    Ted should have asked the most important question : "How is the food at the new Pick n Pig" at BQ1. :-)

    IACRA is Offline...

    I received confirmation that my application was sent to our FSDO after it was completed the other evening....will have to wait and see if it actually made it or not.

    Why does the FAA hate ADHD so much?

    Once a doctor alters your chart with a diagnosis, you are saddled with it forever..

    Yep...I had to try three times to renew my IA a couple days ago. The system shut down for maintenance twice in the middle of the process. I hope I don't have to do it again..no fun.

    Why does the FAA hate ADHD so much?

    My son is retiring from teaching for this very reason..there is no discipline at home or at school for the most part.

    I suggest you fix your ignition issue first, then fly a few hours at cruise rpm.

    Rough Right Mag, any thought?

    Could be a plug wire, problem with p-lead, noise suppressor cap, mag switch...etc. Ditto Dana. Remove plug wires at plugs..check each plug wire for a high resistance reading to ground...set ohm meter to megohms scale...you should not see any reading other than infinity on a good wire. If you...

    Paper vs LED

    I love my EFB, but I never had a chart shutdown in flight, or overheat. I took a friend on a long flight a few years ago and as soon as we lifted off, he picked up my chart, unfolded it right in front of my field of vision. So much for following my course line :-)

    Optimum CG test

    Not all airplanes are created equal...my Bonanza changes CG as fuel is burned because the main and aux tanks are not located at the same distance from the datum. Interesting video...but most of us old guys carry tools and a spare oil in the baggage area already :-)

    Short-Field Landings

    Best advice I can give is to find a short field and practice. I never really worried about aiming at a point on the runway...just made sure I was at the correct airspeed and altitude on short final to clear the trees and land as close to the threshold as possible. No markings on a 1500' grass...

    Fastest path to A&P for personal use

    I attended a 147 school at night, total 2000 hours. Last I remember was 3000 hours needed for practical experience ( working experience ). This was over 10 years ago. Seems like we covered 40+ subjects in those 2 years. There were a few part time students who attended classes to satisfy the FSDO...

    Replacement Suggestions for King KX-155

    No practical difference in 8 or 10 watts. Either should be ok. Depending on the kx-155 you own (24 volt or 14 volt), you can greatly improve the performance of SOME, NOT ALL, by treating plug in IC's and display contacts with Caig Deoxit. I live in NC, it is very humid here compared to other...

    chronically dragging brakes

    You did good. Always check simple things first..pads need to float on guide pins. Also, verify that brake cylinders are releasing pressure. You should be able to see slight movement of brake pads when applying brake pressure, and a slight movement when released. I helped a friend push his Cub...
