The other day I was involved in a deep philosophical discussion (beer was involved, a copy of the FARS was not) with a couple of other pilots over the minimum amount of paper one was required to carry in an aircraft. As the conversation devolved, we were able to agree on a few things -...

My present is permission to start shopping for my (correction OUR :P) airplane, with the goal of purchasing soon after my wife completes her PPL. Caveats: I am not to look at tail-draggers or planes with canopies (don't ask why, I don't know & its non-negotiable) No Mooney's -- I know it's a...

For our 25th wedding anniversary, my wife wants (a) her PPL and (b) a motorcycle. I know something about the first, so no problem there, however I know nothing about the second other than to sign her up for a motorcycle safety course and buy her a top quality riding gear (helmet, gloves, jacket...

Came across this company (http://www.devonsuperstore.com/pulseox.aspx?gclid=CInjuM3d7JICFQ4JPQodx2JueQ ) that has several sub-$100 pulse oximeters. Other than being fairly bulky, is there any reason why their least expensive models (the 50-B or C-1) would not be suitable for checking O2-sat...

I walked away from my IFR Oral with a pink slip and a poor opinion of the Examiner (long story). My first attempt to reschedule was canceled when the plane lost the DG the day before the exam. I am currently trying to reschedule a second time and have run into the following problem: The...

I've the dubious pleasure of being in the LA area on business in January. On the plus side, my schedule allows me a free day and I was thinking of renting a plane out of SNA and doing some flight-seeing along the Anza-Borrego Sky Trail. Anyone have any suggestions as to the best route from SNA...

I know this is like asking if who wants my out of date sectionals, but ... My new Air Chart Atlases arrived today, so rather than toss my old ones, I was wondering if anyone would like an 04-05 VFR East, VFR West (or both) Air Chart Atlas? If you interested and willing to spring for the...
