    How do I become a fighter pilot?

    Latest class here nobody wanted fighters and they made a few go that track who didn’t want it. Seems like a different mindset lately…

    Inadvertent ice encounter

    Nah I’ve picked up inadvertent ice a few years back in a 172. Was not forecasted at all and as I was picking it up it got sketch. ATC asked why I stopped climbing at a good rate. I said well I’m picking up ice. Tops weren’t far off they said so I limped it up. Nothing more was ever said and...

    Yay! More beautiful scenery thanks to the world saving EV.

    We recently bought a 2020 Tesla Model X. Flipping sweet car with almost 800hp of utterly quiet acceleration. It’s amazing! Did we buy it to save the planet??? Um nope, I mean I also have a ram 2500 and a scat pack challenger followed by my bonanza so saving the planet is not in my name. But...

    Thoughts on accelerated Instrument training

    Back in 2013 I did the American flyers 10day instrument course. Prerequisite was having the written done. I did sheppardair for that and had that knocked out in no time. Other than the written and what was required in the private I have no other instrument time and I didn’t study anything prior...

    G5 flush mount

    They carry flush mount kits. I just had one installed in my bonanza. They cut out the location in the panel and rivet in place. Little bondo and paint and it looks great. I wouldn’t see why that couldn’t happen in a 172. This is what I got...

    Anyone lose it and keep it off . . .

    I know this will sound odd but honestly don’t exercise. You don’t lose weight in the gym. You lose weight by being in a caloric deficit and you don’t burn much actually in the gym or running. If you want to exercise just go for a walk. Exercise makes you hungry and when you’re weak you give in...

    At altitude, which throttle setting?

    I leave full throttle full prop until cruise altitude. Do you have a reason why you do not do that, noise, max rpm limit?? Once at cruise I leave it WOT adjust prop and lean. I’m in a NA IO-520 bonanza. I know this doesn’t answer your question but wondering why you go 25 square and accept poor...

    NOT RECIEVING ARINC 429 MESSAGE DUAL G5

    I just had dual G5’s installed and test flight with my tech and all was perfect. On my flight home I lost gpss and got not receiving arinc 429 message the hsi displayed LOI AND VFR. It would come and go during the flight which was odd because our 30min test flight worked flawless. Tech checked...

    Do You Wash Your Wife's Car?

    Wow those are nice! True American muscle right there!!! Mine is a scat pack. I should have went hellcat but I can’t even keep these wheels planted with 500hp so I cant imagine 200 more hahaha. I do love the supercharger whine though of a hellcat!

    Some part of the fuel system busted. What's the takeaway?

    When I first got my bonanza I started to smell fuel while doing practice approaches one day. Immediately landed and sniff tested out to the fuel selector. Pulled everything off and the flare had broken in the b nut on the fuel line that leaves the selector to the engine! Glad nothing worse happened!
