    I’m calling the peak

    I’ve seen 3 clapped out 70’s 172’s this morning for all over $125k. Horrid avionics, high time etc. I own 3 myself and while it’s nice to see that, it’s also beyond unreasonable. If people would just stop buying the ****, it would correct itself.

    I’m calling the peak

    Doesn’t even make sense… [emoji2359] It may not be a fact but not far from it.

    McCauley Prop - C172

    Looking at the TCDS and trying to figure out the difference between a DTM prop and a CTM prop in the model number. I know it’s unrelated to the seaplane prop. I figure climb or cruise? Just trying to buy a extra prop to get overhauled.

    Flight Suits

    [emoji28] I think I’ll skip out on commando! Seems rough! I usually just wear khaki shorts and a tshirt but I just feel like the boys just get squashed down there. Need more room, maybe running shorts could be a better option.

    Flight Suits

    Curious to what everyone wears under their flight suits? I spend 6 hours in the plane a few times a week and don’t currently wear one but I think I’d like to. I know it will be warmer, just looking for comfort.

    DPEs: how firm is the >50NM rule? Would distances of 49.5NM be rounded up?

    I’ve argued this a few times. DPE checks with ForeFlight, it says 50. Put a old sectional on that table and a plotter and you get about 50.5 lol….

    Broward County Police Copter Down

    Not special at all, just silly of folks to say well some people only think like a fixed wing pilot, etc.

    Broward County Police Copter Down

    Maybe haters was a strong word, I take that back. The Monday morning opinions though are just that though. I’m dual rated fixed and rotary as well.

    Broward County Police Copter Down

    I think ya’ll haters seem to be forgetting exactly how close he was to the airport. We’re not talking minutes, we’re talking seconds. Who knows what the lights were or were not doing. Maybe his lights went out, maybe they didn’t. Regardless, he did the best he could with what he had I firmly...

    Broward County Police Copter Down

    The paramedic passed, not the pilot per their Facebook. They were basically on top of the field, just not close enough. If you have a fire light, blow the bottles and land. Auto down in a street or think you have the extra 15 seconds to make the airport property when everything is feeling fine...

    Is Dan Gryder the biggest asset to aviation on youtube?

    I’m not defending the fella, but I disagree with how wrong you guys think he is all the time. The court case is one thing and he’s been slipping more lately, but still.

    Is Dan Gryder the biggest asset to aviation on youtube?

    He’s the Alex Jones of the aviation world. Quite frankly most of his content makes me cringe, BUT…. That being said, the man calls it usually like it is and that’s too much salt for some folks wounds. Is he an asswagon at times? Yea…. Doesn’t change the fact that he isn’t scared to just call it...

    Boat or Airplane

    That boat is more expensive every time…. Hands down.

    Is “reaching your breaking point”

    Why even go after the guy to get the axe, he finished the job, just let him put it back in the car. Secondly, the FAA and all the HIMS bs needs to be put to the grave.

    172M Oil Temps to 265!!! Help!

    Well, as I mentioned earlier…. Mine does the same thing…. At 2300 hours of doing the same thing, OAT doesn’t change too much. Is what it is…

    OSH - T-6 goes into Lake Winnebago Saturday 7/29 morning

    There was nothing wrong with that landing in the video. T-6 on pavement in Oshkosh, that’s a keeper.

    Four Dead In OSH Accidents: T-6 In Lake, Helicopter-Gyrocopter Midair

    I second this…. At the end of the day, stuff happens. Is it very unfortunate, yes. It could have been prevented as well, but… So can the majority of accidents that happen and over regulation doesn’t prevent this from happening. I heard someone talking about the guy flying the FX picking up the...

    Announcing on CTAF 15 miles out - why is this a thing?

    I call mikes when I’m flying something slow, when I’m in the jet, I called miles and if the pattern is busy, I’ll add, a 5 minute call. For student pilots and others, it’s always nice to add minutes.
