Killing fields

By General Aviation News Staff · October 6, 2005 ·

I picked up the September issue of The Southern Aviator while awaiting fuel at the Rowan County Airport only to find a special section on killing for sport. I looked to make sure I wasn”t reading Southern Redneck instead. The article on page 18 “One bad apple can ruin an airport” was indeed an appropriate […]

Expect to keep a closer eye on the weather

By Charles Spence · September 23, 2005 ·

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pilots may have to study more weather and show proficiency in flying by reference only to instruments during a biennial flight review if recommendations made by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are adopted by the FAA. Results of a study of weather-related accidents indicates a need for better testing of pilots, […]

One sky, one voice

By Janice Wood · September 23, 2005 ·

It is all one sky. No matter how you use it, or what your involvement with it, all of aviation’s many segments fly through or in some way make use of the same sky. The implication, then, is that all of us – private pilots, airlines, business aircraft owners, agricultural services, fuel companies, weather services […]

Paradise Lost

By General Aviation News Staff · September 23, 2005 ·

Thank you for the article discussing homeowner associations (Are homeowners’ associations a good idea, a necessary evil or a power grab? July 22 issue). Certainly there are situations, as discussed in the article, where HOAs and CC&Rs can be used to protect one’s property and property rights, however in both aviation and non-aviation related communities, the […]

A new definition of airport needed

By General Aviation News Staff · September 23, 2005 ·

I just finished your article “To save our airports” (July 22 issue). It is frustrating that politics saps so much joy from everyday GA operations. After following this subject for years, including leaseholder issues, business growth and finance problems, stability and viability in GA, community relations and “good neighbor” operations, I have come to believe […]

An exceptionally naive point of view

By General Aviation News Staff · September 23, 2005 ·

Why did you post this letter, “Eliminating the terrorist threat,” in the Aug. 5 issue? This person’s point of view is obviously exceptionally naive. Effectively, he’s saying that if we were just to come home and be nice so will everyone else. Is it really necessary to post such an absurdity? Please confine yourselves to […]

A simple matter? Building a reduced-scale replica presents its own challenges

By General Aviation News Staff · September 9, 2005 ·

By PETER M. BOWERS. One of the popular areas of the homebuilt aircraft movement is the designing and building of reduced-scale replicas. For the most part, these are reproductions of well-known single-seat fighters which, when built, are right in the size-weight-power range of the typical single-seat homebuilt. However, this is not just a simple matter […]

Failure of mysterious part results in emergency landing

By Paul McBride · September 9, 2005 ·

QUESTION: I have a 1975 Piper Warrior with a Lycoming 0-320 E3D. On the way to Oshkosh I lost oil pressure and made an emergency landing (aircraft and I are OK). At first I thought I had lost the front crankcase seal due to the huge amount of oil on the cowling. We took the […]

Fight against user fees heats up

By Charles Spence · September 9, 2005 ·

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Even though the members of Congress have been in their summer recess, this has not been a quiet period for the people here representing general aviation. They have been busy, and signs indicate they will be even busier. Despite long protestations that user fees were out of the question for GA, the […]
