Wow, no engine driven fuel pumps! And so many other systems without redundancy! Apparently it doesn't have a RAT either. This is NOT a Cessna 150 that you fly at the local flight club. This aircraft, as many western types has a complex fuel system,which consists of many sections in each wing,a tank...

***Mr Gorski said: "One version of events says that the plane approached the airport four times, because every time the Russians refused it permission to land; they wanted to send the plane with the president to an airport in Moscow or Minsk, "They came up with some dubious reasons: that there was f...

2loopa: Here some facts of all the crashes of TU-154, most of it is shitty maintenance and human factors. Seems like Iran has the most deadly ones. That's really bad. As a matter of fact, one of my friends is an Iranian AME, for some reason he says that TU is a tough machine, and he compared it to t...

2loopa: I'll keep my opinion about iranian pilots and their training to myself...Check aviation-safety.net for instance. First of, Tu-154M is a great airliner, your knowledge is very little about them, so, don't post here things you have only heard of...Shitty maintenance is a #1 problem is this par...

Good manual to start is "Instrument Procedure Manual" published by TC, and "Pultz" is pretty good.

Oh ya...I guess Canada and USA is in love with communist stuff.

:idea: Besides T Belt, there are other things you must check. And taking VW on the long trips like this in my opinion is not a good idea, unless it is a newer one... Depending on what year and model it is, VW has some small things that will be major if not taken care of before long drives. Just to n...

Great school to get your CPL and Multi IFR done. Friendly atmosphere, once you get to know people, you will enjoy every minute spent there. Very experienced and professional CFI (Scott Peters). They have 2 C-150, 4 C-152, 3 C-172 and nicely equiped twin Seneca. I personally think doing your training...
