsements. What is important...

Following the thread on "Plane down in Mississippi-Sad" and started to think, how many CFI's out there teach Touch & Go's and if so under what conditions? Personally, I do not. If at a controlled airport with 5K+ runway I will ask for the Option (Go Around, or Stop and Go, or taxi back). What...

Has anyone taken an Elite flight to Oshkosh? I believe they started flights last year, but I an not sure. https://res.eliteairways.net/

Just did an "Downloads" update with FltPlan Go and all my approach procedures disappeared! Anyone have a similar problem?
