    alternatives to flight aware: flight tracking

    I didn't realize most of you are so important that you think people are spying on you. I know I'm not, I'm just irritated they made me spend the money. But that still was a choice sooo......

    Brain fart

    Yesterday I was IFR and Memphis center was having a hard time coming through. I thought I was gonna have to go lost comms. They were coming in broken but I could barely hear them and they couldn't hear me. Finally they heard me and asked how they sounded...I said..."I hear you but you sound not...

    Buying a vehicle long distance?

    Both vehicles I currently own have been purchased states away. All through email and then a deposit down till I got there the following weekend. I'll day if you're being specific with things regarding the sale they may ghost you as someone will be right along. I was told by a dealer to basically...

    Future of aircraft pricing, 6months to a year from now.....

    You can't time the market, keep wondering what a year will bring and you will always have an excuse not to buy. People have spent a life time sitting on the side tire kicking waiting for that drop in 6 months. I feel prices will not ever go down to pre pandemic prices. They might stay flat for a...

    Quandary!

    How would I handle it if it was me.....I'd buy out the other two or sell my share. I mean really, trying to tell a part owner how to fly? Show me in the agreement where it says I can't do repeated take offs and landings.

    HVAC guys are cool............get it???

    Have you killed the main breaker for the unit for a minute of two? I had that same issue with a furnace and the inside unit. That circuit board looks the same I had, it was hanging up on some sensor that reset with the power off. Is there a green LED on that board that flashes when it fails...

    HVAC guys are cool............get it???

    Ah I was just gonna ask if it's a gas unit and it is. That sound you spoke of, the initial sound before the main fan sounded like the exhaust fan that starts up for a gas furnace. What does that mean...I don't know hahaha. Just observing.

    HVAC guys are cool............get it???

    Does the inside fan hum while it's supposed to be on? I'm with you, capacitor or blower motor. But I still feel if the capacitor you could give the motor a fling and it should start.

    HVAC guys are cool............get it???

    If you have everything set to be working and hold the switch in, can you give the fan a spin manually and see if it starts? The capacitor is, typically, nothing more than a start capacity to give it a kick to start it. No?? And that switch looks like a cover switch so the system won't turn turn...

    King kx 155 screen are dim after screen replacement

    Have you tried removing the display and burnishing the contacts, spray with some blueshower contact cleaner and reinstall? Outside of that the brightness is likely a temp fix unfortunately.

    King kx 155 screen are dim after screen replacement

    If you pull the radio out and look on top of it you will see a few small round pieces of foil tape. One I beleive says dim by it, remove it and down through the hole you will see a small adjustment pot. I beleive it a philips head screw driver to turn it. Any other kind of pot I have no...

    King kx 155 screen are dim after screen replacement

    Might just need to pull the radio out and turn the pot to make the screen brighter overall. Easy to do and you don't need to remove the cover of the radio, just a small piece of foil tape to access the adjustment pot.

    Popup or Call FSS?

    I was flying to Dallas this past weekend and went VFR FF as the TAF showed my destination to be clear by the time I got there. About 150nm out it's was still overcast and MVFR. 75nm miles out still the same so I asked for a pop up IFR and immediately got it. They didn't ask anything other than...

    Found my rudder trim issue (Piper Lance)

    Yikes, saved by the safety wire. Textron has put out an AD on some Beechcraft's (mine was in it) to do an inspection on the turnbuckles that connect to the aileron. Reports had found some turnbuckles corroded and broke in that exact spot! I'd check others, glad they found it!
