http://bit.ly/1nPpc8E Two people were killed early Saturday in the crash of a Cessna 150 Adams County, an FAA official says. The names of the victims have not been released. The aircraft took off just after midnight from Front Range Airport in Adams County. An FAA duty officer said...

Quick question...and I've yet to finish my I.R. so perhaps this is putting the cart before the horse. Is it possible to enter a Class B VFR over a layer, where the controlling facilities are reporting IFR conditions? My general understanding is that when the controlling facility is below...

Seems SkyVector.com has the "new" digital-origin sectionals and TAC charts online, as opposed to the scanned versions. I'd imagine these will roll out to the EFB products soon. They look great!

Hey all- I'm in Atlanta for the holidays and am renting a plane tomorrow at PDK. I am taking up the girlfriend and two young cousins. Any suggestions of scenic/must-do things to see from the air or places to fly? I'm planning a quick 1hr flight, and definitely want to check out Stone Mountain...

Came across this on NYCAviation's Twitter feed and found it pretty neat. Nasty precip!

Wow...I understand ferry tanks etc and have read all about flying 172s from CA to Hawaii, but this is unreal: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N6ZQ/history/20130301/0400ZZ/PGUM/KJAX 8,113 miles, filed 180kts. 45 hours in the air. Seems this isn't just a FlightAware error...

In light of the recent Cherokee ditching in the Hudson, I'm wondering what the thoughts are toward carrying life jackets on board when out of gliding range of land (or a suitable place to land). Most of my flying is around the Northeast, and the water is pretty chilly here. I've done a few...

Didn't see this anywhere else: http://www.elsalvador.com/mwedh/nota/nota_completa.asp?idCat=47654&idArt=7625045 Google Translate: "A small plane made an emergency landing this afternoon at the track 3 Ilopango Airport, said the armed forces. The military institution is said that the...

I'm thinking about starting an instrument rating, and have been trying to find iPad -based software but haven't found any solid apps. This thread http://www.pilotsofamerica.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47534 has some ideas but none seem to be good self contained apps, Internet not needed, with...

Edit: whoops, didn't see this was posted in a different category already I haven't yet started my I.R. but I came across this on PPRuNe and found it fascinating. A Lear 45 clipped trees on a GPS approach, while flying the improperly designed procedure precisely...

Apologies if there's already a thread for this...I didn't notice it and I'm a rookie to the Air Venture sub-forum. I've been tempted to go to Oshkosh for awhile, and it seems like this year it's actually a possibility. It's definitely late notice, but I'm hoping I can make it work. 1. Is...

I saw that a few days ago Garmin updated Pilot My-Cast to now being called "Garmin Pilot", and it's version 4.0. I'm a ForeFlight user (tried WingX but didn't enjoy the experience), but the new Garmin product looks pretty slick. Pricing is comparable to ForeFlight, however it's possible to...
