    Light Sport Aircraft

    Re: Light Sport Aircraft - Icon They had one on display at the AOPA Convention last week. Speaking with the rep, I kept getting the feeling that the 139K is cast in aspic.

    Anyone using the new search engine?

    I tried it but found the results from searches were more worthless than Yahoo (if that's possible).

    Own Checklist?

    The problem with most checklists is that very few have an orderly sequence. You're taken from one side of the cockpit to the other and back again. I make sure that all items are transcribed to a list, then I sit in the pilot's seat and run through the list putting them in some semblance of...

    Rainbows

    Nice pix. Too bad non-pilots don't get to experience the sights that we do in everyday flying.

    Guys, where do you carry your medical cert?

    I purchased an insert for DayTimer Notebooks (5.5x8.5, 7 hole punch) and keep in my Jeppesen Book#1. My Jepps are kept in my flight case so I'm always good to go. I keep my FAA Certificates, current Medical Certificate, and some credit cards. The insert is designed to carry credit...

    ANR Upgrade Question for Joe W.

    I had the ANR upgrade installed on my David Clark H10-80. This particular model has one of the best specifications for passive noise reduction. With the addition of ANR, it has made a significant improvement in comfort. The only downside is that the power supply is an "either/or" situation...

    Angel Flight

    When I did Mission Orientations for AngelFlight West, some of the "newer" pilots did a better job of flying than some of the "more experienced" ones. If they want to insist on an experience level, I'd recommend at least 25 hours of x-c rather than 1 hour experience done 300 times. Links to...

    PA32 Lance- Call for Opinions

    I owned a T-tail Lance for many years and loved it. My only faults with the plane are: 1) Preflight inspection of the T-tail (I kept a 4-rung stepladder in the plane). 2) Forward CG with only front seats occupied (I kept a toolbox in the aft luggage area). 3) When we bought our plane, the...

    Angel Flights

    For Angel Flight West, there is the "Mission Assistant" (someone going on the flight to assist the pilot by looking after the needs of the passengers and, perhaps, help out as a "copilot")

    [NA] Toyota Highlander Hybrid?

    That's true, the Toyota Prius, for example uses Ni-MH, not Lead-Acid Batteries.

    [NA] Toyota Highlander Hybrid?

    I would also assume they aren't particularly environmentally friendly.

    Site down for Database update

    I've noticed that the POA Site has been going offline for database updates several times over the past week. It seems as if it's taken down at 9:00 PM Pacific time (midnight Eastern time) which seems a bit early for me. Any chance that the maintenance can be done a bit later in the evening?
