Not much difference

I learned to fly in Piper Cherokees and Warriors (PA-28-140, PA-28-151). I went on to do commercial work in Piper Arrows (the retractable PA-28R) but managed to get some time in C-172s and the US...

Temporary management

I just read that the acting head of ATC will be the FAA's Chief Counsel (gasp!) Anyone who has read some of the official interpertations of regulations coming out of that office knows there is a...

inexperienced crews?

Just commenting on deSitter's observation a page ago making an assumption about the RJ's crew experience level. While the Airbus crew no doubt has more total time, I have to wonder if they are likely...

Still confused (though perhaps less)

SoCal,

SPOOKY Mid-air story

I own a plane (made in 1968) that was in a mid-air in 1970 over Alabama. This was long before I owned it.

Disclaimer: you should check on the legality of listening in your country. Here in the US it is no problem, different story in the UK. Not sure elsewhere.
