Going in my casket

Sooo I was having issues with my Garmin Aera 760 and ended up buying a new one, after some back and forth with Garmin on my old one (supposedly out of warranty) that wasn’t turning on, they just sent me a brand new one for free so I’m putting this brand new one up for sale. I have not used it...

I did a flight from Key West to the mainland and the direct route would have crossed the ADIZ, I asked ATC about it and they said I would need a transponder code with Miami ATC to cross it, so I just followed around it and kept inside which was just a few minutes out of the way anyway. I...

Thank you, I totally agree that it’s a challenge to get into gear for the written. I just went for it and decided to study and took the exam, it’s a hurdle to jump into but usually once I get started I just keep at it until it’s finished. Remind yourself to do a little work each day and when...

I’m proud that I passed my Flight Instructor Airplane written exam today. Looking forward to providing some flight reviews at future fly-in’s. :cool:

Landing while trying not to pee your pants is not fun. Then when you have to encourage your co-pilot to move quickly because the door is on their side so you can rush outside of the aircraft to pee. It’s happened, many times. Haha

My guess is that you’d be informed of a possible pilot deviation. I also know my controller at my home airport by voice and it’s my feeling that they want you to be safe so I wouldn’t worry. If you really messed up then maybe you need some more training?

6 hours is a lot, plan a stop along the way that has cheap fuel and a toilet break. I wouldn’t use oxygen for 9500’ but that’s me. I actually never tried oxygen in flight so I’m not sure if it makes you feel less tired or not. But there’s not much to it, watch your instruments and fuel, keep...

Is your airplane flyable? My mechanic helps a lot with emergency situations such as this, lmk if you want an introduction.

Gosh I’m sorry what a nightmare. I don’t even know what part that is in your photo, could it be a fake part or something to swap? I’m guessing not something so simple given the ****. I’m joining the A&P program in January, come join me. I think the second year is the engine overhaul part but...

I’m sorry to hear that you are going through this. I would recommend the protective order route, I’m not sure how to get this but I’m sure the police should be able to direct you, I think you need to go to court to request it from a judge and that the ex might have an opportunity to respond /...

The pro is pretty big, one of my friends has a yoke mount and it seems to fit everywhere he flies. I didn’t want to spend $100 on the yoke mount. I guess I’m saving money by not buying the pro. The mini is ordered and shall be delivered next week Wednesday.

Oh interesting, glad it’s something this simple, can you let us know if the grease doesn’t appear next time you fly?

I’ll try to remember that. I do remember reading about circulating oil (not sure where it actually goes), but my mind keeps thinking it’s a good thing to do. I need to start doing it once but after the airplane sits for a couple week I like to make sure everything is good before flying.

Looks like it’s California only, they hire 500 hour pilots and leaseback Cessna and Pipers, and pay for avionics upgrades (wondering what that means). Sounds cool but I don’t think they are in Chicago.

I have an older iPad with 128GB, I have foreflight downloading everything so it’s using a good amount of space but it’s still good. The only thing I don’t like is the size, it’s something like 11.5” and it doesn’t fit well when I use the yoke mount, so this 8.3” I think will fit better on my...

Awesome photos again! Would love to get some photos of me flying my Arrow.

My battery is also $65, takes me a few hours of playing around and testing the 121.5 signal and listening to it on my radio on the hour.

I would file direct, I have been cleared into the Bravo to sightsee, I found NYC Approach to be more than helpful even to someone who is new to the area.
