    Flying Journal

    I've started to keep a journal of sorts about what I learn from my flying lessons and the overall experience. I figure that not only will it be nice to look back on, and a great way to solidify what I've learned, but in hearing talk of CFI training and people needing to remember back to how...

    Engine loss on takeoff

    Tonight was a pretty sobering experience for me. I borrowed my friend's digital camera to go to the airport to get some pictures of the flight line and such for my flying club, when a lady pulled up right beside me and asked if "that plane" was crashing, pointing to the edge of the airfield...

    Keg in a plane

    Random Question: Are there any rules against carrying an empty beer keg in a general aviation airplane? I'm not going into the reason now, but I was just wondering. Thanks.

    Health Problems???

    I'm looking to get a job as a line tech, but a friend told me that he wouldn't do it because he values his health too much to work around leaded gasoline like that. Is it really a problem? What are your thoughts and advice? Thanks a lot!

    Turbines, Turbofans, Turboprops, oh my!

    I'm having a hard time understanding the difference in engine types. I hear people talking about them, but sometimes I just get confused. Could someone simplify for me how turbine, turbofan, turbojet, and turboprop are related?

    Posters

    Anyone know where I can find a good selection of aviation posters? I've looked on those "we have every poster in the world" websites, but I can't find one that I really like. I saw one at my FBO in AHN that was an F-14 at sunrise on a carrier looking head on. I can't find it anywhere. Yall...

    International Airports

    What exactly makes an airport have the "International" tag? I am under the impression that it is international if it houses customs, but I just wanted to clarify. Thanks.

    Loss of electrical...

    At the flight school I fly from, the 172 that I fly keeps having problems with the voltage regulator, which causes a discharge, and an eventual loss of electrical. One of my friends took a flight and was actually getting excessive charge, and after reading a bit in the POH, he turned on more...

    Logbook in your flight bag

    I have a Jepp pro logbook and I'm looking to get a Cencal Yankee flight bag. Any of you know if the logbook fits in the flight bag? I will probably have to order the flight bag online, so I'd hate to have to send it back if the logbook doesn't fit. I do have a Cencal logbook cover as well...

    Flying Club Airplane

    Hi everyone, My flying club at school is beginning the battle of buying an airplane. We are a new club, and so fundraising is going to be harder than more established clubs, but we feel that we can do it. We are looking to buy a C-172. We of course can't get a brand new plane, hot off the...

    slips

    Alright...I've been hearing differently from different people. I hear that a forward slip should only be used in an emergency situation, except for training and stuff. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it shouldn't be used in the event that you are just high in an approach. That's what...

    college degree

    I am not majoring in anything aviation related in college, as my school doesn't offer any aviation programs, but before I decide on a major, I would like to know if there is a certain type of degree that airlines look for. Does it need to be a BS or science related? Would a Bachelor of Arts...

    POH

    Where's a good place (online or otherwise) to get a POH for a Warrior?

    Jetwash

    I was sitting on the viewing platform at PDK airport today, and there was a Challenger next to it pointing away, getting ready to taxi. I knew what was coming, so I hung out until it left. I don't think I'll ever get tired of that blast of jetwash when they start to taxi. How fast of a wind...

    Workin it

    I currently work a typical desk job: 8-5 M-F. I am trying to pay for my flight training and am thinking about getting a second job to work in the evenings and weekends when I am not flying. I inquired about a line tech job at PDK airport down the road from me. I'd like to work in aviation so...

    Networking

    I see a lot of posts where people are strongly reccommending networking and "knowing people." As a student pilot who obviously doesn't work in the aviation industry, how can I begin to make these connections? As it is, I chill out at the airport next to where I work on the viewing platform...

    Logbook/Checklist Question

    Hi Everyone, As you might have read earlier from my posts about my logbook, my perfectionist tendencies are shining through once more. I have two questions: 1. On the second or third page of my logbook, there is a page for "Flight proficiency and medical certificate history." There are six...

    Cirrus

    Hey guys, I was just wondering about what the general concensus is on the Cirrus. What ballpark figure price ranges do they fall in? I am not looking do buy one now, but to get some more information on it and the cost of it. I really like the plane, and I'll probably do some training in it...

    Medical Question

    Hi everyone. I'm going to get my medical done and I was wondering what class I should get. Originally, I was planning on getting a first class. Since I want to do this for a living, I might as well see if there is something that might flag me from getting it up front. However, I was thinking...

    How much is enough?

    I am working on my Private right now. For all of you with some flight time under your belt, I need some help. This summer, since school is out, I am doing as much training as my two jobs will allow. When college starts back in August, I plan on flying as much as I can. Do you have any...
