    Westchester NY - obstruction near ILS

    I had a look at Westchester Airport due to the recent crash and noticed a crazy building near the Runway 34 flightpath. It is noted as a Lighted Obstruction 3500ft from the end of the runway and offset 600ft to the side with a 37 to 1 angle. It is a tower, with a long possibly retractable pole...

    How to look after an aircraft

    I though some here might like this. I bumped into this 1300 page UK CAA document that describes in general many aircraft maintenance procedures. Obviously much of it is UK specific including some legals but it has what appears to me to be some really good stuff that will apply anywhere. Some of...
