This is a wild airport with crazy wind shear. Here'w another crazy landing, same airport in Canada.

Of course we cannot forget this hall of fame classic! Got to love how the guy reaches back to grab the GoPro!

Strongly consider using an aircraft escrow/title company to make sure the registration & title are properly sorted. A lot of the good escrow companies walk the paperwork over to the FAA to ensure title transfers with funds.

Owning a 182 Turbo, I fly routinely 16,500 or 17,500 with oxygen of course. The draggy 182 manages 165 kTAS up high. Up that high with tail winds not uncommon to get smooth air and 200+ MPH ground speed. Other benefit is literally no traffic as everything else 12K or lower or 25K or higher...

The future G3X will likely stay with CanBus for panel upgrades. Bet they will introduce a G3Xi with same form factor but higher resolution with a faster processor. Most certified aircraft can't mount a larger screen and the market size for 12" is niche. Maybe if the new experimental market...

Does the Garmin Concierge feature work over Garmin Connex or just FS510?

Nope, Get the standard GTX-345 go forth and enjoy! BTW... top tip... have the Avionics shop install the OAT temp probe which is an option. This GTX-345 will display density altitude instead of pressure alt if you choose. Hot & heavy days in Georgia to high, hot and heavy while climbing at...

This is generally the outcome of practicality... meaning generally 2 majors for an engine. As @Bell206 mentioned the engine can be overhauled unlimited times, from a practical standpoint eventually so many parts are below tolerances a person is buying 80-90% new parts the tipping point to just...

The original Cessna lights will work with the new Magnetometer. Though a good excuse to upgrade. James Gallagher hooked me up with complete LED lighting package for my 182. Looks terrific and seriously saves current. The plane was recently repainted while they were at it, had them modify the...

Having 2 radios seems like a good idea, especially if someone wants to fly IFR. Just add GNC215 for the win. Given foreign abilities to spoof and degrade GPS, having at least one VOR is a nice idea. Should the GPS fail for whatever reason, VOR back-up is reassuring. Any flying, especially IFR...

Transient parking can be a biatch. It is a very busy little airport. I had to wait 30 minutes for a space to open.

One of the best lines in the movie:

Another way to consider it is ridicule and extreme mockery of people like this is the proper epitaph for his "1000 year reign".

They have Hitler getting a phone call from every politician.

A lot of you have probably seen the Hitler rant videos on YouTube based of the movie Downfall. There was a particularly hilarious one where Hitler is ranting about the weather and not having his IFR cert. I'm trying to find it again, but no-joy. Anyone seen it?

A pre-buy inspection is more rigorous than an annual inspection. You control the pre-buy while the IA controls the annual inspection. The pre-buy is your guy and not the sellers. Mike Bush has a terrific video on pre-buy verses annual for purchase assessments. EDIT: Savvy Aviation Pre-buy...

Here's one way to do it: :cool:

Actually yes. It was used by the US airforce in the 70's and into the 90's. I saw the celestial nav process on a F-111 in 1981 and got tour of how it worked. From Wikipedia on Cestrial Navigation: The US Air Force and US Navy continued instructing military aviators on celestial navigation use...

Well... You could buzz people's airport homes, or deliberately crash a good plane, or try jumping out of a one plane to skydive into another and keep flying.... Oh, wait... never mind.

There is some good advice here to have a look. Before you start... Tally up the amperage load in the system. Have you added new avionics, stuff plugged into the cigar lighter? Your aggregate load could be exceeding the amperage of the alternator. @Dan Thomas suggested measuring the current of...
