    Citation vs Bird

    Interesting photos. I believe they suspect a Turkey Vulture, but aren't completely sure. http://www.txaa.org/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=1521

    Cockpit Placards

    Does anyone know if it's permissible to replace old, faded or missing cockpit placards and limitations cards by recreating them on a PC and some labels? For instance, I want to replace the plastic trim on the baggage door of my Cessna. On the old trim, there's a placard with the maximum...

    Info for GA Relief Flights

    For those of you folks intending to fly GA relief flights to the SE in the comming weeks: God Bless you and fly safely. I've already volunteered myself for next week, BUT! Decide before you takeoff with your buddies if you're going as a flight or not. We've already run into this problem...

    Battery Cables

    Anybody have any experience in making up new cables for Cessnas or similar? I have an (owner assisted) annual comming up next month, and I'm replacing the battery. Some of the original cables are looking pretty old. (1972 C-172) I can order a new set of Bogart (Bogert?) cables for around...

    Another headset ?

    Anybody got a suggestion for a passive headset for my wife? Will be used in a Skyhawk. She says the standard DCs and similar don't fit her well. She's 5' and small frame. $1000 ANRs need not apply.

    Aviation now and then...

    I have an old book of aviaton photos I picked up somewhere. It's called "Flight, A Pictorial History from the Wright Brothers to Supersonic" by John W.R. Taylor. Very Eurocentric, but lots of unusual photos. I was thumbing through it last night in bed. Anyway, photo 339 is of a pusher...

    F/A-18F breaks wire and ends up wet...

    Potentially nasty accident on the Kitty Hawk last week. My son heard a couple of the injuries were serious. Best wishes. http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=26917

    Tighten up that final!

    Just saw this photo the other day, pretty cool. Bet some of the Pax were a bit nervous though... http://www.airliners.net/open.file/652327/M/

    Nav/DP Question

    I'm a controller trying to figure out a problem which seems to crop up with CRJs from time to time. Please refer to the CENTEX 2 departure, http://www.airnav.com/depart?http://204.108.4.16/d-tpp/0501/00556CENTEX.PDF Now, take the Navasota transition for example. Normal ops used to be a...

    Avionics state of the art?

    Since the FAM program went bye-bye, and nobody's offering any free stick time in their G550s or GLEXs, I have a question regarding the current state of the art for Avionics nowadays. Specifically, what aircraft and/or systems will automatically load the correct altitudes and frequencies for...

    Coincidence?

    We just had our third CRJ2 land with no/reduced flaps in about 14 hours. S'up??

    A&P Market?

    Anybody know what the market is like for Corporate A&P mechanics right now? My son-in-law has 4 years exp working on mostly Challengers and Astras, but is thinking about a move. Is it hard to find good help? (He is good) Or is the market saturated with laid off folks? Thanks

    On a "Lighter" note

    I just visited the new Taylorcraft factory in La Grange, TX the other day. Very nice folks. For those who aren't aware, Taylorcraft is currently marketing four models, conventional gear or tricycle with either the Lycoming O-235 or O-360. I was told they finally worked out their PMA authority...

    You Make the Call

    Ok, I've got a little exercise for you folks who choose to participate. Suppose you're an Air Traffic Controller, working for the FAA, and you observe the following situations. Suppose further, that the Supervisor went home sick, and left YOU in charge of the shift. We'll also suppose this...

    Any Denton, TX area instructors here?

    Any Military IPs?

    I don't know how to word this so it doesn't sound like flame bait. It's not meant that way, but... Guys, does it ever occur to you that Fri eves are not the best time to arrive 6-8 in a group at a somewhat busy Air Carrier/corporate airport and ask for multiple approaches, circle to opposite...

    Things I wish Pilots Knew about ATC

    I've had this idea for a thread for some time, but didn't want it to come off the wrong way and sound like I'm simply b!tching or complaining. That's not the intent. They are just some things that come up again and again, and it's obvious that many pilots simply don't know or understand the...

    Alaska Flightseeing or Day Fishing?

    OK, here's the deal. My Dear Grandmother turns 90 this year. The family has decided that in celebration of said milestone, we're getting the whole family, Grandma, 2 sons, 7 Grandkids, and like 15 great-grandkids and a few stowaways, and Cruising from Seward to Vancouver this June. (Grandma...

    X-Country with an escort service!

    News Story Here Sooooo, You decide to take a little trip in the Commanche. Neglecting to check the NOTAMS, (or possibly even file a flight plan), you blast off towards Central Texas apparently without even a functioning radio or transponder. Somewhere along the way, (somewhere near...

    VFR or IFR?

    On a controller's board I frequent, a question has arisen about when or if an IFR flight becomes VFR. Without trying to prejudice anyone's answer, I'm curious what most pilots think. May be educational.... Situation: WX is VFR, an aircraft on an IFR training flight makes an instrument...
