What airport in Chicago do you fly out of? This trip is not at all crazy, but you might enjoy it more if you take a couple of days to get down seeing things on the way, a couple more where you stay on the ground enjoying the Keys (or wherever), and a couple more to get back... And, of course...

I'm a CFI, working with my first instrument student... Training him in a G1000 Cessna 172. I am ready to start doing simulated "partial panel" work. I have previously done partial panel in a Cirrus SR22T, and the manufacturer recommended process was a simple (and very realistic) pulling of a...

Thanks Kent! This is an excellent write up, and I'm going to get in the plane this week and try it out! Thanks!

Thanks for your responses, everyone. It turns out, that the shop that did the install didn't wire it correctly to the autopilot the first time, so it couldn't capture the glideslope. That part has been fixed, and now it works. So, just so I understand the proper operation/sequence for using...

My flying club just upgraded their 172SP to a dual Garmin G5/ GTN650 combo. They kept the old King KAP140 autopilot. I have been trying to find info about flying approaches with this combination. I have figured out that I can put the G5 in GPSS mode and select heading on the autopilot to track...

I fly out of an airport in southern WI. Here’s my strategy when flying in from the south... file to Campbell or Waukegan. Then, when I get the handoff to Chicago approach I’ll generally get a fairly direct routing through the B over ORD at 6k. Then, I either change my desitination with Chicago...

I haven't read through all of the postings in this thread, so maybe this has been addressed... In the privacy act in the OP's first post, the last item says that he is not required to respond. If he chooses not to respond, the FAA will make a determination without his input. Without an actual...

I have two older Lightspeed Mach 1 headsets... the in ear type that was once a competitor to Clarity Aloft. Recently, I decided to consider buying a newer headset. I checked out the CA headset, but I wanted a modern headset with Bluetooth. When I saw that it costs $200 to add Bluetooth to a CA...

That was an excellent video! Thanks for sharing!

Maybe this is a stupid question... Why do most of the portable ADS-B receivers connect over WiFi instead of Bluetooth? Connecting over WiFi means my cell phone loses its data connection as soon as I connect to a Stratus. The only receiver that I know of that uses Bluetooth is Garmin...

Greetings all! I am a 900 hour instrument rated private pilot. For a while, I have considered becoming a CFI/CFII as a side job/hobby. I have a fine career (non-aviation), and have no intention of becoming a professional pilot. I've been kicking the idea around more as a way to give back a...
