Pledge? Not sure I would use that on plexiglass. I use Zep. Ammonia free cleaner. Cheap and easy to get. Use microfiber cloth. Used by many...

I don’t believe that. Sen. Inhofe and other pilots in Congress would not let this happen. AOPA might have been in there first, but many others including, NBAA, were also all over this. Joining aopa is a personal decision. Look at all they do and if your interests align, send a check. And if...

Tom - Call your local FSDO, ask your question, and post the summary of the call here.

I ditched AOPA years ago after seeing those salaries. Their exec team is well compensated and those payments to Boyer and Fuller... nope. They have enough and don’t need mine. Foundation, investments, lease-backs.... one tangled weave. Here is one of the old articles on this topic...

Go buy an iPad screen protector. Cut to size and place over the GTN. Makes cleaning going forward quite simple. The GTN works fine with the protector over it. I did this years ago and never looked back.

After studying the performance charts I decided to upgrade from the 10MM nozzles to the 15MM ones. My pump is large enough to drive the new nozzles but I had to upgrade the manifold valve. This 50% increase will allow higher concentrations when you do the Special High Intensity T-route flying...

The patent in dispute is not a technology patent but a process patent, and those are though to prove. If it was a technology patent it would have gone down differently.

Thanks for coming out. What a great event! These controllers get so much from this experience and our skies are safer because of it. These trainees will go to another installation once training in complete and it's great to help them as they build their foundation. Like you I let my RAPCON...

...and what just happened? No trial, suit is gone, and tail beacon is still for sale. Tells me Garmin lost.

Anyone else want to fly an air traffic controller this weekend? If so, register at the link above. We have a great group of guys already lined-up. Weather will be a very pleasant 71 degrees with full sun. Come join us if you are close by.

Yes, we do this annually. Been doing this for several years now. In return they give us an in-person tour of the SJAFB tower and RAPCON facilities. We get to see the controllers in action and ask any question we want. It's really a cool relationship the locals have with these guys. There is so...

Sweet - look forward to having you. SJAFB said they are bringing 50+ controllers. I know they are responsible for Pope air space but I don't know specifically if they are attending. I don't know about MCAS either.

Calling all NC, SC, and VA pilots, The Goldsboro Wayne Aviation Association is once again holding their “Fly a Controller” event at the Wayne Executive Jetport, Saturday October 19, 2019. So what exactly is a “Fly the Controller” event? Do you know most ATC personnel are not pilots? Nor have...

??????????? Field approvals are for minor changes too. They are for approvals for many different types of changes. For ex I can install an asp4a which isn’t certified in model x for autopilot altitude preselect and get field approval since it’s not covered under an STC. This is not major...

A 337 is for major alterations. Installing this isn’t no means a major alteration. https://www.faa.gov/forms/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/185675 Is the unit certified for your bird? If not, field approval is one option.

Two concerns with Stratus: 1. Charge port failures and repair costs. 2. Cost. Way over priced. Stratux all the way.

I don’t place lots of value in VRef. It’s all about the prebuy. VRef can say $200,000, then I see $60,000 of open items. Deferred maintenance, corrosion, gear-up not repaired correctly, motor issues, avionics one flight away from going t-up, etc. Many, many birds flying have deferred maintenance...

Older model Bluetooth.

Aps4a approved for your aircraft? Or you going for field approval? Should be a nice panel. I have many hours behind an Aspen and a GTN and they play together nicely. You opt for SVT and AOA or go without?
