    Ever heard of a Pilot with extreme fear of drops, + training questions

    I have a fear of fall and it hampered my training quite a bit. For some it goes away, it never really went away for me. It was in my head and still is. I just don’t pay much attention to it anymore. The more you feed your fear the more it controls you. Ask me how I know it and I am fully aware...

    yes, oil consumption has been higher, relatively speaking. usually she drinks 1 qt every 10.5 hours (about the same time when i need a new set of battery for the ANR headset). This year she is drinking some more, like 1 qt every 8-9 hours. think she has a drinking problem. havent flown very much...

    now that i have your attention :p got these pics from my new-to-me AP/IA. something weird going on with the intake valves. nothing that needs attention right away, the compressions are all in high 70s, JPI doesnt show anything majorly out or ordinary, i did notice lower EGT that the rest on #2...

    Vaping in the cockpit.

    Smoking / vaping is bad, everyone including the smoker knows it. I dont think thats what OP is asking. anywho... OP - if you are using classic vape it produces water vapor, that too not much. i highly doubt that will cause any problem to your avionics considering the fact that those avionics...

    Medical backlog

    Don’t know the answer to your question, but everything in FAA is backlogged. I sent a change of address to me of July, it’s still under process. Sent them an email 2 weeks ago asking for a status update, they replied saying they are processing paperwork work as of June 5 and they will eventually...

    [Na]Who is traveling internationally these days?

    I travelled to india earlier this year, twice. Just as the delta variant was starting over there. Wouldn’t have if it was my choice, but it wasn’t a choice. All international travel is nightmare with Covid testing regime in place and the fact the airlines don’t often know all the rules adds more...

    Lycoming Engine Sputter in Flight

    I had something similar happen to me last month, I have no idea what it was, sudden sputter at about 2000 feet, I turned back and circled the airport few times to ensure it wasn’t going to die on me and then continued to my destination about 30 min away. This is the first time for me in 4 years...

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    Yeah that 21 or 25 miles won’t make much difference in my life. I am buying it for the insane HP and torque that you can only get in a 392 version (read insanely more money) and of course the $7500 tax credit from the feds. I got it at 13% below MSRP which is a pretty awesome right now. It is...

    Tesla Model 3 - Finally.

    In Jeep world it’s called max regen, essentially when you let go of the gas paddle, it will apply regenerative braking (like a golf cart) to slow the vehicle down as well as (for the Jeep anyway) it will use that energy to charge the big arse battery a little. It’s not a complete EV per day...
