Still using a slide rule?

I still keep mine in my flight bag but use it a great deal less than the 1 in 60 rule but at least I know how to use it though I never did use it in the air even when GPS was a glint in DARPA's eyes....

"At the discretion of the owner"?
What sort of group is it? I'm curious as I'm a great believer in group flying but there seem to be several variations. In ours we all own an equal share and the...

It might of course be that the chap was still suffering from a degree of shock when he was interviewed and will find the Biggles comment even more cringeworthy than the rest of us. Possibly enough to...

TRS80 Transponder

We were also good little boys and fitted a TRS80 in our C-150 when the old mode A only one went unreliable. It seems we are affected by the AD so we're going to have to placard the aircraft and...

Even under the 5% rule I have come across "groups" where an owner sold a few shares of his aircraft but kept more than 50% himself and so in principle retained control. They've always struck me as...
