    Airspeed Indicator Error

    So I might have misspoke I thought it was a mechanic, but it sounds like he is just the guy that runs the machine that clears out the static? If that is different? I didn't get a sign off. He wasn't "confident" per se, but suggested I go and try it and see... and it worked. I already have...

    Airspeed Indicator Error

    Today during training my airspeed indicator went backwards while trying a takeoff... we pulled power and parked at the airport, one of the mechanics came out and before they towed it to have it blown out and stuff... he saw some mud got into the tube and got it out. I did a fast taxi, all is...

    Squawk Shoppe ANR headsets...any good?

    Thanks I might pick up a pair, as you said these wont be worn frequently (I have my A20s that I wear) but it's pointless to buy a pair of A20s for the backseat which will never be used... even $300 for a pair of headphones that wont be used seems pretty useless to me.

    Squawk Shoppe ANR headsets...any good?

    One thought I have always had, and was considering doing a shipment from China... is the need for cheap headphones. I don't see why a cheap pair of PNRs can't be sold for $100, not for every day use... but I have a cherokee and normally it's just me and my instructor or in the future me and my...

    iPad Plane Maintenance App?

    Does anyone know of an app that lets you put in hobbs / tach and the information from your maintenance log book so that you can track things like annuals, 100 hours (if needed), 2000 hours, etc. It seems like it would be useful...but I can't find one on the app store.

    US Pilot honored after landing plane with 80% of wing missing

    I was just reading yesterday best practices to land a plane without ailerons... looked easy enough "stomp on the high wing"... put it into the sim.... crashed hard every time.

    Amazon Delivery Drones

    This is a sort of retail "moonshot" problem, I doubt he has any intentions of /actually/ doing this... but rather showing people/investors that Amazon is forward thinking and wants to stay on the cutting edge (plus file a patent on the idea, just incase someone else does it).

    We gonna talk about BitCoin?

    Though without people adopting bitcoin as a true currency and using it... it would have never had the value it has today. People who get rich now should really be thanking these guys...

    Era Alaska plane crash

    I posted this in the other thread: Not far from where I used to live (chevak & bethel), it's especially sad because in those villages and the connected villages pretty much everyone knows and is related in some way to everyone else. Especially in the middle of winter when spirits are...

    We gonna talk about BitCoin?

    I always kick myself for not buying in when my friend said "hey do you want to buy some of these bitcoins I will sell you a thousand of them for $5" and I laughed and said "who wants to buy internet money"... and there goes the day that I could have became a millionaire for $5 -- I do...

    Donating a flight for an auction.

    I am seriously asking a question, not being rhetorical... How I read the FAR this rule was designed to allow PPs to do flights for charity without violating the rules by doing a "commercial flight". Since you have your commercial, then you should be able to do the flight without needing to...

    Era crash

    Not far from where I used to live (chevak & bethel), it's especially sad because in those villages and the connected villages pretty much everyone knows and is related in some way to everyone else. Especially in the middle of winter when spirits are inherently a bit down...

    VN: Tan Son Nhut Airport (1968)

    I only have sympathy for those drafted, and even then it's hard to justify immoral actions. Maybe people were treated like monsters, because they were monsters.

    Raptor GA Kit

    I want to point out that I am not condoning the kit or suggesting it, just saying that it looks cool and it was only released as a plan this month...

    Raptor GA Kit

    Not the jet, it's actually pretty cool looking -- they are taking pre-orders for 90K and it can be completed as a turboprop or unpressurized single piston. http://www.raptor-aircraft.com/
