    [NA] Check washing prevention

    Our company bank (PNC) alerted us to a possible problem with a $10,000 check. Not sure what triggered the warning, but the check image showed it was washed and they made us whole. We later got a notice from our local post office that mail was being stolen (fished out of the boxes) from the...

    Another engine heater question...

    I usually activate my engine and cabin heaters the day before I go flying. I turned them on yesterday and now I'm not flying today. Should I now just leave them on until I can go (hopefully within 3-5 days) or turn them off and start over again? I'm leaning towards just leaving them on right...
