    Sleeping in the cockpit

    I heard about a dude at Airnet this last summer was watching his inner eyelids a little too long. He finally decided he'd seen enough and opened em. Only to find out he'd overflown his destination by several miles. Ouch. It's a funny picture when you think about him snoozin away, cruisin' right...

    ALPA pro's and con's

    ALPA or not? I may choose a side here if and when I fly for Mr. Fatfingers and the Airlines, but until then I am just an observer trying to soak up all the little tid bits of information and the pro's and con's of being union or non. One thing I do observe, on this board and in person, is...

    Good AVIATION BOOKS for the home library

    I very highly recommend, The Don Sheldon Story: Wager With The Wind, by James Greiner. Don Sheldon is unbelievable, the things that guy can do with an airplane, wow. Pick it up you won't be dissapointed.

    Awesome PIREPS

    Pilot report from a Caravan driver after getting his behind kicked around in a storm just south of OMA tonight. Approach: Caravan *** did you want to issue a pilot report? Pilot: (almost a yell) Yeah, STAY THE HELL OUTTA THERE!!

    Very Important... Contact your senator.

    I agree completely. I can't even fathom how any fellow American pilot can agree with such nonsense. The lovely thing about GA in the USA is the freedome to fly whatever machine we want to, whenever and wherever we'd like. (Within the conservative guidelines already established of course) This...

    Pilots that surf

    Do whatever you'r little heart desires. I've been skateboarding, snowboarding and biking (bmx and downhill mt.) since I can remember and still do every day. I really want to move to the water and learn to surf but I havent had the chance. The only thing that concerns me a little with my extra...

    Simulated Problems While Instructing

    "don't know who you're ranting at/about, but no syllabus I've seen discusses opening the doors, landing without the airspeed indicator, simulating flight with jammed controls. Done in the right situation, they all seem like reasonable & useful demonstrations." "Where in any flight training...

    Simulated Problems While Instructing

    Instructors aren't there to "weed out retards"or cause a simple minded student enough confusion to have nightmares of killing himself and his beloved mentor. I've had some pretty horrible students in the past and I've been almost certain that some were more than just a little mentally...

    Thanks Eagleflip, yeah off the subject a little but I got a curious.

    Someone breaking into your cockpit...

    Wait one second here. Are you saying that once you've past 60 deg. you have no controle? That can't be right. There has been many a pilot who've been knocked upside down by turbulence weather it be wake, t-bangers, or CAT where the safest and best recovery option was to continue the roll all the...

    IFR remarks section

    Life Guard , for air ambulance flights. I've used "via radar vectors" when flying direct without any area navigation equipment.

    Someone breaking into your cockpit...

    Will a flying hard drive like an A-320 even "let you" roll? I guess it should. It's a perfectly coordinated manuever if you know what your doing.

    ACCURATE specs on aircraft

    For certain look at the Navajo and Chieftan. Best cabin class piston twin in my opinion. You can't argue with the hauling ability (weight and space) of the PA-31. The airplane is very pilot friendly and also a great intsrument and weather flying machine.

    Great aviation guotes

    Hey Hyper, great book huh? I've read it several times now and still pick it up every once and a while to hit a chapter or two. It's actually in my flight bag right now. That whole book is a good quote.

    instructor ratings Airman Fliht School

    Study every night and get the writtens out of the way. Don't let your instructor blow you off or postpone flights. If you don't get along with your instructor, get a new one. Just study hard, get the stuff done, and fly as often as possible. Remember what your paying and make sure to get your...

    Who says "Hi" in the terminal?

    ...those looks you get. Wearing cargo shorts, sandels, and a t-shirt. They're all sitting around waiting for the weather to pass as your just about to turn and burn. Not saying I'm a lifer but it's sometimes nice to know that the boxes don't give a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED**e

    if money were no object...

    Are we talking about a real world job here or just aimless fun? I guess you could have both huh. Mine would be flying Super Cub's and C-185's up on the glaciers in AK. Anyone ever read Wager With the Wind, the Don Sheldon story? Thats the book that sold me. He's been my hero since I was 12.
