Pilots that have an iPhone can now add a seriously powerful new application to their phone that gives them access to a wide variety of flight planning and preparation information. ForeFlight Mobile 2
In a couple of days, I depart for Oshkosh. I'm going via aluminum tube vs. the Arrow this year. Not nearly as exciting but way more cost effective given a Left Coast departure.
I am going to visit my buddy in Canada in late August and I plan to do a four day tour around New York, Toronto and Ottawa in a hired Cessna 172 while I am there. I have the appropriate licences and
Yes, last week I decided to finish what I started: in this case, my Commercial rating. My CFI has rather rudely decided to go on vacation immediately after talking about it but by the end of August I
Geographically, Salt Lake City is quite amazing. On one side, mountains rise to over ten thousand
feet. They're literally right against the city: the north-south VFR route is called the mountain
I signed up for the EAA Rideshare to try to get somebody to ride along on my trip to Oshkosh. I got three people responding, and the two who gave their “preferred response” as phone, neit
Last Friday [ July 18th, 2008 ] was the first preparation class for the Cessna 152 I will be flying. The instructor handed out the Flight Manuals and Checklists we must study before the exam this next
Does anyone know what a fixed RNAV route is? There are only three defined in Canada:
T101: Firon, QC Intxn to Atuko, QC Intxn
T107:Wabush, NL VOR to Pekro, NL Intxn to Goose, NL VOR
T201:
My pal Ron Turner sent me these photos. They're snapshots that he's taken during his career and has generously allowed me to use here. Follow along as Ron journeys from Air New England to Piedmont A
Flying is fun - parts of it can be stressing. This post is about the top three stressing moments on my personal stress-o-meter. Feel free to comment about yours.

I'm just back online and going through all your comments and e-mails. One, with the subject line Aviation scholarship turned out to be not the usual desperate would-be student hoping I could co
On Saturday I flew, with two other club members, to Santa Barbara for a mass Angel Flight West command pilot orientation. I flew in Paul and Gina’s turbo-ch
I've been watching a Teaching Company series on Earth geology so that I can better understand geology on other planets. I'm not sure that I really needed to know that Yellowstone is 20-40,000 years l
This question comes from David:
How do you find an intersection that is off the airway your on without GPS/loran or a vector from ATC. For example, let’s say your over PXN (cental california)
It's easy to recognize inexperienced air traffic controllers on the radio, just as it's easy to recognize a student pilot on frequency because student pilots and controllers-in-training have a lot in
"The belief that reporters are trying to help Barack Obama win the fall campaign has grown by five percentage points over the past month." Gee, do you think? Plus this: "A separate survey released thi
They have the cable, so then they install it, and I can leave, right? Wrong. There's paperwork, about a half a day's worth, and the installation job turns out to be a lot more complex than replacing
Training starts today! After 16 long hours of driving yesterday and Saturday, I'm finally here and ready to roll with the first day. Its exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. All the guys that
I came across this video of a jungle landing and just had to share it. Unfortunately the quality isn't really good. Is that a dog on the runway or a trick of the light?
Do you know about side-step approaches ? The concept is easy to understand: it starts with a standard approach to a given runway, at least until breaking below the clouds base. Then comes the funny pa
Only one week to Oshkosh, and I’ve barely started getting ready. I think I need to write what I need so I can strike them out as they’re done.

Yesterday, I went to the Newseum in Washington DC. I had no pre-conceived notions about the museum and was pleasantly surprised at how many "artifacts" from recent events were stored inside. One of
I have no idea how long my flying buddy Roland and I have been talking about going to Castle Airport, but it's been a really long time, since well before my instrument checkride. Through my training,
The airplane should be leaving today, and the boss wants me to help with the work however I can. So I check out of the hotel and come to see what I can do, even though I'm fairly certain that "stay ou
This past week I decided to re-gain my night currency and get some more cross country time by planning a mini-tour of some airports I had been to before, and some that I had not. I also decided to ta
If everything goes well, and weather permitting, my next flight will take place in one month. As often, the plans change with time. The Bournemouth Guernsey leg is still on the roadmap, but another pr
Not really, of course. I prefer my Presidential Candidates to be principled. But now, instead of doing this, what are they calling it now... a pivot? (That's a nice way of saying flip-flop.)
Not much time to blog here at the moment, so I'll keep this short and well, short, anyway. I'm sure I'll have more to say later, but I've started working with
