When you're tracking a moving plane, say on the taxiway, is it better to follow the airplane and then take the shot or is it better to point the camera at one spot and take the picture when the airplane comes into view? Whats the best shutter speed for moving airplanes say on taxiway, runway, or in ...

Jump to postThat press conference was a sham. Just because the country had some overspending based on a phony economy doesn't mean that we have to turn it into socialism.

Jump to postIf you're doing FAA then just go to local pt61 flight school and if you only have 2 months, make sure you reserve a date with an examiner well ahead of time. I'm not sure what the waiting list for an examiner is but it could take weeks. Just curious, you said you have no cash even for these lessons....
Jump to postContact the flight schools, they will be more than happy to assist you in bringing you to their flight school. Business is really slow here with the local people wanting to fly. I would try Florida or Phoenix. If you can have free housing, that would be a major advantage. However, JAA training is a ...
Jump to postDoes the autopilot turn off when there is an engine failure on the 170? Also for those who have flown the 145 and the 170 what are the differences particularly in the avionics?
Jump to postThe problem with your idea is that you want it to be universal, in the FARs. I understand you reasoning though, why does an aircraft need 45 mins of reserve for all flights even if you're flying in VFR Hawaii? Short answer is safety and in fact that 45 min in some cases is cutting it close. I've had...
Jump to postWhat's a good type rating to have for corporate/charter flying?

Jump to postI don't wear clip ons for the simple fact that you have to button the top button. The regular tie does the job of covering the top button so it looks like it's buttoned.
Jump to postI'm reading through systems right now, particularly flight controls. Why does the CRJ have the stab trim disconnect on the yoke close to the flight director sync? It would seem like if you're not paying attention or are new you could probably hit the wrong button.
