Congrats on the PPl! Congrats also on wanting to get the instrument rating. It will give you so many more XC opportunities, and make you an even better pilot overall. Instrument rating is as hard and will take as long as a PPL. Great that your taking time to enjoy your PPL before...

Nice! Would really like to see some pictures of that.

And that is why I never bet on sports. Or anything.

That breakfast will betray you

Tyson in 1 round. Maybe 2.

Whoa - I have to show this quote to my wife. :biggrin:

Uh….. not IMHO. Given the amount of time long ago a person could have had a 3rd class, weeds have had time to creep in. It’s now for those folks effectively the Basic Med which is keeping us from Cessna terror. And Sport Pilots who have no medical are not going Dr. Strangelove on us...

A guy with your welding and shop skills I wouldn’t put in the “cobbling” category. :)

I still look at the data. Basic Med pilots are no more dangerous, falling out of the sky more than 3rd class. No need to make a hypothesis about normal PCPs vs AME’s when we have the real world data.

I think more than saving money, the real pay off will be getting rid of the bureaucracy and red tape associated with an unneeded cost.

I thought the law required a medical, but not a specific one.

Short of changing the law, the FAA could make a new 4th class identical to Basic Med and have it expire in 24 hours. That way you’d be eligible for Basic Med, and since it expired, the FAA couldn’t deny or revoke it. It would also count as a regular Basic Med. Any PCP could do this new 4th...

Nice - where did you get the tow bar, and how did you attach it to the tractor?

Maybe get a golf cart with a tow bar. Bonus, you get to drive around your airport in style. In a year I also hope to be in a hangar, and I might go the "old riding mower" option. Relatively inexpensive, more than enough power to pull and push the 182, and since it will be gas powered...

BTW - just near every airport has at least one LPV, but ILS approaches are getting hard to find.

Great to hear that they’re WAAS. IMO WAAS is important enough in precision and LPV approaches I wouldn’t fly without it. I also know of a local school here that bought old Skyhawks with non WAAS G1000s on the cheap because updating to G1000 WAAS is too expensive and I’m not sure it’s even...

What did you do to find this damaged and leaky gasket?

Great catch. The new owner should be able to confirm by looking at log book entry, or even confirming by looking at model number and SN. If true that none are WAAS then IMHO, need to replace one of them. Don’t do IFR training, etc. until that is fixed. My preference would be GTN650xi, but...

RMA?
