One occasionally sees a tongue in cheek reference to the title phenomenon while perusing Aviation Forums. Sort of an "inside Joke" type of thing. Apparently this is well enough known to merit an article about it in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pucker_factor Now it appears that some...

Over the weekend I noticed that the Google Home Page on my smartphone has changed. Gone is the familiar generally blank page containing a few frequently-used bookmarks. It has been replaced by a page containing multiple B.S. "News" stories - that do not interest me, and that I do not want shoved...

Quick question: Is Foreign Flight Training creditable toward a U.S. Certificate? My son is an off-and-on student pilot (mostly off, as he is working in a European country during the school year). Due to Coronavirus, he may be stuck over there (with time on his hands) this summer. So if he does...

Hello: I have the same problem reported by Crane Pilot on 9/28/15 - I am unable to add image files to a post. The options mentioned in the replies to his inquiry are simply not there. I did see "Advanced" once, and clicked on it, but nothing changed. I haven't been able to find it again...

I read somewhere that they were all gone - that Beech had bought them all back and destroyed them (due to liability concerns - about which they were not talking?). Not so!:) - one showed up today in Asheville. I looked it up on the FAA Registry, then did some research - which revealed that there...

Are there any members out there who are learning the ropes of the BK AV8OR GPS? I'm looking for comments and suggestions. I've got mine (no WX yet), and am gradually getting it arranged to suit myself. First flight I tried to use it without cracking the "manual" - and succeeded- but there was...
