    AOPA Expo - Tampa

    I am thinking of attending this year's AOPA Expo in Tampa. Has anyone been to previous Expo's? If so, I would appreciate any recommendations on attending. For me, it's about a 1-1/2 to 2 hour drive each way, plus $35 cost of admission. I am not cheap, just a flight instructor on a limited...

    Shuttle Re-entry

    Has anyone seen a shuttle re-entry, particularly at night? STS114 is scheduled back Monday morning at 4:46 am EDT. Just wondering what to expect or what to look for. The news stated there would be a sonic boom. I have not seen any TFRs yet for the re-entry time-frame either.

    Tachometer flip of the dial

    I have been posed this question, and have been unable to find an answer, so thought I would toss it out on Flightinfo. How many revolutions of the prop does it take for the tachometer time to move forward 1/10th?

    VFR Hold on Base Leg

    Today while entering the pattern, my student reported "Cessna 12345 left midfield downwind for RWY 30." Tower told the student to "continue downwind, hold on the base leg." This was the first I have heard this in an airplane. We have a lot of helicopter operations and they are often told to...

    English Language Determination

    I remember once seeing an FAA link to a site which lists the tests the FAA uses to determine if a pilot reads, writes, speaks and understands the English language. I have been searching again to no avail. Does anyone happen to have a site or place I can get this information? Thanks.

    Plane lands on Atlantic Blvd - JAX

    A single engine plane was forced to make an emergency landing on Atlantic Boulevard. No one was hurt in the landing. The pilot apparently put the plane down on a busy street during rush hour, did not touch a thing, no power lines, no traffic lights, no light posts. The cops towed the plane...

    Logging Landings as a CFI

    Logging landings... As I understand it, in order to log a landing, even as a CFI, I must be the sole manipulator of the controls. Per 61.57, I felt that even as a CFI, I have to be the sole manipulator of the controls on that landing, meaning in my interpretation if we are both on the controls...

    Flight Review in an Ultralight

    Anyone know of any restrictions on a CFI giving a flight review on an ultra-light experimental single engine land aircraft? Does the person giving the flight review need to have any kind of experimental aircraft ratings? Or is it just appropirately rated in the category and class?

    Fuel Quantity Indicators

    I seem to remember hearing that (on single-engine piston airplanes) that the fuel gauges, per the regulations, need to only read accurately when the tanks are empty. I cannot find the reg on this. Anyone hear of this or know which reg?

    CFII Logging Approaches

    Can a CFII log the instrument approaches which his/her students have shot? I know a CFII can log actual instrument time during the portion of the flight when in actual IMC. When can a CFII log the instrument approach? Is it any approach where the student went down to MDA or DA? Inside the...

    Steep Spiral PA-28-200R Gear Position?

    My commercial student and I have been practicing steep spirals in the Piper Arrow, getting him ready for his checkride. My question is gear up or gear down? We glide at 79 knots, prop full forward, yet I have not been able to find an answer on gear. My chief pilot recommends gear down as you...
