    Why does the FAA hate ADHD so much?

    I’ve flown with several folks with it, just not clinically diagnosed. They drive me crazy, constantly screwing with the FMS, or turning knobs. I just want to grab them and be like stopppp, just enjoy the views lol… Seriously though, the FAA is so far behind on medicals it’s not even funny...

    Molex Crimp Connectors

    Yes, I figure there is a part from Digikey or Mouser that isn’t $3 per unit. Maybe I’m wrong.

    Molex Crimp Connectors

    Does anyone have a Molex part number for Digikey for the bendix/king style connectors? I have 1721601805 but not sure if that is a good one or not.

    G5 IGRF forced software update??

    I recently updated mine to solve this issue but it only went through 1 cycle, it didn’t do a second flash you speak of.

    G5 CDI/HSI

    Guess it needs to go to a dealer unfortunately. I’ve looked at every setting from the G5, G500, to GTNxxx setup menu and can’t figure it out. Oh well ha

    G5 CDI/HSI

    Does anyone know why my G5 doesn’t show a CDI? It basically just acts like a bearing pointer. I have a GTN750 and 650, I can select the source on the G5 backups from GPS1 or GPS2 and then also select an additional bearing pointer to either VLOC1 or VLOC2. My concern is, if for example I...

    A&P Knowledge Tests

    Thanks for the replies. I haven’t went to get the 8610 sign off yet but I have spoken with them and have the correct items needed for it, just need to find the time to make an appointment happen. I’ve taken all the pilot exams through ATP but just wanted to find the best way to get through...

    A&P Knowledge Tests

    Has anyone taken the 3 knowledge tests recently? I believe I am going to try and tackle mine soon, but I was curious as to the best study material out there for the test. Kings, etc, etc? There doesn’t seem to be as much good info out there as there is for the pilot exams.

    Latest LightSpeed trade-in offer

    I totally agree. I was just a little miffed, but guess they don’t need to sell scratch and dent stuff to help with advertising [emoji1787]

    Latest LightSpeed trade-in offer

    I love Lightspeed but they frustrated me recently. I own a flight school and called them to ask if I could buy a couple of used Sierras that they take in on trade. I thought it would be a great way to allow students to get hooked on a nice product and be a nice aid in flight training for...

    The FBO is watching your flight?

    I believe it’s becoming more of an issue and only going to become worse. Just in the last month our local air sport installed a virtower setup to track operations at the airport for funding, and already the airport manager has called me in reference to flight school planes and if it was such...

    GAMI G100UL STC available now

    I agree, STC is garbage… Give a list of approved engines and add it to the price at the pump.

    No crankshafts available for 18-24 months

    I’ve never seen a Superior engine in the wild. I just got a O360 delivered and took Lycoming 8 months to deliver, although I forecasted that into my timeline when ordering.

    Own a Flight School or Rental Business? Leaseback Rant!

    I did 1 for about 8 months on a C-150 and the airplane just didn’t rent enough to make any money for either of us. It was a dead break even honestly. In todays market the 172’s out rented the 150, 25 to 1. I took $15 per hour and the rest went to the owner, he paid all expenses. I just did...
