Yes. The high-intensity LED backlighting used in the AT300 provides excellent sunlight readability throughout the complete viewing envelope of the AT300’s high-resolution LCD display. The backlighting is automatically dimmed under low ambient lighting conditions to provide uniform, flicker-free illumination that will not overpower your other instruments.

Yes you can! Whether you're on wheels or floats, homebuilt or corporate jet, we have several options for our guests to personally fly North of the border. Floatplanes can fly direct to the lodge, while land-bound planes can either fly right to our floatplane base in Silver Falls, Manitoba, or one of the other local airports. For more information, see our pilot's page.

You will be flying the airplane not only after but also during your first flight lesson under your instructor's supervision! Depending on the wind conditions and your desire, your instructor may even allow you to perform the take-off during your first lesson. After only a few hours of instruction, you will work on communications, navigation, taxiing, taking off, and landing. Learning how to fly is an intense, rewarding experience that all pilots remember fondly.

The SB-45 remotes are designed with a liquid crystal technology that will not fade out in bright sunlight like “LED” style signs. Actually the more sun that shines on the display, the easier it is to read.

Why this long lag or delay between when I press the shutter and when the camera takes the picture? (shutter lag)

You should not fly after your 32nd week of pregnancy. Remember to drink plenty of water and to walk about the cabin every 30 minutes.

Yes, the chair can be configured to control anything that is radio controlled, airplanes would certainly be something fun to fly with the Heli-Chair! Because the chair does NOT aim itself at the aircraft, flying an airplane is slightly more complicated than hovering a helicopter in front of you. You would simply have to address the issue of the aircraft flying in a position that it is hard to rotate your head and watch it.

I am currently flying for a major airline which I would not wish to disclose for personal reason but I do not mind answering questions that are of general interest to the air travelers. The sinking feeling and momentary weightlessness you experienced are basically the effect of air turbulence. I have wrote about this topic as well as in various answers to previous queries.

A large part of general aviation flying is done in airplanes that pilots rent at their local airport. Rental fees are normally computed on the basis of specified dollar amount per hour. The fee normally covers everything, including fuel, oil and insurance on the airplane. Aircraft leasing is also a popular method of flying without buying, especially by business organizations. There are tax advantages to buying your own airplane and then leasing it to a flying club.

Yes, but keep in mind that decals that your print in your printer are not designed to withstand the elements and they will fade with time and harsh conditions, no matter how well you protect them. It is not the decal itself but rather the inks on your printer that are not designed for this purpose

Brightness is usually measured in cd/m2, which is somehow pronounced "nits", which essentially is a measurement of candlepower over a square meter area. Standard off-the-shelf displays are 200-250cd/m2, while High Brightness (HB) displays are 1,000cd/m2 or more. You should never compare SB prices of one manufacturer against HB prices on the same size monitor from a competing manufacturer—you're paying for brightness, not size.

Yes, but keep in mind that decals that you print in your printer are not designed to withstand the elements and they will fade with time and harsh conditions, no matter how well you protect them. It is not the decal itself but rather the inks on your printer that are not designed for this purpose.

Yes. The LCD was chosen for its high readability and clarity in ALL lighting conditions (including direct sunlight). It has a similar brightness as a Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD).

With great skill and the right conditions. Read accounts of remarkable flights by SOSA pilot Adam Zieba.

Building an airplane and flying one have little or no relationship to each other. Please remember this. You must ask yourself, "What do I REALLY want to do". Are you a builder or a flyer or both? Many people are drawn to the Mini-IMP because the sleek appearance appeals to their fantasy of being a fighter pilot. This is all well and good, but is not the best motivation to be able keep to the long-term task of building an airplane.

long as you are in good health, flying should not present a problem. Airlines today are well pressurized and relatively comfortable. However, as you near your delivery day, you should probably avoid flying. Before taking a trip, simply talk to your doctor.

SkyVenture Aviation operates Cessna Pilot Centers. The aircraft you learn to fly most likely be a new or late model Cessna 172 SP, also known as a "Skyhawk". As a Cessna Pilot Center, you are guaranteed to have access to a training aircraft less than two years old!

Brownsville International airport will be closed to all traffic during air show. General Aviation aircraft wishing to attend Air Fiesta 2006 should plan to arrive prior to 12 noon on Saturday or Sunday and should plan to depart no earlier than 5 pm local time on either day. The FBOs on the field will provide parking and fuel.

Transient tie-downs are available at mid-field, east of the Chevron fuel island. Tie-down fee is a few dollars per night. If you prefer -- and if space is available -- I can look into hangaring your airplane elsewhere, subject to availability and price.

FlightAdventures only flies meticulously maintained aircraft, equipped with the latest avionics, radios, and systems designed for your safety and comfort! Considering that most flight schools use aircraft that average over 20 years old, you'll appreciate this amazing opportunity.

I don't believe so. NASA actually taught monkeys to be astronauts. I believe that with a little training that almost anybody can fly an airplane. It takes some finesse but with practice this becomes natural. In fact, you will actually fly the airplane on your first lesson.

Initially, an airplane is easier to fly. A helicopter is less stable and will not fly if the pilot takes his or her hands off the controls. However, once you get the feel of it, it is like riding a bicycle - you do it without thinking.

When over Antarctica we fly at approximately 10,000 feet above sea level, which brings us within 2000 feet of the highest ground. This altitude provides excellent viewing while still respecting the wildlife habitats at sea level.

This will be user controllable. The screen will also function in a reflective monochrome mode that is ultra-low power consumption. Brightness of screens is not an absolute measurement but is dependent on ambient light. If the light is too bright, the color display will be harder to see, however the monochrome mode will function better.
