    FiOS vs. Comcast Internet

    Absolutely no comparison FiOS is amazing.. With comcast you are on a shared circuit so when everyone gets home there is a degradation in service. You will not experience that with FiOS. I make it a point when I setup new offices to put them in a place where Verizon fios business is available.

    Daily Pic

    Going through my pictures and thought I would add a few. We bought our Cirrus in December and flew it home to Dallas from Seattle. I also had one from Manhattan a few weeks ago when we brought it back from the avionics upgrade in Boston.

    1st XC in the Cirrus. Learning to trust computers.

    Valid point.. If I get in, start up after a refuel and within a few minutes the message goes off, I wont switch. I figure fuel burn is marginal on the ground. On COPA I noticed some people have the timer set to 20 minutes. The idea is more frequent switching is better. If you aren't on COPA...

    1st XC in the Cirrus. Learning to trust computers.

    Bryan, I believe you are in Dallas as well. Congrats on the new plane. I saw your original post when you got it but didn't get a chance to congratulate you. I have an SR22 based at TKI. Actually just flew it back from an avionics upgrade in Boston this weekend. I am not sure if you know or...

    For Chipotle lovers

    This is funny it made me go look and to my surprise I have only spent $1,199.96 over the past eight month. I typically get the "Quesa-rito" which isnt on the menu but is awesome. I go because it is quick and the meat is good quality. I'm in Dallas so there are lots of other "mexican" joints but...

    Co-Ownership and Fuel Cost

    Good questions Sam. Don't have an answer for that.. Definitely something to bring up.

    Co-Ownership and Fuel Cost

    No, when it comes time for overhaul using your example partner A = 30 hours, B = 220. Partner A will pay 7% while partner B pays 93%.. (if my math is right).

    Co-Ownership and Fuel Cost

    Me and a friend are finalizing all of the preliminaries to purchase an 06' SR22 together. I am curious what those that are in co-ownership arrangements are doing about shared fuel cost? We are not planning on setting an "hourly" rate since there is just two of us. All of the maintenance cost we...

    Do Piston Engine TBOs Make Sense?

    Good info.. I wasn't sure if once these engines hit TBO most people started to yank and rebuild them. Good to know its not a hard set number and mileage-may-very.

    Dallas Area Flight School

    I have heard of RFC but don't have any experience. I did all of my training out of McKinney with the Texins Flying Club. They bill everything on tach time which saves quite a bit of money. I would often see days during training where we would log 1.1 hobbs and I would pay 0.7. The instructor...

    Do Piston Engine TBOs Make Sense?

    What do you think is the best approach to achieving "advanced monitoring of condition"? For example, TBO is 2000 hours and you exceed that, what intervals should you be concerned with monitoring the condition and what all is involved?

    Do Piston Engine TBOs Make Sense?

    Me and a partner are looking into purchasing a 2005 SR22 and it has got me looking into engine overhaul time. Do most people here follow manufactures TBO? Some of the planes we are looking at are over TBO and others are getting close to it. I came across this post on the AOPA blog which...

    Drone shoots footage of space needle

    Agreed. I noticed they are missing a lot of airports. I cant believe that Love Field (DAL) is not on the list. That is Southwests main hub in Dallas. I didn't know if the GPS was always on and would validate that you are not in a restricted area even in manual flight. I have never operated...

    Drone shoots footage of space needle

    So I spend the past week in Vegas and happened across a store that sales drones and found out some interesting information. This location only had the phalcon drones(the phalcon 2 shot the video) it was a very small store in container park. I got to talking with the sales rep and was asking...

    Alternator hosed on night flight

    Encountered the same event when I was in training; I think it was my third or fourth lesson. Definitely an attention grabber.:yikes: Sounds like y'all handled it well. After that event I realized the importance of a hand-held radio. We were in class Delta airspace..

    Drone shoots footage of space needle

    Pretty amazing footage from a GoPro strapped to a drone. With the several drone topics around here I got to scouring youtube and found this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqwwrG9-uX4 Curious what the FAA is going to do about these long-term. I'm sure they will be like everything...

    Passed the Checkride!

    Yea I saw that yesterday.. I can sympathize with the OP of that thread.. Something I definitely need to continue to build my skills on. I have always been directionally challenged.. I am surprised I was able to make it to the airport from the house on a regular basis I got lost for several...
