    I'm curious which ones are different.....please explain. I don't know of a retract that doesn't center the wheel.

    Rudder usage while retracting gear

    Your CFI needs to spend some time in the shop and watch the gear while it retracts. As soon as the nose gear rotates it disengages from the steering linkage and it rides on a centering cam to straighten the nose wheel.

    Good place to hide a spare key on plane?

    zip tie a set of keys inside an access door.....either the fuel drain or a something on the firewall away from heat. But, I don't have a spare set on mine.....I'd be SOL if I lost my keys.

    VFR Flight planning through or around DC

    Yes, I'm well aware of the way it works and I have the course done. I'm squawking on flight following prior to getting near the B or SFRA....and I follow instructions. They know my destination.....and route me thru the area the way they want. If you request it....you will not get it. Sometimes I...

    VFR Flight planning through or around DC

    I fly in this area regularly....and use flight following. Just a few days ago I went around the north side of BWI and was cleared thru the SFRA....with no SFRA flight plan. So, there is that. I requested a Bravo clearance and got better. Ya just never know what they will give ya.

    N/A HVAC ECM blower motor not working
