Avionics tech says intermittent, internal fault on the comm side only. Repair options… strictly factory? How does that usually play out?

The manufacturer says: "We are recommending you purchase a 60 amp inline breaker or fusible link at the battery." without any suggestion of what brand CB, or what CB might work. (won't be using a fuse) Ideas welcome.

Yesterday I was flying into an airport in which the ceiling continued to lower until at approach time, it was at LPV minimums for ceiling (vis was 7). That's cool I thought; might make it in. Passing the IAF, had LPV illuminated then soon after got a warning about the approach being downgraded...

Yesterday we were repositioning two airplanes of similar cruise performance and flying low level (no flight following) to stay out of headwinds. The trailing airplane was gaining on me slightly and we were at similar altitudes b/c a 500’ altitude change meant a 10kt penalty. We were on the radio...

My homemade hangar door uses four 1/4” steel wire ropes to lift it. I have replaced some of these b/c they wear at a tight bend where they are attached to the ‘roller’. I use a synthetic rope to winch my plane in, and it’s worked amazingly well. I was wondering about using this UHMWPE rope on...

Do we need “Chartview” for Flitecharts to work? (They sold me FliteCharts but made no mention of this) Have tried to install FliteCharts for the first time, the Chart button is greyed out.

The folks manning the phones & chat are very nice - but man, are they understaffed. Call in the first 30 minutes of the day, and you are in a queue >1hr long. Later in the day, almost impossible and they do not meet the calculated wait time at all. At what point does management start building...

Did I post this already? Oh well, it's too mesmerizing to not see regularly.

I want to mark out an irregularly-shaped piece of land (ie not a rectangle, but a 6 or 7-sided weird shape; ~200ac) then share that file with someone. I have set the placemarks and can see them on the map. How to save the placemarks as a group, then share them in a usable file so that someone...

Not usually one for schmaltziness but this is frankly, adorable. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/kid-she-posed-her-pilot-115348899.html

A webinar offering by FAAST and EAA arrived by email today, and reminded me of something I recently started doing (in addition to 3 other things) when I arrive, and have fuel pumped by a lineperson. I have found that it is common for the lineperson to take my fuel order and then 10 minutes...

I read about this all the time, I'm sure everyone here has too. A paper check can have the payee and the amount changed through chemical baths etc.. So any check that sits in your (rural) outbox, or a recipient's inbox is at risk. Yes, minimal risk perhaps - until it happens to you it's not on...
