    Yet another I hate modern cars rant

    While I do have my frustrations with some features of new cars... (oncoming headlights so bright I need sunglasses, touchscreens, UI's that require a half dozen button presses to change the temp inside the car, etc). One thing that I will say is that unlike the cars I grew up driving, these...

    Since they don‘t release CVR audio, I doubt they would release video.

    ...

    Just adding on (most of this has already been mentioned). I did something similar to this. I was a contract instructor and used a 182RG to fly to week long classes around the country. I was based in the Chicago area at the time and my longest trip doing that was to Boston. Although most were...

    Month to Month Insurance is a thing?

    The policy I had didn’t have monthly payments but (for a small fee) they let you pay with 4 payments.

    PA28 down near Gainesville, FL

    So why did I get XM weather and ADSB in for weather when it was ATC's job all along to provide me with constant weather updates? :dunno:

    Marker beacon not working

    Yep. I would not worry about it. When I was building my panel about 10 years ago, I couldn’t find a remote audio panel that had a marker beacon receiver. PS Engineering told me the beacons were being phased out and that they were going to start making their panel mount audio panels without...

    [NA] Dropping provider, preserving emails

    I dropped Comcast about two years ago. I didn't hear about any requirement to log in through their web interface. Email still works.

    Cost of owning A fixed vs. retract

    According to my IA, the annual cost on my 182-RG wasn't that much more than the annual on a fixed gear 182. But that's for the inspection. I had brake swivel fitting that had to be replaced. At the time, they were about $500 each. Fortunately, never had to replace the actuators. I hear that...
